I am reading The Godfather
|
I have so so many books i want to read at the moment - and shelves full of unread books that my flatmates mum has given me!
But currently reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest byt Stieg Larsson (third book in his millennium series) Excellent books, but unfortunately the third one is taking me a while to read because my concentration has disappeared, and they aren't the easiest of books to follow... |
Just finished 'Sing you home' by Jodi Picoult yesterday. Going to start reading 'These things hidden' by Heather Gudenkauf
|

In Stitches: The Highs and Lows of Life as an A & E Doctor, Dr Nick Edwards, again. Epsom Downs, Howard Brenton. (For Uni) Danger to Self, On the Frontline With an ER Psychatrist, Paul R Linde MD. Dead Men Walking, Christopher Berry-Dee and Tony Brown. The Asylum for Wayard Victorian Girls, Emilie Autumn. Performance Lighting Design, Nick Moran.

Not as many as usual but I'm sh*t busy at the moment so yeah. |
Jsut re-reading Paper Towns by John Green which I think is one of the best thought out, beautiful books written in the last 10 years.
It does hurt that it's funny too ^-^ |
I'm reading one hundred years of solitude
another great book |
Oh oh oh I've heard that's good. You're enjoying it then?
I'm currently reading Les Miserables, which is pretty heavy-going (I have a Kindle, so thankfully not literally!), but I'm really enjoying it. |

Just finished 'Souls Are Made of Endurance' can't remember who by. It was awful. |
Im just about to start Jodi Picoults newest one- Sing me Home- really looking forward to it-
Have just finished re-reading - But Inside im screaming- Elizabeth Flock- would definatly recommend it, its a really good read xx |
I'm about 4 chapters away from finishing The Ambler Warning by Robert Ludlum. It's VERY good! It literally has aspects of everything! I can't wait to find out the end!

On my way to the best concert of all time yesterday (Roger Waters - The Wall. To everyone who's ever wanted to see it but can't, suck it), I bought In The Penal Colony and The Judgement by Franz Kafka, to keep myself entertained during the long wait to get in. I finished them both before they opened the doors.
Still reading The Fountainhead. I can't decide whether or not I agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy. I agree with some aspects, but vehemently disagree with others. I also can't decide whether I love the book or hate it. The character who embodies Objectivism (Howard Roark) is portrayed as being absolutely, infuriatingly flawless (apart from the fact that he's deliberately written as being fairly unattractive), the character who embodies socialism (Ellsworth Toohey) is demonised to the point that he knows damn well how evil he is but carries on regardless (and, again, is physically ugly), Dominique Francon is blatantly a more attractive version of the author herself (or possibly who the author wishes she could be)... there are only two main characters who are in any way realistic (Peter Keating and Gail Wynand). It's a fantastic story, and it's well written, though at times it seems as if Rand was trying too hard to write well. Or maybe she was trying too hard to bump the page count up to 700, I don't know. |
I'm reading 'The Street' by Kay Brellend. It's an interesting read.
|
Just read 'THe Raw Shark Texts' - Steven Hall, which was beautifully weird & bizarre.
& About to start Weathercock by Glen Duncan. |
Just finished Catcher In The Rye. I find it weird that the narrator uses all these slang terms, yet every time he talks about sex, he says "sexual intercourse". No one just colloquially says "sexual intercourse!" I liked the book overall, but whenever I ran into that, I was like AAAGH, that sounds so stupid!
Anyway. I'm still reading Spook by Mary Roach, just started The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson, and am about halfway through with Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut |
I might start doing that. The whole calling sex, sexual intercourse thing because I am just THAT cool.
|
Hahaha, if I heard someone doing that in real life, I'd be cringing so hard.
|
Im reading silent scream by Karen Rose her books are amazing!
|
I have just read
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - this is an excellent book and would recommend to everyone! Tiger's Child by Torey Hayden - okay, nothing spectacular but easy quick read, and nice to find out what happened to one of her kids years later! I have just started The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - enjoying it so far but I'm only about 40 pages through it! Really trying to get back into reading a lot and think I am succeeding! I have the 'buy too many books' syndrome and then don't manage to read them!!! So I'm working my way through the now :) |
I'm reading Xinran's The Lost Daughters of China. It's so touching. Her style is amazing. Would definately recommend:]
|
its ages since i last wote on here -
one child by tori hayden |
Parnormality - Professor R Wiseman
|
I Miss Mummy - Cathy Glass.
|
Just finished reading Broken -a novel (Daniel Clay) and am currently rereading Breaking Dawn (Stephanie Meyer) and Let The Right One In (John Ajvide Lindqvist)
|
i'm currently reading a jane green novel, called bookends. :]
|
I've read The Name of The Wind and The Wise Man's Fear from Patrick Rothfuss, I can totally recommend both of those books, even if you aren't a fantasy fan (I'm not really into the genre myself to be honest) those books are among the best I've ever read.
|
I'm currently reading This Is Gonna Hurt by Nikki Sixx. It's amazing and really inspriring.
|
Finally finished The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It made a frightening amount of sense, and now I'm determined to read Atlas Shrugged before the movie trilogy is finished (even though Part 1 was apparently sh*t beyond belief).
Currently reading Sabbat Martyr by Dan Abnett. |
I'm reading Dead Beautiful. I can't get enough of supernatural books. Next I'm going to read Darren Shan's Ocean of Blood. His books are always good.
|
I'm reading on two different books right now.
The Alchemist (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott & The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. About halfway through The Lucky One, and so far its pretty good. Very classic Nicholas Sparks though (I.E: Guy who's been in the military and girl living in the south) but still pretty good so far. And this is my second time reading The Alchemist, I'm rereading it before I start reading the next one in the series that I bought a couple months ago. They are pretty good also, but complicated if you aren't paying attention. |
Confessions of a GP - Benjamin Daniels.
|
I'm reading 'Codependent No More' by Melody Beattie
|
Finished Sabbat Martyr by Dan Abnett. Pretty damn good, for a cheap, guts-n-glory sci-fi war novel. Very sad ending.
Currently reading the second-most influential and controversial book ever written (second only to the Bible), Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I loved The Fountainhead much more than I expected to, so I have high hopes for this book. It's well over 1000 pages long and weighs as much as a midsize car, so we'll see how long it takes to get through it. |
It's Your Time You're Wasting - Frank Chalk.
|
finally reading the fry chronicles after getting it for my birthday :)
|
Finished reading The Grapes of Wrath, which took a while to get into but the characters developed well and the story was intense. Now reading Watchmen, which so far is waaay superior to the film.
|

I'm rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix once again :D |
Just finished The Posion Garden by Sarah Singleton, starting Tithe by Holly Black now.
|
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
& The Great Gatsby :) |
I'm reading the book thief (half way through and is getting a little draggy)
Red riding hood (havent seen the film but book isnt up to much) and Grimms fairytales (love love love the grimms fairytales). I'm reading other ones (my attention span is crap atm) but cant remember their names right now. |
just finished reading a book called Feed last night, not your average zombie book, very interesting and chock full of adventure and some scary moments.. there's a conspiracy too...
|
Just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and moved onto The Girl Who Played With Fire.
Good book overall, but there were a few things that irritated me. Mainly that the main character, Mikael Blomkvist is kind of a Mary Sue. He just seems to be good at everything and every woman wants to sleep with him. Unrealistic! And secondly (and maybe it's just because I'm a something of a tattoo snob), for being such an 'alternative' and 'different' person, Lisbeth Salander has the MOST STEREOTYPICAL TATTOOS EVER. A dragon, a rose, and a chinese kanji? Really? It's one of those details that makes you remember that the author was a middle aged man with limited understanding of what alternative subculture is really like. But enough complaining. It's still a pretty good book. |
The Analyst - John Katzenbach.
|
Im reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte....out of choice too. I love the old classics. I recently finished Waterland, I havent a clue who its by but it was recommended by my english teacher. I throughly enjoyed it.

13 reasons why by jay asher
|
Monket, I completely agree with you on the stereotypical tattoos front. I haven't read the book but you couldn't really get more stereotypical than that apart from having a "mum" tattoo really but even then, that's more chavvy.
|
I havent finished it yet but i'm in the middle of Angelology by Danielle Trussoni, its a bit odd and not usually the sort of thing i read but its quite good!! Its slightly confusing at the start though and a little hard to get into but when you do its brilliant!!
I also just finished Plain Truth by Jodi piccoult :) |
Just finished Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. now reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
