Just finished Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Its just brilliance, its one book I can safely say I'll never forget. The author's power to convey scent through words is amazing, and the book never loses pace but keeps you gripped to the end. It took me a while to get into it though, just because the protagonist is so inhuman that its pretty hard to feel anything for him at first, but then after watching the film last night I'm so much gladder its that way. They make him far too sympathetic and hollywood. Started Frankenstein a few days ago. I'm learning to love the writing style, although its quite different from the books I usually go for, a lot flouncier, which usually irritates me, but it still flows reasonably well. |
That's definitely something I want to read, Linds. Thanks :) And and 1984 is one of my favourite books too.
Athiri, that's something on my bookshelf that I'm waiting to read! I've just finished The Help and I'm now starting on Cormac McArthy's The Road. |
False Memory - Dean Koontz.
|
The Corrections - Jonathon Franzen
I'm still ploughing through the pile of books I got for my birthday back in September! This is a good book, if slightly unrealistic. But I'm finding it hard to read because it is essentially about dsyfunctional families and does obliquly refer to self harm and depression and things which are hard to read about and many of the family are manipulative and remind me of my family in a lot of ways. |
I've given up on Dean Koontz already, didn't fancy reading it at the moment.
Now reading Medicine Balls - Phil Hammond. |
clockwork angel by cassandra clare... finally :D
|
I just read "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro, an amazing read.
Now halfway through "Her Fearful Symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger. |

I enjoyed it; it was a nice easy read, nothing too challenging and it's not novel brilliance but it's certainly pleasurable to read! Finished The Road yesterday, I'm now starting The Other Hand... I have no idea what it's about yet, and it really doesn't say anything on the blurb... But I think I'm enjoying it. |

A Day Called Hope - Gareth O'Callaghan.
|
Just started reading 'Not Without My Sister' by Celeste, Kristina and Juliana
|
The last book I read was Fallout by Ellen Hopkins. It was really, really good. That author is an absolutely, amazing writer.
The book I'm reading now is one of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. This one is called Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: The Real Deal. |
Finished The Other Hand. It was very, very moving. Regret reading it at work now!
I'm now reading a Kathy Reichs/Bones book. I love Bones as a TV show, so feel as though I should get some idea of it's roots,haha. |
Read Harry Potter 3 :). Win.
About to read 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' when it finally comes through from Amazon. Oh, also just read 'Skin' by Adrienne Vrettos. |
Have a lot on the go atm, damn you late library closing times. So i'll throw in Stephen King - Desperation, 90's King is gradually becoming as deranged as 80's lol. A collection of poems about the moon, some Goosebumps and Kraken by China Mieville.

Textbooks.
Maybe by next week I can start reading for fun again? |
In the middle of reading Vampire Diaries The Return : Shadow Souls.
It's not as good as the first few. I'm finding it pretty slow, in my opinion nothing very exciting has happened yet and I'm just over 15 chapters in. |
At the moment I'm reading:
Poppy Shakespeare More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea Kiss Me Judas Harry Potter 6 Emilie Autumn's Autobiography Pig Heart Boy And I've just finished: Girl, Interrupted Blood, Sweat and Tea In Stitches Moab is my Washpot Got to start soon: Mrs Fry's Diary Dead Men Walking The Fry Chronicles Gears of War (comic book) Yes I have alot of books on the go at once, I get bored otherwise... |
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but in Finnish to help me practice.
Makes absolutely no sense to me at all... |
Ghostgirl : homecoming: I liked the first one much better...
Vampire Kisses 3 : Vampireville : I liked them much better then Twilight...e_O seems more real. Emily the Strange : stranger and stranger: Really good, funny, easy read. |
