Finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King this morning. Although my complaints about it still stand, I liked it. Even though the protagonist was far too mature, intelligent and level-headed for someone of her age and in her situation, King still did a good job of making her believable, just enough so you empathise with her and want her to be rescued. The ending was pretty sweet too.
I haven't decided what I'm going to read next... maybe Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Just started Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I haven't finished the introduction yet but so far I'm enjoying it. This book actually seems to have a sense of humour (albeit a very dark one), something that I've never noticed in any other Dostoevsky book I've read so far.
Just finished Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (the first one) and now reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and Kafka on the Shore by Murakami.
I just read "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vezzini. It was excellent. It deals with depression, but with a very uplifting and sometimes funny tone. I could relate to it and I'm sure many here could too. It's a movie now as well and Zach Gilafinakis(sp?)(from the hangover, lol). Definitely one you can't put down. :)
I'm currently reading 'The legend of Drizzt book 1 - Homeland' by R. A. Salvatore. I'm going to read the second book after this one and then I want to finish my book about BPD.

Im trying to read Midnight's children by Salman Rushdie.. heard its good by a few people but finding it hard to get into, but determined to stick at it a little longer.
