At the moment I am reading "Twiligh"t in English [I have already read it in German a few years ago].
Before that I read "Die Schmetterlingsinsel" by Corina Bomann.
I really loved that one and can only recommend it.

I'm almost done with Carlton Mellick III's 'Satan Burger'. It's a fantastic read. He's so bizzare, guess that's where the 'bizzaro genre' comes from.. But hilarious, not just random weird **** that makes no sense... It's science fiction-y, with some philosophical content as well.
But the plot basically.. is that God has turned his back on the world, heaven and hell are closed, and Satan has moved to Earth to open a burger shop in an effort to collect people's souls and therefore stay alive. The main characters are a bunch of skinheads and gutterpunks that still have their souls, unlike most of the human population remaining on Earth, who are wandering about practically undead, bored with life but still living.
At the moment I'm reading "As I Wake" by Elizabeth Scott. But I just finished "Memoirs of a Teenage Amsesiac" by Gabrielle Zevin. Also I recently read "Partial" by Dan Wells (it is amazing and I love it)
Sorry if I was only supposed to post one O_O
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. - 11th Doctor

I bought a kindle a couple of weeks ago and I can't put it down, I'm on my 4th book on there already and I'm a slow reader normally lol.
I read a book called Zombie Fallout, which is about... well, zombies lol. Its a good one though, I've read some zombie books which I thought were rubbish.
Next I read an idiot abroad, because it was 20p on kindle store and I loved the series :P
My favourite that I've read so far on there is 'a street cat named bob'. Its about how a guy and cat found each other, literally saved each other's lives. Its an amazing read, especially if you're a crazy cat lady like me lol.
I'm now reading 11.22.63 (although I keep wanting to call it 22.11.63 lol) by Stephen King, up to chapter 2, so far so good :D
I'm currently reading Frankenstein for AP english, and it's actually pretty good! I'm gonna sound like a total dork for saying this, but there are tons of cool literary devices Mary Shelley uses in there! :P

I'm reading "Liar" by Justine larbalestier. Very interesting. A young adult murderer mystery from the point of view of a teenaged pathological liar. But she swears she's telling us all the truth surrounding her boyfriends death. So its very interesting to read and see just what you believe. Who knows if the entire murder is made up?

Literally bought and started reading this yesterday, I'm really enjoying it :)
I love the way she wrote.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
I liked Frankenstein but the writing was occasionally a bit too flowery for me.
I've been reading lots lately. Read i know why the caged bird sings, Sherlock holmes, jungle book, and most recently started game of thrones which I'm enjoying much more than I expected!
Currently reading Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky with thanks to the videogame Metro 2033 which made me aware of this book. Post apocaalyptic Moscow where the survivors all live in the Moscow Metro due to a nuclear winter being up top
I'm about halfway through A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin, and I've also started reading Batman Unauthorised. It's a collection of essays about various things related to Batman, and it's actually very interesting.
I'm now on the fifh book of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin. The biggest problem with reading the books is to not actually say too much to the people who have only watched the tv program.

Right now I'm rereading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins as well as The Descent by Jeff Long
