Right now I am reading the Hosue Of Night books :nice: I just started the second book. The first one was AWESOME! It´s got vampires, Hmm...It´s like Harry potter meets twilight :dozey: :lol:

Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. Its about an old man and im feeling kinda old when im reading this book, though im not. :angry:

have you read "beneath the wheel" yet?

I know, he's great. And i like psychological and intellectual novels. But its just not the right mood for that book right now. However im going to finish it.

And no, i havent read it. Should i? :)

Ive only read Narcissus and Goldmund. It was a really good book. :thumbsup:

^ yep. "beneath the wheel" is my favourite. :nice:, not a must, but a very nice one.

Ok, thanks, ill read it. ;)

Nothing...but im thinking of hitting the library this Friday.... :laugh3: I'm such a hypocrite...

i'll have to keep it in mind! dean koontz is an excellent writer!

 

i recently finished up "Godmother" by Carolyn Turgeon. its a twist on the cinderella story, and is a great quick-read :D

I'm reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith, for summer reading (I feel like a high schooler, having "summer reading" :lol:). I've only read about 10 pages or so, and it looks promising, but for some reason I procrastinate reading books I'm required to read, even if they're good :uhoh:.

 

I have a month to read these as well (once I stop procrastinating, it'll be easy):

-A History of London by A.N. Wilson

-Ms. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

-Trolius and Cressida by Shakespeare (I'm thinking of only *pretending* to read this one. I don't get along with Shakespeare, and I don't think we're going to do much with it in the course I'm taking--we're basically only required to read it because we're going to see the play in London).

The Frost by John Marsden

Bridget Jones's Diary - Helen Fielding, :lol:

I just started reading a book I got when I was in Australia, again.

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

 

Figure after reading 1421 by Gavin Menzies needed something light

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

Koontz

OMG I have to google this man, the way his surname is written is hilarious and surprising! :blush:

 

I'm reading Hospital by Toby Litt. :wacky:

The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoyevsky

Light? That Bill Bryson book is extremely intense, at least compared to his others!

 

I'm reading 'In Cold Blood', by Truman Capote. It's super creepy but super good so far.

also The Loop by Nicholas Evans. been reading it on and off for a year but now I cant put it down.

I'm reading 'Fahrenheit 451' By Ray Bradbury - I can't believe I haven't read this until now.
