Re-reading Night World 3 until I get something new for Christmas. If I finish before then, I'll probably re-read Eragon. Again.
|
Reading the Third book already in the Outlander series, this novels called "Voyager" and it's by Diana Gabaldon
|
"Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse.
|
Double-posting is fun.
"Expensive People" by Joyce Carol Oates. |
The High King, by Lloyd Alexander
|
"For the Relief of Unbearable Urges," by Nathan Englander, "A Passage to India," by E.M. Forster, and "The Age of Innocence," by Edith Wharton.
|
"Nightlight" (Twilight parody, not sure who the author is) it's extremely funny, and I'm beginning to question Twilight more and more now.
|
^^ MY GOD I LOVE THAT BOOK!
Me and my friends were reading it and laughing. And laughing. And laughing. My favourite bit is the "How did you know my name was Bella!?" part. |
I just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry," by Audrey Niffenegger, and now I'm on the hunt for something new. Until I find another novel, I'll just amuse myself with the work of John Keats, I suppose.
|
The last few pages of "The High King", by Lloyd Alexander. Anyone else read any of the Taran books?
|
Started the 6th book of that Outlander Series yesterday so am reading that now, this one's called A breat of snow and ashes and so far its absolutley brilliant as are the rest of the books

^^ What are the Taran books about?
|
^^Well, have you seen the Disney movie, The Black Cauldron? That is - albeit a stuffed up and extremely bad - adaption of the first two Taran books.
If you haven't, their official name is the Chronicles of Prydain. They're quite typical swords-and-sourcery, Lord of the Rings type fantasy that I would roll my eyes at, IF the author wasn't so good at fleshing out characters, making them original and different from every other fantasy novel out there *coughEragoncough*. The plotline spans over 6 books and focuses on the Assistant Pig-Keeper of a farm, Taran of Caer Dallben. Okay, prosy review over ![]() |

Going to start re-reading Eragon until I get my money back so I can buy new books.
|
^^ well i don't like lord of the rings at all, but it sounds like its worth checking out .. i'l have a look for it once i've finished the 6th and 7th books of the Outlander Series i'm reading
|
I bought a new book, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld but I haven't started reading it yet 'cause I should be given my Anthology for English soon. We're doing poetry.

"The House In The Mist" by Anna Katharine Green.
|
"The Yiddish Policemen's Union" and "Manhood for Amateurs," both by Michael Chabon.
|
Push by Sapphire.
|
An Echo in the Bone - Diana Gabaldon (7th book in the Outlander Series)
|
I'm re-reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," by Douglas Adams for about the millionth time, and occasionally I'll flip through my John Keats poems.
|
Still reading "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini.
Kinda boring >_> |
"The Bostonians," by Henry James and "Main Street," by Sinclair Lewis.
|
"Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini.
Okay, so I'm not really into Eragon. It's ridiculously cliched, yadda yadda, and I don't think it's worth all the hype around it. And Arya drives me around the bend up the wall crazy. But Mr. Paolini's skill in writing is definitely improving. I'm actually sensing atmosphere now. And my god. Roran and Katrina. :lovestruc Need I say any more? |
