Fallen,I got it yesterday
|
Don't talk to me about reading. I have to read Lord of the Flies for school. Eh.
|
^God, I hated that book. I have great reverence for the classics and enjoy many that others do not, but other than its use of allegory (and even that was rather heavy-handed and simplistic), Lord of the Flies was utterly unredeemable, for me.
I'm reading Bright Lights, Big City, by Jay McInerney, and The Ground Beneath Her Feet, by Salman Rushdie. |
Alex & Me by Irene Pepperidge. Really fascinating. I of course knew of Alex, but I certainly didn't know the extent of his abilities. The fact that he clearly understood the concept and function of the word "no" is quite amazing.

I have just finished reading 'The secret dreamworld of a shopaholic', by Sophie Kinsella. I loved it <3.
I'm now reading 'Riders' by Jilly Cooper ![]() |
I found a rather large collection of Julio Cortázar's short stories in the attic, so I'm reading those right now. The Pursuer left me speechless.
|
'What Happened To Lani Garver' by Carol Plum Ucci.
|
Crush, by Richard Siken and Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie Dillard. Holy shit, this woman can write.
|
Billiards at Half-past Nine, by Heinrich Böll. It's incredible.
|
1984, by George Orwell, and Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, both for a school project. And How I Live Now, by Meg Rosoff, just for fun.

Velocity by Dean Koontz. And before that I read False Memory by Dean Koontz. I love the the man's books and I'm not afraid to admit it. His best one in Watchers though.
|
Halflife, by Meghan O'Rourke and rereading the exquisite Le Petit Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I'm also itching to get my hands on Nicole Krauss' Great House and David Sedaris' Squirrel Seeking Chipmunk.
Why I love David Sedaris: "He took a sip of my father's weak coffee and spit it back into the mug. 'This shit's like making love in a canoe,' he said. 'Excuse me?' my father said. 'It's fucking near water!'" |
"The book thief" by Markus Zusak.
|
Looking for Alaska
|
The Waves, by Virginia Woolf.
|
I recently finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, and now I'm flipping through Book of Longing, by Leonard Cohen.
|
An American Childhood, by Annie Dillard and Great House, by Nicole Krauss. I never thought that Krauss would be able to top herself after The History of Love, but was I ever wrong. I hope that Great House wins the National Book Award for which it was nominated.

OK! I read a half-dozen or so books a month so this one is EASY!!
Emissary of the Doomed by Ronald Florence From So Simple A Beginning (The 4 major books of Darwin) by Edward O Wilson Himmler's Crusade by Christopher Hale The Mind & The Brain (Neuroplasticity & The Power of Mental Force) by Jeffry M. Schwartz, MD & Sharon Begley |

The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, by Heinrich Böll.

Jane Eyre By Charlotte Brontë, The other Boleyn girl by Philippa Gregory and The Medici seal by Theresa Breslin. I've got three other large Philippa Gregory novels waiting for me so I really gotta finish these books lol.

I just finished reading both, they are so trippy but with really abrupt endings in my opinion. I'm re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-(exponent x 132901 here)-reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. I'm on The Ghoul In Pajamas so far. For school I have to read - you guessed it - Deathly Hallows anyways because we're exploring good vs. evil, and my new class (I transferred cos my English teacher hates me and I wasn't passing because it was so loud in there) is full of Potterheads. Which I think is amazing. <3 |
