I just started Night Shift by Stephen King last night, and I'm already loving it.

Beccapixie10 10th Jul 2011 4:49 AM

Finished Chasers by James Phelan (was fantastic, albeit depressing, until the second last sentence; which was the most horrible, book-ruining run on sentence that could ever exist.) and Flash Flood by Chris Ryan early this morning. Now I'm reading City Of Masks by Mary Hoffman. It's actually quite good, for a school-assigned book.

Just finished Chronicle of a Death Foretold, by Gabriel García Márquez. I just picked it up and when it ended it was like a slap in the face. I could read thousands and thousands of pages by him and it still wouldn't be enough.

Rabid 15th Jul 2011 7:16 PM

I always feel that way about Garcia Marquez's prose, minus. It's so lush and dense. I could just wrap myself up in it like a coat.

I'm reading Bright Lights, Big City, by Jay McInerney and Moon Crossing Bridge, by Tess Gallagher.

daluved1 22nd Jul 2011 10:30 PM

I just finished Alex Sanchez's Boyfriends With Girlfriends. It's really, really reeeeaaallly good. Especially if you're into gay teen fiction novels.

Rawra 23rd Jul 2011 9:34 AM

Still "Forbidden Forest", by MIrcea Eliade. I didn't have much time for reading lately, so I didn't get around it too often.

Dedal's House by Kai Meyer. I translated it the best I can because apparently there's no english translation of this book,only German,Croatian and Spanish! The original German title: Das Haus des Dedalus. I still haven't finished reading,but the book is simply amazing.

Sudsy173 17th Aug 2011 5:16 AM

@Hannah: i just finished it for the second time, and I love that book! Why don't you like it? I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm just curious.
Just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, I loved it! Very unique, I've never read anything like it ( which is saying a lot)

jessica x gore 18th Aug 2011 1:05 AM

Right now I'm reading the 5th book of the Psy-Changelings series by Nalini Singh. They are really good so far. My favorite books are probably the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole. I read a lot of paranormal romance books, obviously.

Amy96 24th Aug 2011 1:14 PM

I've got a book refer in June so I used it and bought some books... One is a Gary Chapman-book about the 5 love languages of the teenagers, the second is a book which helps with changing lifestyle to get slimmer (I hope it'll work... I'm fat), and two are half written in my language, and half written in English, so they can help with learning. I can't choose which to begin now, but maybe I'll just have time later, I don't want their story to be mixed with the book I had to read for school.

I bought the second book today. I found the first one kind of.. um.. interesting? The fact that she falls in love with her brother kind of creeped me out. But apart from that it's alright.

Heehee. Sounds like me with the Twilight Saga. It's better that way. You never know when someone thinks they know more than you and they don't.

And I just found some new series that were on sale. Samantha Moon?

lethifold 31st Dec 2011 6:33 AM

It by Stephen King. I love his stories, but his writing makes me want to put his books down immediately sometimes. Really, even though it is quite a complex, non-chronological story, the book shouldn't be 1376 pages long.

Rabid 31st Dec 2011 4:53 PM

Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys, and re-reading the greatest play of the contemporary era, Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.

TheScribbler 5th Jan 2012 5:21 PM

Spitfire Girl by Lily Baxter. My local library has been closed for ages as it's relocating to a bigger building and I'm kind of bored with all the Vampire/Werewolf/Angel/Demon themed Teen books that there are so many of lately. So I decided to pick a random book from the adult section in a sale and it's pretty good! Makes a change from all of the fantasy books I usually devour daily lol.

Well, as soon as I find "Brisinger", I'll be reading that. I think it's somewhere in the cluttered land that is my bookshelf

Amy96 15th Jan 2012 2:38 PM

I'm reading an unique and interesting book. It's about a girl's lifestory who had cancer and unfortunately died. She made a blog to help those people who are in a similar situation. The book is written by her mother. Really touching story.

This - I'm not a sci-fi fan either but I thought I'd give it another go seeing as it didn't cost anything to download it on to my Kindle.

Also, the fifth book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, The Fiery Cross. I've lost track of how many times I've read these books, they are seriously amazing.

Yeah, the main character's Katherine, I don't mind her so far though. Actually, I don't like the past version of her in the kind of flashbacks to Melbourne, but I like the Sydney version of her. Alice, the kind of insane girl she becomes friends with, really goddamn irks me though. Probably because she reminds me of someone I know who I really don't like, but also she's just so ridiculously vicious and doesn't even appear to realise it. I don't know, normally I like that kind of character, but I feel like jumping through the pages and ripping her head off half the time I'm reading it. xD

Phoeberg 29th May 2012 6:29 PM

The War of the Worlds wasn't as bad as I was anticipating.

I'm going to try The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton next. I enjoyed Ethan Frome, so hopefully I'll like this one too.
