Well, I thought at we had a "What are you listening to?" thread, and we're a writing forum, we should at least have a reading equivalent. I'm reading Rubicon , The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic by Tom Holland

"Vincent Price: The Art of Fear" by Denis Meikle. It's research for a story I'm going to be writing.

I'm not even angry... I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me... And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.

Just realized.. I wasn't reading Angel on the Square (although I read the first chapter). I'm reading An Acquaintance with Darkness. It's pretty good so far.. and that's excellent coming from me, because I tend to not like historical fiction.

So far, so good.

I'm rereading Finding Her Home, Love Inspired romance novel, by Carol Steward right now. I love Christian romance novels. I'm starting to get annoyed though because although her main character is Hispanic, the name doesn't sound like it, and a bunch of other reasons.

I'm going to read Lone Star Secret, Love Inspired romance, by Lenora Worth then Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter. Not sure which one to read first, though; I just got them today.

Finished "The Road," by Cormac McCarthy, and Bob Dylan's autobiography "Chronicles Volume One". Also read "From Hell," by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell.

Next up is "Filth," by Irvine Welsh and "The Feast of the Goat," by Mario Vargas Llosa.

I am reading the last book (the title escapes me at the moment; I'm quite tired) in Conn Iggulden's Gates of Rome series and the Best New Horror Anthology (2003). I picked the last up in a bargain bookstore and its proved to be pretty good so far.

Aside from that, I've either just begun or promised myself that I would begin and finish a wide variety of novels including, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Frankenstein, Moby Dick, Alice in Wonderland, Darkly Dreaming Dexter among others...

Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. It's great. If you've never read Vonnegut, you need to.

Sgt: Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.
