Just started 'P.S I Love You' by Cecilia Ahern. Not as great as it was hyped up to be.
Sanity is for the unimaginative.

Got YWS?

Firestarter, is Pratchett good? I've heard he is.

Now reading both Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller.

Yay for classic literature and modern coolness.

I'd say he is. If you like witty, clever, sarcastic yet random humour, then he's great. I can, however, see how some people could find him a little too random. Just read him and find out.
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Levin is wonderful. ^_^

Reading Perpetual Motion: The Public and Private Lives of Rudolph Nureyev by Otis Stuart. I tried to get the version by Julie Kavanagh, but hey - you've gotta take what you can get, and I imagine that Nureyev was just as brilliant and arrogant no matter which biography you read.

I'm reading The Hobbit.

I'm onlt two chapter in, but it's really strange. I'll probably finish it, but it's not all that great.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*

I just finished reading: Blood and Chocolate. It was horrible. I thought it would be all sweet and romantic, but I don't think it is. It was also a little slutty too. Oh, and too many cuss words and graphic scenes.

I want to read the Twilight series again by Stephanie Meyer. I've read Twilight and it was VERY VERY VERY VERY good.
It's the very witching time of night.

And did you enjoy it?

Atonement by Ian McEwan. It makes me wish the movie was still at the cinema so I could see it on a real large screen once I finish, but, alas! Reading this is a lot better than Paint it Black by Fitch. XD I couldn't stand it enough, I just put it away and marked it as "Later or Never".

Monster Nation by David Wellington, got the trilogy for Christmas and I'm on the second book. It's great and I would recommend it.

I was reading Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, very slowly...but last night, I saw The Golden Compass, fell in love, and had a $25.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble to spend. So my dad ended up taking me to Barnes and Noble. I almost bought just The Golden Compass, but then I saw the three-in-one book, so I bought that instead. I haven't started reading it but I'm very excited to do so, on my break when I'm at work.

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
— JRR Tolkien
