I actually just finished Flatland. It's really interesting, but very different. I highly recommend it to all those who enjoy a slow read that makes you think.

Now I'm on to Light of the Moon by Lauanne Rice. It's pretty good so far. My inner-editor refuses to go away, so I keep finding flaws, but her style makes up for the constant pronouns at the beginning of sentences, lack of descriptions, and continuous flashbacks.

At the moment? "Marie Antoinette: The Journey", Antonia Frazer. I'm about two thirds through, and I'd give it five stars on five. Also, "Wuthering Heights", and I'm reading on and off Lilith Saintcrow's Danny Valentine series.

BRADBURY STORIES by Ray Bradbury, of course. God, the man is too brilliant for words. I've already read a lot of the stories within the book, but some of them are new to me.

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray :)!

I've been waiting forever to read it, it will be the longest book I have ever read being 819 pages long.
"Show us, don't tell us!" They say, but sadly I realize I'm a storyteller. When I cross over and accept maturity, when I want to change then maybe I'll be willing to show people my prose and not tell them. As a writer I have to grow. :)

I'm reading, "The body of Christopher Creed." It's for my Developmental Reading class, and it's a group project, so.. yes. It's alright so far, I suppose.

I want to read the Host so badly!!
Got YWS?

Wave Without a Shore by C.J. Cherryh. Because it is sheer and unadulterated perfection. Also, Our Religions, as edited by Arvind Sharma. And still beating Umberto Eco to death with The Name of the Rose. Or rather, he's beating me. Violently. With a blunt object.

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I've only just started but I've seen enough to see that it's very, very good and beautiful.

I'm about to start The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene, hopefully it won't be too religious for my liking.

I'm reading Dead Famous by Ben Elton. Big Brother is back on TV *groan* so it's quite appropriate. :wink:

Right now I'm reading Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
True love, in all it’s celestial charm, and
star-crossed ways, only exist in a writer’s
mind, for humans have not yet learned
how to manifest it.

Right now? Catcher in the Rye. Good book, but I hate Holden.
