Read a good book recently?

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. So moving.
Now I'm reading My Sister's Keeper by the same author.

 

I'm re-reading "The Solitaire Mystery" by Jostein Gaarder. Very nice.

 

Brave new world - Aldous Huxley.
Can not sing this books praises enough. I am in love with it.

 

Right now I'm in the middle of reading "The Girl Who Kicked the ######'s Nest" by Stieg Larson. It's the third in the series and they're all very fast-paced reads.

 

@Impractical...what is it that you enjoy so much about Brave New World? I read it and couldn't really seem to get into it.

I'm currently in love with Jodi Picoult; I'm at the point of compulsively buying her books. Just started Salem Falls today and I'm already hooked

 

Queen Of The Damned by Anne Rice. Its so good, I hate that she lost her marbles and started writing about Jesus -_-

 

dont worry, she abandoned christanity when she came to realize how screwed up the most vocal christians were, and she would rather have a relationship with god that was not built upon and bolstered by blatent hatred and ignorance.

 

i just finished Nature's Argonaut, a biography of daniel solander, by Ed Duyker. Very good read.

I'm about ½ of the way through Jane Eyre, by charlotte brontë. It's charming so far.

 

I usually read about four books at a time. I know that's weird, but I like to mix things up. I just finished reading the Circles series of comic books. They're a bit strange - a gay-themed anthro comic book with a PG-13 rating - the nudity is passing (and not frontal), and the sex scenes are subtle. Scan of the second-to-last page attached. I was excited to see that there was another volume in the works...but then read that the author and artist had abandoned the project, as they couldn't come up with a suitable continuation. So I guess they'll live in limbo in my imagination for awhile.

Also reading a book about a blues fanatic searching for old records in the deep South, a book on digital photography, and a book of weird obscure words.

In my American Liturature class we have to use that entire hour on Thursdays to read. I usually hate reading, but I'm reading this book called "Cast Away Kid". Holy shit. It is so good.

 

I just finished Pet Sematary by Stephen King and now I'm reading The Regulators by Richard Bachman (Stephen King)

 

Lex: I do that too. I never finish all of them though, and most of the time I forget what I was reading.

I finished reading an excellent book "Not Before Sundown" by Johanna Sinisalo, a Finnish science fiction novelist. It's about a gay photographer who, one drunk evening, finds a young troll (which are a real species in this book) near his apartment. It's a very clever story, and the author has a very interesting way of writing.

Now I'm trying to read Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" (not liking the Finnish translation though), Stephen Hawking's "The Universe in A Nutshell" and "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Foer.

 

Mrs. Dalloway.

OMG PLEASE Read "Under A War-Torn Sky"

 

Swan Song by Robert Mccammon; I love that book, along with The Wolf's Hour.

 

Logic of Life by an economist whose name escapes me. Really good read.

I am also reading Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse.

 

Hesse is so good! Except for maybe Steppenwolf. I was never able to really get into that one.

 

Candy is Dandy By Ogden Nash = Awesomeness!

 

<3

Too many books, srsly, and they're all for school =/
