I just finished 2 books by Jennie Shortridge. The first is called Riding With The Queen The second is called Eating Heaven I loved both of these books. I will be looking for more of her work the next time I'm at the bookstore.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Leiws I read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when I was 9 or 10, and I just found out recently there was a whole series 0.0 haha I was at the bookstore like, last year and I saw the collection and was like, where did all of these come from? Haha and then the movie for Prince Caspian came out and I was like, oh crap... But so far I absolutely love The Magician's Nephew and The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, and of course The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is my favorite. I always cry when the White Witch and her army bound Aslan and torture him. But right now I'm almost done with The Silver Chair, which I didn't particularly care for. I heard The Final Battle is amazing, which I'll probably start on tomorrow because I know I'll finish chapters 15 and 16 tonight. And look at me talking on and on, I sure do hope there's a Narnia thread on here! I'm just too lazy to look for it ^.^ and next I'm reading the Lord Of The Rings, my friend is letting me borrow all of the books. And I also got The Host by Stephenie Meyer, so anyone who is/have read it please tell me how it is.
'Prey' by Michael Crichtion. Its about a man who was a programmer for artificial intelagence programs. A company buys on of the programs called PREDPREY. It is a preditor/prey program. The program is used in a new nanotechnological hardware that sends millions of little cameras into peoples bloodstream to see whats wrong with them. The program go's haywire and starts attacking people. Thats all the farther i have gotten but its a good thriller. I love it.
Deception Point - Dan Brown. In short, it's rubbish. But I see Dan Brown as a Penny Dreadful writer. Simple pleasures for simple people. (And yes, I just laughed at myself )
Paradise Lost - John Milton A Game of Thrones - George Martin I'm really enjoying Paradise Lost, its my first contact with epic poetry and I instantly fell in love with it. A Game of Thrones is a really in-depth novel with small amounts of action. Now I don't really go for slow paced stories, but something about this book gripped me right from the start. I think it has something to do with how well Martin writes. Both are excellent and I would recommend them to anyone.
Gatty's tale by Kevin Crossley-Holland I'm supposed to be finishing this by Thursday, as it's the last carnegie book i have to read. It's not a bad book, but it's not exactly gripping. (So far...)
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I got it as a present for a friend, but I couldn't help rereading before I gave it to her. =P
Wasting Police Time - PC Copperfield. Having been wanting to join Her Majesty's Police Service since I was six, I wanted to find out what life in the Police Force is like from an officer's point of view... It's witty, engrossing and slightly disturbing... Truly worth the money.
At the moment, I am reading this book which is apparently the last in the series of the Emma Harte dynasty or something along those lines. It is so boring, you can tell my Granddad bought it for me.
Right now, I'm reading 1984, mainly because...believe it or not, I've never read it before. :redface: It's very thought provoking.
The post above mine. Alright, alright, I know what you meant... Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis It's the one on my shelf that looked most interesting. Almost all the other books are little kid books or books that would only interest my mom. I think my brother has Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy around here somewhere. I'll have to dig that one out.
Reading London Fields by Martin Amis. This book is all about it's characters who fit so pefectly together. I have not finished so spoilers. I like the way Amis will play around with the order of events, revisiting them from different characters points of view and making the reader feel well informed. I also enjoy the writing himself withing the book giving you the sense of being within and outside the story much like him. Those are my thoughts anyway
I love P.G. Wodehouse! (Of course, I'm also madly in love with Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster in the TV series, so that helps.)
