What Are You Reading Now.

Hah! Good for you, dude.

It takes a real man to read the Sookie novels. Enjoy them, they're fun. I particularly love the character of Bubba...you'll soon learn why, hah.

 

The berlin novels by Christopher Isherwood

 

Just started "Finch" by Jeff Vandermeer.

 

How Not to Write a Novel. A bit counter-productive, but it's still a good read.

 

MANY. Mostly nonfiction histories and a few biographies.

 

Just picked up The Lime Twig by John Hawkes.

 

I just watched 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (with a fantastic cast) which was hilarious, I loved it. So along with what I'm already reading, I'm going to be reading a load of Oscar Wilde. I've always been meaning to, just never got round to it.

 

Currently rereading The Only Alien on the Planet by Kristen D. Randle.

Then I am probably going to reread the Dark Elf Trilogy.

 

I'm currently reading through my Stephen King Collection.. Insomniac, The Dark Tower, Green Mile, etc... It's about time I finished :3 I keep getting side tracked with other books.

 

Evolutionary Void comes out tomorrow. If i get told it isn't I'm going to turn green and go Hulk on the world.

 

I'm currently reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo just to see what the hype is all about.

 

I picked up the DemonWars saga, by R.A. Salvatore, recently. I'm probably 2/3rds through the second book, The Demon Spirit.

I like them so far, but I think I may have read too much of Salvatore now... I like his characters but a lot of them seem to be so very much the same. Especially whenever he has a character that is in love. The girl is always emotionally and physically strong and the guy always faces the dilemma that he wants to protect her but, by doing so, will destroy the women he loves somehow, so he trusts her to take care of herself.

 

'At the Back of the North Wind' by George MacDonald. Again. Nostalgia!

 

Finished it today, and really enjoyed it. Very well written, with good characters, and an engaging plot. Hopefully it will begin a new genre of fungus fantasy. And if that's piqued your interest, then take a look at the review on my external blog (link below).

 

I'm reading Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. Seems grear so far.

 

That book is great. I loved it.

 

I'm reading Ender's Shadow.

I read Mockingjay yesterday.

 

The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.

I find it difficult to avoid calling it "The Little Strangler" though. Still, it's going great.

 

I'm reading The MorganVille Vampire Series Book 7, by Rachel Caine and The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold.

Next line up is True Blood, and MorganVille Number 8 lol

Lol My name is Ashleigh too, spelled the same way.

 

"The Black Lung Captain" by Chris Wooding.

 

Ah, the best name, and the best spelling.

 

Yep, it's different and everyone gets thrown by it. It cracks me up how everyone tries to pronounce it like it's french. LMAO.

I've had folks pronounce it Ash-Jeleah, Ash-aleigh, etc. It's great. Heh.

 

Lmao, little kids always call me "Asha-leeeeeeee". Probably 'cause they just learnt about syllables and everything has to be said with rhythm, hah.

 

My niece calls he Asha-lee

and my two year old nephew calls me Atchy.
