Just finished Paulo Coehlo's 'Veronika decides to die', I thought it was wonderful going to hopefully find another one by him at the library. Although after searching through the favourite author thread i'm surprised that he's not mentioned.
I think _Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrel_ may be the best fantasy ever written. It's really that good. Although I must warn you that the first 300 pages are a little slow. Then it really takes off. You'll have to read the last 100 pages in one sitting.
I'm reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyer which is the second book of the Twilight Series and I'm almost done with it and will go on to the third book Eclipse. It's a pretty interesting story. Normally I wouldn't read a book on romance but it's also suspenseful because it's about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a vampire named Edward and the deeper she dives into the relationship the more dangerous it is for her to be around Edward and, yeah^^ It's a really good series and I recommended it to the romantics out there.
Im currently reading "From Dawn to Decadence," its a cultural history of the modern era, its pretty good so far, I would recommend it to anyone with and interest in modern European history
I just finished some random book I found called Carnivore by Leigh Clark. It actually wasn't that bad. As of now I'm in the middle of reading Stony Man: Hell Dawn. It's a spin off series of Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan character.
Right now I am reading Cursed Be the Child. It's a supernatural one and deals with a harsh subject in a different way, child abuse. It brings up the question, what would happen to an abused child who is killed by their abuser while full of hate and loathing? Then it brings up another question: What would happen if a family move into the home that the child died in with their own child? Well, this book answers it and so much more. It's a well written story, dry in parts, but it helps push the story forward. The end makes you think that there is a sequel or two out there. I haven't gotten around to finding out yet. :redface:
At the moment I am reading a non-fiction book called, "About Time, Einstein's Unfinished Revolution". Very interesting stuff. But I'm about to start a fantasy novel called, "Magician" by Raymond E. Feist. It's been recommended to me, by my auntie's boyfriend.
At the moment, I'm reading Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce. It's the fourth book in another Tortall quartet. It's fantasy and I find it enjoyable, but not quite as good as her Song of the Lioness quartet.
I am reading Pompeii by Robert Harris. If its Roman, I'll read it hehe. This turns out to be a great read.
I'm reading "The Color of Water" which is about a young black boy's search to find out who he is, and find out his white mother's history. His mtoher writes her own, tragic history within the story, about how her father had sexually abused her and forced her to work night and day in his shop, all while they lived in the deep south, and how she fell in love with another black man. It's pretty good, but the last thing I read, "The Qorld Accordig to Garp" by John Irving...THAT was amazing!
Finished New Moon and am about to go into Eclipse but I might also start the first Vampire Hunter D novel.
I just started Cat's Cradle yesterday, but I'm only 14 pages in so far, lol. I read for a few minutes yesterday and then set the book down. I didn't have a chance to continue all day, and by now I'm too tired to read anything other than stuff on the net. I'll read some more tomorrow.
I'm currently caught up in two books, both fantasy novels. One is "The Dark Mirror" by Juliet Marillier (one of my fave authors). The other is "The Innocent Mage" (and the author's name escapes me). *Sheepish grin* I'm enjoying both immensely.
I finished Robert Harris' Pompeii last night, I couldnt put it down! It was 11:30 pm with 100 pages to go and I finished it that night, or should I say this morning hehe Now I have to read Robert Harris' Imperium and then Conn Igguldens last book in the Emporer series
At the moment I’m reading Crime and Punishment. It’s ... deeply disturbing, although as it’s from the point of view of a madman, that’s hardly surprising.
The Husband - Dean Koontz. I think it is a brilliant book. It displays many genres. Love, Thriller, Mystery, Psychological! I suggest you read it!
Alan Dean Foster's Codgerspace. Really fun book to read. The Toasters are coming! The Toasters are coming!
I have been on a Jodi Piccoult kick lately. I just finished her newest book Change of Heart and am currently reading Songs of the Humpback Whales. So far it's a good page turner, but not in the same way her other books have been. If you're a Piccoult fan and know how she writes (dramas packed with law innuendos and facts that always have a twist for the end) then reading this book wouldn't be a good idea because it's similar to a standard romance novel, and you'd be disappointed with her. I kind of am . Hopefully it'll get better!
