Reading Iron Ties (A Silver Rush Mysteries) by Anne Park. Very well done. Its set in 1880s Colorado and the detective is a saloon owner named Inez Stannert.
Wow I began to read William Gibson's Neuromancer and I don't know if its because of my physical state at my reading time or not, but I'm finding it a kind of hard/complex lecture, even being a computer scientist and science fiction lover. I'll search for some comments over it's elements of linguistics, narration, and general literary behavior. Before of Neuromancer, I was reading Jostein Gardeer's The Solitaire Mistery, which showed me what a really good lecture can be. Maybe I got used to it's nice format and now I find myself being demanding over Neuromancer's. Also I have to admit that I'm shamefully not a big time reader, and maybe I am not adjusted to the many possibilities of writings... or maybe I'm too high to think about it.
I have just finished reading Stephen Kings new book Full Dark No Stars but have just heard he has released another book out. He truly has a great mind to just keep writing and releasing as many books as he has. I am a collector of his work. I have also read some true story but in the same week A child called IT was very disturbing and a few others.
the thief by megan whalen turner. i loved it six years ago, but maybe it was just a good year for me.
I've got a number of books on the go right now, all for university, but the last two books outside my course that I finished were Lord of the Flies and Howl, Kaddish and other Poems by Allen Ginsberg. Read them last week.
How We Are Hungry by Dave Eggers, then The Siege by Helen Dunmore, and Moral Disorder by Margaret Atwood. Hoping to read these all this week but that might be a bit ambitious considering the amount of work I need to do.
John Steinbeck's East of Eden. I read it about 25 years ago, and it's as wonderful the second time through.
my kindle is giving me reading ADD lol...i dont know what to read first so...i'm reading the historian, storm watch (jim bitcher),the last days joel c rosenberg,and let the right one in lindqvist
Fingersmith is pretty good, I think. It was really interesting with the two POVs and the fact that the characters completely got each other wrong. I'll admit I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending... I'm reading Pale Fire by Nabokov- I think it's really intelligent and intriguing!
I've heard Fingersmith is kind of unsatisfying compared to Waters' other works, which I'm a big fan of. My friend said the two POV's made it feel like she was reading the same old story twice...I'm justing hoping I see differently.
I'm reading a U.S. History textbook and about 2,000,000 college recruitment ads. Now THIS is light reading. >.< I did just finish "In the Lake of the Woods" by Tim O'Brien, though. Great writing, and interesting use of a non-linear format. And I think it's the first book I remember that's based in Minnesota. :O
Oh my gosh, I love that series. Mostly because I can totally identify with the love of books expressed throughout it all. Still reading War and Peace, although I'm almost halfway done with it. Over 1,300 pages... this is the biggest book I've ever read, but it's really good. A lot better than I thought it would be, and it's managed to keep my attention over a span of almost 700 pages.
Reading Floating City by Eric Lustbader. I don't care much for his fantasy novels, but his other books are good. And the prologue to this novel is very intruging.
Reading Manhunt: The 12 Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer. Blow-by-blow, hour-by-hour account of the hours after Booth shot Lincoln and all that happened afterwards. I love it so far!
