"Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tokein; "The Hobbit"; biography on Thomas Jefferson; "Animal Farm" by George Orwell I want to get my hands on "House of Leaves" but it's currently checked out of the library [by someone else].
Recently finished the Hunger Games series. Moving on to "April 1865: The Month That Saved America" by Jay Winik. Good old historical nonfiction.
that it's good, and really creepy, and written in a nontraditional format (house is always in blue, you have to decipher things etc). That it involves a house with a labyrinth growing in it. Written as kind of a book within a documentary within a book.
Love that book! Well actually I just love that whole series, Cornelia Funke is my favorite author did you like the book/series? The hunger games is another fantastic series I'm reading Jane Eyre and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I'm reading two books simultaneously: Mistress of the Revolution and Armandell: Royal House of Heinrich. Both seem really good, but I'm half through the first and have barely touched the second.
Nightmare on Elm Street: Suffer the children. I loved Dreamspawn, so I hope this one can be at least as good.
I do like the series, I find myself despising many of the themes and characters in the book, and not agreeing at all with the lessons that are implied, but nonetheless I do thoroughly enjoy reading the books. I'm on page 300 in Inkdeath, so about half-way through.
Really? I definately thought that Inkheart was really good, and the others (especially Inkspell) were a million times better.
Interesting. I also thought Inkspell was the best out of the three (granted I haven't finished Inkdeath yet)-- I really don't like Dustfinger. Dustfinger is everyone's favorite character, but I can't stand him.
Finished the other books i listed earlier in the thread and just picked up a couple more this morning. The Silver Metal Lover and Metallic Love both by Tanith Lee. I've never been into robots and stuff like that, but the idea of these books made me want to try them out. Hopefully they are good!
The Maze Runner by James Dashner, I think it is pretty good so far. I really like those kinds of books that keep you wondering the whole time.
Just finished re-reading Deathly hallows in preparation for Part 2. Hated it the first time but after watching Part 1 (which I liked) and seeing the trailers for Part 2 (which looks awesome) became almost convinced that I may have been a little harsh with the my first assessment. I wasn't. It still sucks as much as I remembered it did. The first two thirds are drawn out and boring. The compression of events necessitated by a film adaption improved that part of the story no end. The third act is anticlimax after anticlimax, just as I remembered it. Lots of action scenes that will no doubt look great on screen but are lifeless and rushed on page. Facepalm inducing plot twists abound (the convenient fire monster that destroys Horcruxes and Ron and Hermione destroying the Horcrux off page and then telling Harry about it afterwards still annoy me no end). In the end it all comes down to Harry speaking exposition at Voldemort, Voldemort retorting with cliché evil villain lines and then Voldemort going down without a fight because Harry has the power of love. Spare me. I don't think I need to say anything about the epilogue. Moving on to the collected stories of HP Lovecraft. Hopefully this will live up to the hype.
