I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. Ahhhhh! So fantastic!
And now I'm onto
Postcards from No Man's Land by Aidan Chambers. So far it's pretty good - I'm expecting it to stay that way, because I've read a book of his before and it was fantastic.

"Crazy Horse: Strange Man of the Oglalas" by Mari Sandoz

very informative into the history of his life, a good read

============================
Monday: "Threshold" by Flint/Spoor

and checked out "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" today...

I just finished reading the last of the Chaos Walking trilogy, and I was blown away. I cried. Again. Just something about this series of books is uncannily adept at drawing out embarassing, messy bouts of tears from me. The trilogy is probably my favourite books ever, and I don't say that lightly. As someone who reads a lot, reading being a passion of mine since I was a little child, it's hard to pick favourites. But I don't know. I was just blown away.

I can't recommend the books enough.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (before I watch the film, for some reason I never got round to it), the only portrayal I've seen is Stuart Townsend's Gray in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, also a quite ancient copy of Graham Masterton's 'Family Portrait', thoroughly graphic in its descriptions. And more than gruesome enough. Love it.

Going through Jurassic Park. The book is quite a bit different from the movie, as should be expected. It's very interesting to see how the movie makers managed to condense the book into two hours. A lot of the story in the movie had to be implied.

finished "The Girl with..." book

reading some of the "Fables" series... quite good, really... IMO

"Crusty muppet"? Lol. P:

Well... I've semi given up on The Magus by John Fowles. It was one of those books where you feel like you've read a hundred pages when you've actually read five. Bleh.

So I started The New Road by Neil Munro, which looks like it's going to be a bit more bearable.

"The Girl Who Played With Fire" #2 in the series by Stieg Larsson

edit... it was such a good book that I spent most of Sunday reading it, all the way up to 2:30 AM. a surprise ending... Can't wait until I get ahold of vol 3...
----------------------------------
I finished reading the 'Fables' books in our library. Book #13 was NOT an enjoyable read. Too convoluted and mixed up, IMHO

In English, so it's a little hard for me, but it's very funny written and a pleasure to read this BEAUTIFUL story, I hope it comes close to the greatness of the Ghibli movie

Ooh, I loved the HMC book when I read it!

I am reading 'All we Know of Love' by Nora Raleigh Baskin. And so far, it's really really good. At first I thought it was going to be ordinary angsty-teen stupid stuff, but it wasn't. XD

@ Yay, Kiki!: Yeah I like it so far Can't stop reading

Just finished "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I can see why it got the Pulitzer Prize, it was very thought-provoking and poignant, and totally worth reading. I liked how the language was so simple and how it's one continuous story, with no chapter division. I guess I gotta check out the movie soon, too.

If Cormac McCarthy has written a book with simple language he has certainly changed his style! I've read Blood Meridian and Suttree and both were fantastic novels, but I can't say the language struck me as simple.

"The neap mud along the shore lies ribbed and slick like the cavernous flitch of some beast hugely foundered and beyond the country rolls away to the south and the mountains. Where hunters and woodcutters once slept in their boots by the dying light of their thousand fires and went on, old teutonic forebears with eyes incandesced by the visionary light of a massive rapacity, wave on wave of the violent and the insane, their brains stoked with spoorless analogues of all that was, lean aryans with their abrogate semitic chapbook reenacting the dramas and parables therein and mindless and pale with a longing that nothing save dark's total restitution could appease."
- sample passage from Suttree

So is The Road easier reading, would you say?
