I got Mark Z. Danielewski's House Of Leaves for christmas, so I think I'm going to definitely make my way to reading that straight after Crime And Punishment

Two amazing books. Let me know how you like House of Leaves, that's by far my favorite book. Close second: Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace.

Just read The Magicians, by Lev Grossman. Currently reading The Cider House Rules, by John Irving.

I finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult and Official Book Club Selection (Kathy Griffin's memoir). Both were an absolute delight; the latter was also hilarious and shocking.

And now I'm reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, followed by Year of the Flood (connected through characters from each book).

**Cold Kitten** · 12-27-2010, 06:52 PM

Hm.. Last book I read was probably All The Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren. It was a pretty good book. I like reading about politics. xD I never want to get involved in them though.

I'm currently reading Flowers In The Attic/Petals On The Wind by V.C. Andrews. Very good book. A bit odd though, if you ask me...

My favorite book would have to be Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Another fairly odd book. Any of his books are very good, in my opinion though. Love them all. [:

After months of being pestered by my ex, I finally read The Hunger Games.

It was actually pretty good. It had a few huge glaring flaws, but I'm able to overlook them because on the whole, it was a really enjoyable read. And I'm really looking forward to the second one.

**Cold Kitten** · 12-28-2010, 12:09 AM

That was a good series. I've read all of them. xD And own all of them.. Haha. The second was a slow read at first, but closer to the end it got REALLY good. The third was iffy. I liked it, but... Not nearly as much as the first two.

I'll definitely try to remember!

So far, it seems quite interesting - I'm not too far into the book, mind (around about the second chapter), but so far I'm really enjoying the enigmatic atmosphere the book has formed. It's definitely a challenging read, too. I'll share more of my opinion on the book as I continue to read it.

the year of magical thinking by joan didion

reaaaaalllyy ****ing good

Aldentron · 03-1-2011, 12:01 AM

The last book I finished was Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, it was pretty good in it's own right.
Right now I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, and its pretty go so far, but right now i'm about 3/4 into it and I'm starting to get impatient with it, it seems like it should have ended 2 chapters ago...

**Go_Oilers_Go** · 03-1-2011, 01:35 AM

Can't even remember. I believe it was the last book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The last published book so far, I should say.

**Cold Kitten** · 03-1-2011, 07:32 AM

Of Mice And Men. Just finished it yesterday. Fun stuff.

**kommisar** · 03-1-2011, 09:44 AM

non japanimation text book I've read was L'étranger by Albert Camus

who_cares973 · 03-1-2011, 09:56 AM

I'm pretty sure the last book I read was a demonology book. Can't remember the name of it though

**robertsona** · 03-1-2011, 02:35 PM

Reading Wuthering Heights for AP Lit right now.

Not really fond of it so far but seems applicable to a lot of possible prompts and essays.

Andrew Mitchell · 03-1-2011, 07:12 PM

The Argonian Account, Book 1

**Wyde** · 03-2-2011, 07:35 AM

Wuthering Heights would be the last book I read through, which was around December. I read quite little, even when given nice long opportunities to do so on train commutes to university. I had to study it for English class about 3 years ago and for some reason it since became one of my favourite reads. I read through a 700 biography about Michael Jackson before that.
