![]() The last book that I read was Hunted by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast.
The book that I'm currently reading is Tempted by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast. (both books are part of the House of Night series) I don't have a single favorite book because I always try to read ones that will draw me in and hold my attention until the very end. Anything that I've read cover to cover (of my own choosing) was at one time my favorite.

The last book I fully read was Speaker for the Dead by O. S. Card, the follow up to Ender's Game. It's such a great book and one of my favs. I'm reading Xenocide right now and it's.....pretty good so far. My favorite book would probably be Koushen's Battle Royale. since 2007 I've read it almost 10 times. I think it would be better if it didnt have all the typos and translation issures that plagued it. I really do like the story of it alot. I was hoping Hunger Games would match it but I just didnt get into them the same way --- By the halfway point of Catching Fire I just realized I didnt care. Next in Line is a novel called Afterlife. I forgot who did it but it was one of Dean Koontz's students I believe. Looks good and since I found it for a dollar I just snagged it up. |

![]() the great gatsby; read it on a plane to china just 'cuz i felt i needed to. it was very good. that said, i felt like the sometimes absolutely gorgeous/exemplary writing style didn't really mesh, for me, with the story, which struck me as overly arbitrary. but whatever, good stuff.

![]() Just read a short story entitled Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald (aurhor of The Great Gatsby, which I have also read). It is an interesting story, has striking similarities to the life of Fitzgerald, but ends in a depressing mood. Dexter never got the girl.

![]() ...because it's the Easter holidays, I think I'm going to try and read Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho over the next two weeks. It's not a large book, so hopefully I can do it. :P

![]() Your Heart Belongs To Me by Dean Koontz. He's a damn good writer. Why I haven't read more of his books, I don't know. xD

Just finished reading J.D. Salinger's 9 Stories.. brilliant stories, "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" and "With Love and Squalor" were the better of the bunch though. Just starting up Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman |

![]() I've been dreadful while trying to read House Of Leaves - I've been caught up with college work most of the time, and when I eventually have time for reading, I'm usually on the internet or the PS1 playing Broken Sword, heh. I've got a week left away from college though, so in that time - as well as revision - I'm going to try and read more of it.

![]() Spur of the moment, decided to pick up Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I absolutely hated it, I have no clue how it won a Pulitzer. I felt absolutely nothing for either of the characters, and the story had no drive to it—it felt like a collection of 100 first paragraphs to a post-apoc novel. Really disappointing, I kept on waiting for it to get better, but it never happened. Though everyone I talked to said it was one of the most emotionally heart-ripping books they'd read. I guess I saw something different in it?

I just read Aaron Allston's book Backlash, and since he had a major heart attack and a quadruple bypass... it felt like he was in a hurry to get it finished before a deadline... But thankfully he's not dead and now he can keep writing... like a slave... and have som'more CHEESE'N FRIES! Hyuck! |

![]() I just finished reading A Streetcar Named Desire. I liked it. I really like books that act out as plays, and this book has a movie for it so I'll be watching it in class on Tuesday and compare/contrast both of them.
I just hate that the version of the book I have has a cover of a shirtless guy.

![]() Last book ive read was called "Never Let Me Go". I read it for english class a few years ago. Was about farming humans for organs or something, LOL.
My favorite book would have to be the hobbit. Read it in 5th grade and it was instantly a classic to me. Im also a fan of the dark elf novels. I guess im into medieval fantasy if im going to sit down and be entertained by a book ![]()

![]() I'm reading many books currently. Mainly The Dawn (Nietzsche) and Critique of Pure Reason (Kant).
Does it make me a cool person.
