The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Fairly amusing, picked it up last night after my laptop overheated and killed itself [as per usual] so I may read some more tonight.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith.
You heard me right. Zombies.
After this, I might reread Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter and Robin Hood Versus the Plague Undead.

Currently reading The Science of Discworld II: The Globe by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen. The only SoD book I've not read yet.

The past couple of years I've been trying to re-read the entire Discworld series (including "The Science of" ones) in publication order "before the new one comes out." Since I started, two new ones have come out anyway. I was on Soul Music at the start of the year, so at this rate, I should manage it before Snuff is released.

Danse Macabre ( 6,6)

I'm currently reading Horus Rising, part of the Horus Heresy series of books based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

I'm a huge sci-fi buff and have read through Asimov to Clarke to Heinlein... Dan Abnett (the author of this book) isn't up there with the greats but it is a genuinely cintelating tale. It plots the course of the great human empire at the peak of it's ventures into space and then lets you ride the spiral into the decay ridden vestiges that make up current Warhammer 40k lore.

I'd give the book a 8/10 on the Blyton Scale & the author a 7/10.

My brother keeps pushing those in my direction. Tempting indeed.


Just picked up the Culture of Fear Revisted by Frank Furedi, lent to me by a housemate. So far its nothing new but I've been told it gets interesting as you get deeper. I've really only just started so I'll reserve my judgement. =]

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

i love the Iliad! read it like 3 times through! i am a fan of the classics.

right now i am reading The Diving Bell and The Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
the author had Locked-in Syndrome when he dictated his words for the book to an assistant, only communicating by blinking hie left eye lid, as it was all he had control over after having a massive stroke.

it is a very quick and easy read and definitely worth a read. I strongly recommend it!
