Ernest Hemingway - The Collected Short Stories
Interesting, more of his style of writing than the content, although that said the content is incredibly well-written.
Hey baby, give it a try

Hahex and Oshawott

just finished "Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye", by Alison Goodman.

Stalls and fairs are a great place to find interesting books for cheap prices :D


Mulholland

I'm currently reading A Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich.

It's really interesting, may read it to my kids one day :)

Completelyrandom: Singing your praises in relative phrases

The Fires of Heaven-Book five of the Wheel of time series-Robert Jourdan

One hundred percent awesome...If not a long series.

Next in line: The Burning Wire-Jeffery Deaver

Darkphoenix

The Call of Cthulhu & Other Weird Stories - HP Lovecraft
Fairy Tales - Hans Christian Anderson

I've also bought 'Les Fleurs du Mal' by Charles Baudelaire, which I'm only occasionally reading at the moment.

Enigma

I've just finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruin Zafon. Absolutely amazing author, he's moved quite high in my opinion of him. I read The Angel's Game first, which was amazing, and I also read The Prince of Mist; however, this last book was written when he was much younger, and for children, and feels like a crappy fanfic compared to his full blown novels. It's still pretty good, but there are themes from Prince of Mist that are prevelant in the other two books, the latter of which are set in mid-1900 Barcelona. They're kind of related, set in the same place with a few characters that are in both books, but they're gripping, and beautiful to read. I love his sky imagery. <3

That Girl in the 'Roo Suit

I finished reading The Osiris Ritual by George Mann last night. Amazing read, much better than I expected from what appears to be a cheesy Murder Mystery judging by the cover. I want moreeee...

I'm now reading Grimm's Fairytales. I read 26 last night, another.. lot more.. to go :D

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 started reading Stace's copy of Breaking Dawn last night, figured I should read it while I was here. Up to chapter 3 now.

"i hope you get niall bursting out of a tower cake singing "happy birthday mr president" and he's wearing a "miss america 2013" sash while giving you a 3 hour lapdance"

I'm reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold at the moment. I didn't really like it at first, but I'm enjoying reading it now that I've got into it more.

Next I have Double Cross by Malorie Blackman to read, followed by Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, and then Shopaholic Abroad by Sophie Kinsella =]

I've just read a load of books whilst on holiday:
- The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - didn't like it at first, but in the end I really enjoyed it
- The Dead Girl's Dance by Rachel Caine - 2nd book in this series which I'm also enjoying (I think there's 8 books out so far, so I have many more to read =])
- The Harper Connelly series by Charlaine Harris (Grave Sight, Grave Surprise and An Ice Cold Grave) - I hadn't read any Charlaine Harris before, but I loved these books. Couldn't put them down, and I need to get the 4th one. Will be moving onto the True Blood series soon, followed by other books she's written.

Now I'm reading Midnight Alley by Rachel Caine, the next in her Morganville Vampires series that I've been reading. Then Shopaholic Abroad by Sophie Kinsella which I forgot to read =P

Wrath of Zuruggu

Currently on book 2 of Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy. Would like to get the next book in line from Kelly Armstrong's Bitten and am being urged to buy at least one of the Discworld series.

q.c.™

I have been reading Raven Rise by DJ MacHale for over a year.

Sebastian Moran

Just started "the memoirs of sherlock holmes", having finished the previous three books.. no, I have not read them before, and yes, I'm reading them because of moffat & gatiss's television series.

I just finished reading the lastest Artemis Fowl (first one was read to me in primary school, meh). The next one will be the last, it's like that "end of childhood" Harry Potter sadness all over again. :<
