Topic: What are you reading?

[PiPlUp_94]

I just finished reading Linwood Barclay's second book: Too Close to Home. It was really good. It's about a family who's next door neighbours get shot but they find out that they were the intended targets. His first book: No Time for Goodbye is great as well ^^

I'm also reading to Kill a Mockingbird in English >:

[Sunnii]

I just finshed reading the Vampire Academy and I am now ready the Mate dates series again >.<

I know for a fact that you all will think that the list i am about to type is Stupidly long, and that i will probably over-load my brain soon because i shouldn't be reading so many books at once.

Books I'm Currently Reading:
Blood Beast by Darren Shan
Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire by J.K.Rowling
Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
JPOD by Douglas Coupland
IT by Stephen King
Demon Seed by Dean Koontz
A Place Called Here by Cecelia Ahern
Vanishing Act by Jodi Picoult
SoulMaster by Pete Sides

I would be more than happy to recomend any of these books to everyone here at PKMN.NET, Except the last book on the list for other reasons.

I've replaced the Jodi Picoult book i finished with another one.

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult.

The Book thief by Markus Zusak

Difficult book to get into, I found, a bit like wading through treacle at times.. but I very much enjoyed it overall (: good choice.

I'm reading two books atm:
Michelle Paver's Ghost Hunter, which is fantastic right up until the big battle scene at the end where I totally lost track of what was going on O.o; didn't seem all that dramatic really, more sort of clumsy and a flukey win.. and I thought it was a real shame we didn't see ANY proper spirit walking in this book D: it's such an interesting concept.

and Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene, so that I have something to flesh out my university application with if I do Biochem P: I slugged through the preface and then realised I couldn't tell you a thing about what it said, but the book itself is much easier-going and fascinating so far, though I'm only a couple of chapters in. I'm also hoping to find some sort of reason to like the author in the book, after The God Delusion became so fashionable among "researched" religion-bashers, which has made me subonciously dislike Dawkins xD;

[Wrath of Zuruggu]

and Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene, so that I have something to flesh out my university application with if I do Biochem P:

^5 Great minds think alike.

I'm not much of a reader, but needed something to do during my lunch breaks at the zoo so I bought that book on recommendation of my friend and my biology tutor. I haven't reached the end yet... it's actually quite dull and repetative at some points, which led me to skim read half of each chapter... and I just sort of lost interest. Must finish it though at some stage. It is a very interesting book when he isn't repeating what he's explained infinate times already in previous chapters.

I ought to read the Return of the Kings by J.R.R. Tolkien (Accelerated Reader programs in school are one of the most dumb ideas thought of). Just finished Sunwing by Kenneth Oppel.

[PiPlUp_94]

We've finished ready How To Kill A Mockingbird for english. The ending was good, wouldn't read it again though.

I'm also reading: Promise Me by Harlan Coben, and i'm going to start reading Girl Missing by Sophie Mackenzie.

The Magician's Elephant - Kate DiCamillo

I just bought it, haven't started it. But I've read books from the author before, so I hope it'll be good.

Next:

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

looks good<3

[master1]

Amma gonna start reading Fruits Basket again, now that I have all of them. =3

[IceRain]

finished Welcome To Safeway Inc (part 2). Ya know, it was all right. The characters had absolutely NO personality at all. The story never really got me in. It frequently changed subjects, it was just bleh! But I think I know how to do my job now. =P

[Apprentice]

Well, right now for a reading assignment, I'm now reading The Dark Side of Nowhere by Neal Shusterman. It's fast-paced, but the good kind.
The first sentence of the first chapter is a spoiler which is a paradox.
But, today, I read the first two chapters of The Wave by Todd Strasser. That was somewhat sparky.
