Topic: What are you reading?

[+anima: Cooro]

I'm reading the book theif for like, the sixth time ._.;
I don't know any other books I can read tbh
I'm fussy and get bored easily.

[Lacrymosa]

I've just finished The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger. SO good.

Now reading Girls Night In which is about the ladies on Loose Women. Funny, indeed.. perhaps not for the younger ones though!

The Road - Cormac McCarthy.

after reading the topic about
"the knife of never letting go"
i picked it up from the library and have just opened the cover..
WHOAA mass1ve

rereading "The Wasp Factory" by Iain Banks.. i enjoy it more every time i read it, heh. 
maybe because the first time i was all "nooo the poor wasps ;_;" 
a bit. what. 
i really do like the black humour in it though. so long as it's not just me deciding that bits are funny when they shouldn't be. 
but come on.. the way he killed esmerelda? xD

Gonna be starting Mort by Terry Pratchett tonight.


Kinda looking forward to it

Aside from reading through the eleventh chapter of my novel, The Cloud-Capped Towers (which incidentally is in the Art section of the forum [/shamelessplug]), and proofreading my eigth sonnet (which also is in the Art section in my poetry thread), I’m finishing off Paradise Lost. “Better the reign in Hell than serve in Heav’n”.

[Sebastian Moran]

nearly finished "Birdman" by Mo Hayder.. got it in the post this morning and as a result have been not doing much work today 8D 
 
i really ought to ration new books, otherwise i won't have anything new to read later :c 
is rather good though, yes it is.. and apparently there's a twist to come [assuming that i haven't already read the twist, but i doubt it.. i have a faint idea what it might be about]. 
It's a tad annoying knowing that it has a twist, because i'm constantly looking out for hints to it D8

^ I find that xD knowing that something exciting is going to happen and wondering if you've read it or if there's something better to come.. or knowing that something will happen to somebody, and trying to pick up on hints of who it might be. I find that in films of books, too, I look out for clues for what I already know is coming!

Being ill has given me masses of reading time, so I've ploughed a little further on with The Selfish Gene.. but I dunno if I'll finish it before it needs to go back to the library, it really hasn't grabbed me. Finished Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh, which I actually did find very interesting. And now I'm taking a break from my study books to read Syren, part of the Septimus Heap series <3 I love these books, they're so wonderfully innocent. And then I'll pick up Genome - The Autobiography of a Species by Matt Ridley, possibly along with The Crossing of Ingo. Hurray mermaids!

Plus I also want to reread the Fire Within series before laying my paws on Dark Fire, so I can decide whether to buy it or just borrow it. Might borrow it anyway and buy it if I like it enough. I love school libraries <3

Currently I'm reading The Kite Runner <3 I'm nearly done with it. =D <3333333

Earlier today I read The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allen Poe. There were some parts I didn't understand, like the end where everything spontaneously combusted. But otherwise, it was a pretty nifty little story. o.o

I don't know the exact title but it's a Masters Degree level textbook on Physics.
I'll write you some of it;

...characterized by exactly zero electrical resistance and the exclusion of the interior magnetic field (the Meissner effect). It was discovered by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. Like ferromagnetism and atomic spectral lines, superconductivity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon. It cannot be understood simply as the idealization of "perfect conductivity" in classical physics.
In superconducting materials, the characteristics of superconductivity appear when the temperature T is lowered below a critical temperature Tc. The value of this critical temperature varies from material to material. Conventional superconductors usually have critical temperatures ranging from around 20 K to less than 1 K. Solid mercury, for example, has a critical temperature of 4.2 K. As of 2001, the highest critical temperature found for a conventional superconductor is 39 K for magnesium diboride (MgB₂), although this material displays enough exotic properties that there is doubt about classifying it as a "conventional" superconductor. Cuprate superconductors can have much higher critical temperatures: YBa₂Cu₃O₇, one of the first cuprate superconductors to be discovered, has a critical temperature of 92 K...

oh yes.

Totally couldn't get on with that book. Depressing, with no promise of better things...and without ruining the ending, I didn't go much on that either. Exceedingly unfulfilling.

Loved that book. I really like how the author makes you hate the main character (for what he does as a kid) and then how you become more and more attached to him as the book goes on. Apparently there's a sort of...'spin off' called A Thousand Suns or something, and it centres around some random character from The Kite Runner (I think it's the orphanage bloke?) that I'm yet to read.

I've just started reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

Very interesting book about a true massacre. Good stuff.
