I'm rereading Catching Fire because as much as I loved the film and it blew my mind, I felt like it missed out some huge details, and underplayed a lot of character development.

I just completed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby after watching the film adaptation and usually I'm completely anti-reading but I felt motivated to read through it. They're both incredible and moving, whilst also being very insightful. Definitely will read it again.

Might watch the documentary of it too (Assigné à Résidence) to get even more indepth into it. It's really weird being into a literary piece like this haha

I'm reading the penultimate chapter of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. When I finish this I'm going to start Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

 I finished Carrie by Stephen King in the summer and since then I haven't really managed to get stuck into a book.

 I just like short books with lots of violence  :laugh: I don't get much free time any more.

started V. S. Ramachandran's "Phantoms In The Mind", its all about stuff like trying to demistify phantom limb syndrome and when patients swear blind they can move their hands but they're lying completely quadraspazzed on a lifeglug in a bed

im one of those dumbo readers so it takes me forever to read something and it'll probably be like 100000 years before i finish it but dang its a nice book
im kind of a big idiot nerde for accessible neuroscience stuff in case my diatribes on the subject didn't make that clear

Since I last posted here I've read the whole of the Maze Runner series by James Dashner. Now I need to read the prequel 'The Kill Order'

Well, I haven't actually been reading anything.

However, I had a little peak at a few pages of City of Bones and I enjoyed it. I might read it soon enough.

I need to finish The Hunger Games first though x.x

im book schizophrenic and unfortunetly abandoned the last book i was reading cos i forgot where i'd got to and re-reading was too much work, will probably pick it up again soon


ive started the Illuminatus! trilogy by robert shea and robert wilson instead, dont know what to expect cos ive just started reading it blind and wow the first few bits are confusing but its p good so far???? ive not had a good Reading Abilities few months so its refreshing to be able to read once again

 I started The Templar Conspiracy by Paul Christopher, last night.

 It's quite a nice read, a little slow and I can't remember if this is the book that I gave up on when I got bored.

 I'm hoping people die.

Lucian's A True Story

Pretty interesting stuff, considering it's a parody of his contemporaries.

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?
