I'm reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison for summer reading in my AP English class. Not bad. A lot of monologue, but it's got a lot of good parts.

i'm reading Enduring love by Ian Mcewan. I saw the movie last year (loved it), and the book is just as good (probably equal, since the movie has Daniel Craig). A really unique style of writing too. Recommended.

Reading Monument by Ian Graham atm. It's.. interesting. It's a fantasy novel, with the gimmick being that the "protagonist" is an arse. Ballas is an alcoholic, a thief, a thug, a womaniser, and the only way he knows to repay somebody saving his life is to steal from them.

Surprisingly, I was quite enjoying it. The descriptions are pretty good, some original stuff in there, and while I have no sympathy for Ballas at all and he makes me cringe on a frequent basis (vomit and thoughts of prostitutes every other sentence), it was still interesting and I wanted to know what happened.

But then there was this grim execution scene out of nowhere and it was like.. man I do not want to read this! And now I have very little desire to carry on reading because it made me feel ill (yeahh I'm pretty squeamish) and, while I want to find out the rest of the story, it isn't worth reading the nasty bits for. Shame!
