anyone knows any similar books to that? like descriptive and quirky stuff.lol thanks

A Child called "it" very sad story :{

^ Yeah, its so sad. =[

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

I read several chapters on the time travelers wife and the romance in there is definitely unique and cute =)




I haven't read the book but everyone talks about it. It's a true story right? Isn't the author the "child"? Yeah but I heard it was extremely sad as well.


I'm currently reading "Garden Spells." Then I'm not sure what I'm going to read next...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

Confessions of Georgia Nicholson by Louise Rennison

A fun read, without any meanings of life to ponder over, except the age old question: where the heck is the perfect man?
the protagonist is spoiled, self-centered, bratty, shallow, selfish, and vain—it's fantastic

I love this series. The protagonist is hilarious to the max. x]

Currently reading The Bridget Jone's Diary.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

best book everr...right after the twilight series. =]
i couldn't put it down for anything.
so suspenseful! xD

Started on Jodi Picoult's Salem Falls today ... also reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and going to start on Slaughterhouse Five within the next few days.

i've juz started on The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher

i only read the first 3 pages LOL

Battle Royale by Koushum Takami
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Ughh reading Twilight because everyone is making such a huuge deal about it. So far, it's okay. I can see why the girls drool over Edward. But seriously... It's so darn SAPPY. And the writing style is so AMATEUR. It's a good teen book, but that's as far as it gets.

i also reading twilight.. trying to figure out what the fuss is all about!
but i really enjoy it! -haha(guilty as charge!)--easy reading book anyway..

yeah agree with u too mika... the writing was so horrible ! even sweet valley did so much better!

the it girl - by person that wrote gossip girl
lord of the flies - william golding for schoool.rofls

The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie...
yep Dr. Gregory House from HOUSE wrote a book and its freakin hilarious!

Ahhh I had to read Life of Pi for my uni course. It was one of the more interesting ones I read.



I love this series, though she does put a tad too much useless description in in the later books.



I like reading Jodi's books, though after a while they all start sounding the same. :S



I completely agree with you on that. It reminds me of a fanfic. And there are some obvious gaps in the story, hence the story didn't really flow.

On that note, Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden. Never fails to intrigue me.

It's kinda very old book T^T

'Battle Royale' translated from japanese

This has been made to be a movie too!

The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings

A good fantasy. Well, definitely a cut--or three cuts--above the rest. And hilariously snarky, as well. Go Brit humor. We have thieves, gods, priests, mind-readers, howling barbarians, Books, gold, nobility, war, and even a tad of sex. Read!

the catcher in the rye

already developing a fic-crush on holden caulfield

I LOVE that book! He's such a talented man, that Hugh Laurie! I enjoyed the dry, sardonic humor in the book.

The Appeal by John Grisham

The Guardian- Nicholas Sparks
The Snow Empress- Laura Joh Rowland

Currently reading
The Luxe Anna Godberson
5 People You Meet in Heaven Mitch Albom
on my free time
At school
Macbeth Shakespere (sp?)
The Lovely Bones Alice Sebold
To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee. (second time T_T")

TKAMB gets better the second time, but its still not one of my favorites. I'm excited to start Macbeth

Any good reads ?

Due to a friend recommendation...
To kill a mockingbird ~ Harper Lee

I'm reading breaking dawn - twilight saga.
it's too thick... than other books, rofl
anyway, i like that book xD

That book is so beautiful. When I have a boy, I'm naming him Atticus. I first saw that movie when I was in elementary school, and my dad has always reminded me of Atticus Finch. My dad is also a lawyer, and he's also gained the city's reputation as one of the few honest lawyers who genuinely working to help society. I've always been proud that he's not one of the sleazy, money-obsessed lawyers. He's done so much work for friends and has fought cases that everyone else would have turned their noses up to. Ack, sorry for writing so much. But yeah...Atticus Finch...one of the greatest literary characters in American history.

-ginger

EDIT: "Atticus" means "like the father."

just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman

currently reading The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I just finished Impulse by Elle Hopkins a couple of days ago, that book is so good.
Yeah I know I'm late on reading it but whatever.
It was so addicting to read, there was close to 700 and I read it all in one day!
There wasn't a lot of text on each page so maybe that's why, it's kinda written in poetry form.

I just finished reading Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakami. Definitely a big departure from the Haruki Murakami books I read before Coin Locker Babies (the main characters are actually interesting ). It was one of the more engaging books I've read in a while, probably due to the unexpectedly gruesome content. I heard it's going to be made into a movie, but looking at the cast, I am not too thrilled. Except for Tadanobu Asano.

I'd like to read another book soon, maybe one of the classics. Any recommendations?
But for now I'm stuck with Organic Chemistry-John McMurry and Life: the Science of Biology-Sadava, et al.
Who needs novels when you can have allylic bromination of alkenes?

Am actually reading American Gods at the moment; just finished Stardust, Anansi Boys, and Neverwhere. Gaiman fills my little mind with neverending adventures.

i just finished reading zahir by paulo coelho

and i'm now reading the tenth circle by jodi picoult. (:

well i just finished Breaking Dawn.
I started reading it when it just came out and i just finished it last night because of the extra long pause i had for some unknown reason

Just started reading Blood Rites by Jimmy Lee Shreeve; the cover is pretty creepy

"The shocking expose of the ritual of Human Sacrifice- practiced today, and terrifyingly close to home..."

I finished "The Host" -Stephenie Meyer

Now reading Anne Rice's vampire series and Frankenstein [for school]

Currently reading:
Brave Story - Miyuki Miyabe (half way on this x:)
After Dark - Haruki Murakami (10 pages or so left~)
