i'm going to start reading twilight's sequels, new moon & eclipse, as soon as i get my hands on them laugh.gif i'm so addicted. twilight was unbelievable & stephenie meyer is an amazing author. i couldn't stop reading until i finished.. i bought it last night and i don't regret it at all.
but until i can get the sequels to twilight, i'm finally going to begin finishing harry potter and the half blood prince since the last book is coming out soon laugh.gif i couldn't finish it sooner, knowing i would have to wait months until the deathly hollows would come out.
i always dread having to wait for books, movies, & series to be completed. cliffhangers are totally evil & addiction sucks.
but even so, i love edward wub.gif

I'm currently reading "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman" by Haruki Murakami (my most favorite author<3). I've read every single one of his books and love most of them smile.gif

I'm currently reading Death and Nightingales by Eugen McCabe. It's too deep and its irish style is deep for me, and I had to put it down for a while. But it's good, not that best though. I knew I should have bought a chick novel. ^___^

Oh well, HP 7 is going to be out too. I used to be a big fan of the series (and the movies) but I got tired of it. I still like it though.

i got like 15 pages left to go! i wouldn't say it's better than *the kite runner*, but it's just as good...

the plot always kept me on my toes & there were several parts that got me holding my breath.

very, very good book! highly recommend it! happy.gif

The Devil of Nanking by Mo Hayder. I started reading it a couple of weeks ago but stoppped. I don't know why... But I'm going to start reading it again. It's about (from Amazon): "The solitary Englishwoman Grey comes to Japan looking for a rare piece of footage that is said to document a particularly monstrous episode of the 1937 Nanking Massacre. Her quest will take her to a reclusive scholar and a wheelchair-bound gangster who clings to life with the aid of a mysterious elixir, and to a handsome American whose interest in Grey may be more sinister than romantic. The result is a work of spine-chilling suspense, masterful historical detail, and otherworldly beauty."

My friend read it and she said it was good so I thought I'll give it a try. biggrin.gif

I'm reading The Persian Boy by Mary Renault
it's about the last 7 years of Alexander the Great's life told through the POV of his eunuch lover Bagoas
it's pretty good so far

it's nice to finally have time to read now that school's out


Ooh, sounds interesting. I like books that tells a story/event/etc. from another point of view. There's a book called Ophelia that tells the Hamlet play from her point of view. And there's The Other Boleyn Girl. I haven't read any of these yet... Anyone have any more recommendations for books like these?

I've just started reading THE JULiAN PARADOX <<check this out!


I checked out the website and it seems interesting. It's not up on Amazon... O.o

That's great to hear! I think I will read this book next. Right now... I'm just not in the mood to finish Dante's Inferno. I will finish it eventually, though.

Thanks for the recommendation! =)

john saul is an amazing author! one of my favourites, i've read most of his books. anyone who's interested in psychological/supernatural horrors or anyone who loves suspenseful books w/ many twists, his books will keep

Currently reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. LOVE it.

I've also barely started Seeing by Jose Saramago (sequel to Blindness, which I also really really liked).

And I need to reread HP 6 and maybe 5 to prepare myself for 7. biggrin.gif
