Half way through American Gods - Neil Gaiman

I can't believe I don't read more of this guy! He had a few book signings around here the other day and all his paperbacks were stacked neatly in piles at the entrance of a few major bookstores I usually go to...which was lucky for me as I rarely remember to otherwise look for his books on shelves. I've only every read a selection of his short stories (Smokes and Mirrors?) but I do love his wit and humour. Specialising in dark comedy...sometimes his ideas are so bizarre yet so believable at the same time. Addicting mix.

For anyone who loves a slighlty odd yet completely enjoyable book~ pick up American Gods.

American Gods is awesome, I love it. Actually, I love most of Gaiman's stuff, his novels are excellent. If you liked American Gods, there is a sort of sequel, Anansi Boys - it's lighter and features some familiar characters from American Gods. I will also recommend Neverwhere, originally a TV series for which Gaiman wrote a novel version. It's a bizzare ride through the London "underworld", fascinating stuff. Stardust is beautiful, one of my favourites (um, avoid the film adapation). Good Omens is a collaboration with Terry Pratchett, hilarious and a complete riot. Coraline is a creepy novella, very absorbing.

If you're into graphic novels, Gaiman is famous for The Sandman series - there are 11 volumes and a few spinoffs.

I'm gonna start Smoke and Mirrors myself.

im reading the Vampire Diaries-The Awakening & the Struggle by LJ Smith.

the POV part is quite messed.sometimes i get torn and confused between the general POV and the female lead's main POV when she's is writing her diary.>< i've read this book from yesterday and now its near done,same with TKR.

im still not done with The Kite Runner.sigh..this teaches me not to read tearjerkers..lol.

TWILIGHT
NEW MOON

I just borrowed the books this past weekend to see what the hype was all about and now I see why everyone loves it! <3

[marasshi]

I'm reading (or trying to):

1984 by George Orwell
This is really hard for me to read. I think I need to block out an entire day just to finish this.

The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman
For my history class. It's not the best, and it provides a capitalist's point of view of globalization (or so say the reviewers).

Middlemarch by George Eliot
My God, I've been trying to read this since December. T_T

[ForeverFantasY-]

I just finished TWILIGHT, took me a day

[jaefan]

Match Me If You Can by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

[Elee]

1984 By George Orwell

its a book i chose to read in my english class. its really good Plus its going to be on my AP test my senior year anyways. haha. I recommend it If you like The Giver, you would love this book !

[x_TaintedLove]

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
I'm not very far, considering that I bought it thirty minutes ago. It has a Holly Black-vibe coming from it. Tithe was good, but I don't want to read a repeat. But I like the urban setting mixed with fantasy. I like Melissa Marr's writing style. :]

Other Books that I'm Reading; The Realm of Gods by Tamora Pierce [I've been waiting for it to be in stock for weeks], Kissing Coffins by Ellen Schreiber, Pandora by Anne Rice, and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.
= Love!

I pre-ordered Breaking Dawn today. Stephenie Meyer's attack with the horrible cliches and cheesy plots are irritating, but I'm mildly curious as what's to happen.

[Manyhx3]

sangen om den r�de rubin by Agnar mykle >_>
