I'm reading Black Elk Speaks by Black Elk.

It's a rather interesting book about Indians and their encounters with the Wasichus (the white people).

[tnguyet]

Swann's Way by Marcel Proust...*yawn* I'm only on the second page and it seems quite boring but I'll continue reading in hopes that it would get better =). After I'm done Swann's Way I'll have to read 5 more books since there's a whole series...

[Sky's Crying]

I just finished reading Jemima J by Jane Green & Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic and Sister. Very light reads...Anyone have any good recommendations?

[ButterBean]

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

This is probably the 1838374484th time I read the book. It is truly breathtaking. And what's more, there's a sequel. Hohoho

[hahaha7209]

Just finish The Da Vinci Code, I'm starting Angels and Demons. This topic is great. Thank you for all of your ideas about books you are reading.

[IMAJynXed1]

i just picked up...

Survival in the Killing Fields by Haing Ngor and Roger Warner
and
Children of Cambodia's Killing Fields: Memoirs by Survivors by Dith Pran and Kim DePaul

I can honestly say that even tho Im Khmer I do not know too much about this tragedy. I guess growing up in the US my parents never really wanted to talk to much about it so I sorta grew up ignorant to it. I think alot of the younger Khmer generation are like me. I think its worth the reading, not just as a Khmer, but as a person. I think Im gunna start with Children of the Cambodian Killing Fields first.

A certain slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb

info: Helen died 130 years ago as a young woman. Unable to enter heaven because of a sense of guilt she carried at death, she has been silent and invisible but conscious and sociable across the generations. Her spirit has been sustained by its attachment to one living human host after another, including a poet and, most recently, a high-school English teacher. While she sits through his class one day, she becomes aware of James and he–unlike the mortals all around them–is aware of her as well. James, who also died years earlier, inhabits the body of a contemporary teen, Billy. James and Helen fall in love, he shows her how to inhabit the body of a person whose spirit has died but who still lives and breathes, and the two begin to unfold the mysteries of their own pasts and those of their adolescent hosts. Jenny, whose body Helen now uses, is the only child of strict religious parents who controlled her beyond what her spirit could endure. Billy's spirit left his body after a string of tragedies resulting from drug abuse and domestic violence. James and Helen court in both modern and old-fashioned ways; here is a novel in which explicit sex is far from gratuitous or formulaic. Whitcomb writes with a grace that befits Helen's more modulated world while depicting contemporary society with sharp insight. In the subgenre of dead-narrator tales, this book shows the engaging possibilities of immortality–complete with a twist at the end that wholly satisfies.

as well as Pretties, the last of the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld

now I am reading the Devil wears prada again. Need to buy new books soon!~
this thread is handy I can find many new reads.

[grachee]

everything is illuminated by jonathan safran foer.

the way the narrator speaks is a little difficult to get used to but it's so quirky and addicting.

i just finished reading this. i agree with you- its weird but strangely addicting and funny. it started off pretty light and i barely understood it in the beginning but i really enjoyed it. the different perspectives he gave on human behavior that you dont think much about got me. <3

norweign wood by haruki murakami

such a good book..love it

i love the character midori...she's my hero XD

i want to read bell jar by sylvia plath...she seems like such an interesting person from her diary entries

[candlelite]

Some books I recommend..

Tales Of A Drama Queen - Lee Nichols
(one of those funny chic novels)

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith

Portrait in Sepia - Isabel Allende

Angela's Ashes: A Memoir - Frank McCourt

[prechuz_azn]

These are the books that I've read lately:

Stephen King - Misery
This book is about a popular writer, Paul Sheldon who gets into a car crash in the Colorado roads and his "number one" fan Annie Wilkes comes to his rescue and helps him to recovery but unfortunately she's this really bizerk fan out to get him to write her a novel despite the fact that he's crimbled and hoked on dope.

It's a really funny and disturbing story after some parts I didn't eat for some meals. Thats how throughal Stephen King's descriptions are *shivers* I can still remember every detail of that one part in the book. Yeah when you start reading this book you'll find yourself UNABLE to put it down well to me it was like that- I couldn't put the book down so I just read it straight for 4 hours o_O until my dad came in and told me to go to sleep since it was 1 in the morning

James Patterson - Kiss the Girls
"Washington DC detective Dr. Alex Cross ('Morgan Freeman') travels to North Carolina to investigate the apparent kidnapping of his niece ('Gina Ravera'). Aided by escaped kidnapee Kate McTiernan (Ashley Judd), Cross hunts down the kidnapper, who operates under the pseudonym 'Casanova'. " (IMDb: Earth's Biggest Movie Database)

Yeah this story is so ugh...its good but some parts can be a little graphical if you know what I mean. Casanova omg...he sounded so mysterious and cunning it scared me. I mean the guy was a certified stalker or something *shivers* he even knew what kind of underwear brand she liked-- GOD thats jsut !
Yeah James Patterson will keep you guessing -- "who is the killer?" in this book making you want to read MORE. I read this book in between classes and free time LoL sometimes id finish my work real early/fast so I can read this book.

Yeah I like reading best sellers ()....I know Im weird

The book Im currently reading is Ask Alice by Anonymous
Its a short book that shows a drug addict's diary entries and problems throughout her addiction that she undergos

plus

A Separate Peace by John Knowles
Im reading this one for school ^ but I like it

[Ima]

Hey I read A Separate Peace last year too for an English report. It was good, didn't like the ending much though. The author's style of writing was beautiful. The description was smooth and clear. My favorite character in there was Finny.

Anyway, I've just finish reading Blue is for Nightmare by Laurie faria Stolarz today. A pretty good book I must say.

[TygrrLilly]

I just finished

A Massive Swelling: Celebrity Re-examined as a Grotesque Crippling Disease and Other Cultural Revelations - Cintra Wilson. Loved it.

I just started

War Trash - Ha Jin

I tried reading it. I liked the scenes with the nurse and the writer...but I really couldn't stand reading the script part of the book....so I quit. And my-my, Stephen King does have a...erm....disturbing imagination.

I just finished reading The Highest Tide. I'm going to start on The Timetraveler's Wife. Then Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel (this book is huge...so I'm probably going to be using my face as a prop cause I like to read in bed XD).

[VersusVillain]

And my-my, Stephen King does have a...erm....disturbing imagination.

I know, isn't it awesome?
"Apt Pupil" is also one of his more twisted stories I've read, I love it!
