[PaleSkinBeauty]

What book are you reading right now? I am currently involved in Geek Love and I just finished American Gods...his stuff is always brilliant....so tell me whats on your bedside table....

[venus]

I'm reading Violets are Blue.
Its a story about a cop tracking
down a vampire cult.
Very interesting.{v}

[Czhsta]

Of mice and men




:rolleyes: school.....

[talisman]

i'm alternating between "about face" and "dead until dark". First one is a military autobiography, second is this lil book about this telepathic louisiana barmaid who falls in love with a vampire, after vampires become an accepted "minority" in american culture. It's great, i recommend it for a quick, entertaining read.

t.

[dragonsorceress]

I am reading a book by Bentley Little...Has anyone ever heard of him before?

[The Hanged Man]

I actually liked Of mice and men. It was nice, my friends remind me of Lenny, I know that one day Im goiung to have to shoot them for their own good...

[Czhsta]

I haven't gotten into this one. Usually I like the books that we read at school. (Gr. 11 - Catcher In The Rye heh....)

This one...I guess I don't really relate to any of the characters. :confused:

[mirroredfire]

I haven't read a book since I started working full time =/

[PaleSkinBeauty]

I remember Dead Before Dark....great story. I hear there is another like that story by the same author....ooops I cant recall the title!!! :D

Has anyone ever read the Sonia Blue series? or anything my Bret Monohan...Micheal Romkey? great vampire stories.

[Mrs_Scabtree]

Well I am still reading that one book Le Petit Prince and now I am also reading another book also called (I think) Spellbound. It's from the Sweep series it's like book 6. It's pretty good I like it. Anyone else heard of, or reading/read this series?

[PaleSkinBeauty]

At the moment reading the American Way of Death. A facinating expose of the funeral industry. IT is older, written in 1961, I would find it interesting if they re did the book today with todays prices, rituals etc to see what had changed!

[BringerOfDeath]

i just finished mists of avalon...which is a great book...definately a keeper...im starting "thus spoke Zarathustra"...mmmm..philosophy...aint it lovely!!!:D

[Desirata]

Hey, dragonsorceress, you mentioned Bentley Little?

I like some of his stuff. Good mainstream quick-fix horror. (I particularly liked "Dominion" -- very cool concept.)

I'm reading Tanya Huff right now -- I highly recommend her to all and sundry, especially her "Summon the Keeper" series. Hysterical -- I particularly enjoyed hearing Hell arguing with itself.

[mirroredfire]

I wanted to read the bible.. not because im christian but just so I can know more about the religion then they do.. its funner that way

[The Hanged Man]

Read the Cathlic editions if you can - the protestant ones omit several books and some of the passages, know what bits of the bible they don't read may prove useful, but only if you now whats on them.

The study of religion is cool. I wanted to do philosophy and religion in Uni.

[The Hanged Man]

I've almost finnished The last LOTR book, I've qued up Eddings and Adams afterwards.

[Apparition]

I'm really into The Witching Hour (Anne Rice), awesome book

I have read "Shadows", "The Homing", and "Creature" by John Saul. "Shadows" was by far my favorite book by him...very creepy.
What kind of celtic mythology are you into, Irish, Scotish? I'm really into Welsh celtic mythology, since I'm half Welsh.

And right now, I have a "creature" trying to eat my feet off, wanting to be fed, (my kitten Peep :love ) so I gotta go!

I learnt old English at school, and reading the stuff written at the time (eg, Chaucer) is really rewarding, so I might brush up on my French to read those aswel.

[Gewemx]

Hey THM... it's easy for me read French books... i am french... i can speak english but it's really hard for me to read a book in English...
i just finished the previous book... now i am reading a book about abnormal facts: le sixième sens (the sixth sens). It's really cool. There are a lot of story about ghosts and poltergeists that happened in France...

2....the book of nod is the vampiric book of the beginning...but it has flaws in the story...for instance, in the book of nod it leaves no mention of Lilith, the first vampire who turned Cain.

3....well...it doesn't equal up to logic...according to the story of Adam and Eve, Cain was born about 800 years after the earth was made....therefore Cain would be about 65,000,000 years old....not around 600 like the book of nod says....:duh

The Shape Changer's Wife by Sharon Shinn (I'm not getting my hopes up about this one, it seems kind of generic)

I want to read the story of Jeckle and Hyde (who wrote it?) if not read about wicca - so i can understand it rather than practise it.

[Kieranasa]

as of yet, i am currently reading the emerald tablets of thoth, as translated by aliester crowley. once i have read, it, perhaps then i will reread it and grasp it, and then once more to merely find the symbolism in its text. but i can say from what i have read, it is a very useful text

[SelfishIdol]

Just finished Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (fabulous, read that and Plato's Republic). Started "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" today, cheesy, girlish, growing up and romance sort of thing. Ugh.

Wow, I am finally not alone! I am surrounded by fellow reading addicts! I'm currently reading "Take a Thief" by Mercedes Lackey. I read ANYTHING Science Fiction or Fantasy, and quite a few horror books. Then, when I run out, I read them all again!

:D :D :D

Oh, and the next in my reading line-up: "Wicca Craft: The Modern Witch's Book of Herbs, Magick and Dreams" By Gerina Dunwich. I throw in some serious material among the SciFi/Fantasy I devour!

I am curently rereading some forgotten realms novels because they are part trilogies that i never finished and i wanna be back on the same page.

Than I am reread the Chronicles of Narnya for he hell of it.

[ReclusiveEnigma]

I've just finished reading a book Life on the Other Side: A Psychic's Tour of the Afterlife by Sylvia Browne. Its all about what the place is like where we go when we die. Its a good book, well recommended to borrow from your local libary. She's looking at things from a christian point of view but thats irrelevent really since it doesn't matter what religion you are.

The Big Book of Jack the Ripper, or something like that. The Mammoth book...? Eh, you get the picture.

I decided to go for something different this book....I'm reading Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. I read the first three years ago, and now I have 5 of them to read through, and the last two are all NEW! I love new books. Nothing in the world is as good as a new good book. Sigh. :D smilespin

[The Hanged Man]

Jean Aeul is very good reading. I remember when my gf ignored many a sexual advance becaues of those damn books, but because they are quite dirty in some places they got me love too :)

I've only read clan of the cave bear, but I thought it was good enough to rent the film (good but long0 also. Good reading Square C

tomorrow I might start reading Grendel because it's a school assignment, but there was this book umm, I think it was called Portrait of a Killer:Jack the Ripper Case Closed....or something like that, by Patricia Cornwell or something....:duh I'm not exactly sure, but it was something like that, I thought that book was pretty interesting, anyone read it?

[Kieranasa]

well, i would be reading the great gatsby if i could find it, but its no where to be seen, so i guess i will just listen to a few audio books. i think i have the brothers grimm fairy tales (origional and uncut---no pun intended) saved on my computer.

[Square C]

Finished the Auel series, now I'm reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Ten wonderfully thick books, around 700 to 1000 pages each. Should keep me occupied for another month, maybe....and I wish I were exaggerating. I read too fast. I go through them so fast, I can't keep up, the library can't keep up, and I sure can't afford my reading habit. It's worse than a drug.....smilespin Or better......depends on the point of view. I only started the series a few weeks ago, and I'm already on book 5. Excellent books, though, I recommend them to any fantasy readers, they are just awesome! :D

Jean-Paul Sartre's "Nausea." Third time reading.

I loved Nausea. Just finished 'The unbearable lightness of being' anyone read? I liked it lots. If you like Nausea, try this, its by Milan Kundera, maybe not as good, but interesting philosophy:D Im reading 'The reader' for uni, not very interesting. After that maybe 'The picture of dorian grey' ooorrr I think I might try something by Asimov...

Ah, the Wheel of Time, those are great books. I'm excited that in Jan 2004, he is putting out a prequel, and sad that I have to wait until 2006 before book 11 comes out. Then I get to start over from book 1 again, because I just can't get enough of that series.....

Right now, I'm reading The Cycle of Fire (3 books in one; Stormwarden; Keeper of the Keys; and Shadowfane) by Janny Wurts. Pretty good trilogy.

You know, I just started reading The Wheel of Time in June. I had read the first one several years ago, but for some reason never continued. I'm glad that I picked it up again because it's one of the best series I have ever picked up. Not looking too forward to the book 11 wait, but I'm sure that I'll find something else to read to occupy my time.

So Eddings fans do exist!! I've been reading his books for years and now I have some-one to talk to about them.

This is the happiest moment in my life!!!


Im reading 'The monstrous regiment' by Terry Pratchett.

[wicked]

Haha, you're a trip, HM.

I just finished Memnoch the Devil not long ago. I read it to take a break from The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. (You know, the one TNT made a movie of.) Naturally, the book is a lot better. I've read about 3/4 of it. I would strongly suggest this book for fans of Arthurian legend. It seems so simple, it's believable. %)t

Ah, yes, I knew you had good taste, Hanged Man! :kiss I discovered Eddings years ago...when the Belgariad first came out. I have been hooked ever since. I never got to read his next series, I had bought them and then my house burned down. The only things that I lost in that fire that still makes me cry are all my books. :( I've replaced some of them...it will take years to replace all of them. But I did buy Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress. Had to be done. ;)

[The Hanged Man]

I think his Elenium/Tamuli trilogies are among his best work, the seeker, the trolls in the valley, the attack on the Holy city.... So many memories, and they're not even real ones.

Yep, Eddings is one of my favourite aurthors of all time. :)

[Kute Kitty]

Having finished the Belgariad and the Elenium (with a couple of Terry Pratchett books in between), I've now moved on the Northern Lights, but Philip Pullman.

[Square C]

I am now re-reading (for the umpteenth hundred time) Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. It is his only 'pure science fiction' novel....the movie sucked, didn't do the book justice at all! Of course, it would have to be about a 12 hour movie to even come close, lol.

[The Hanged Man]

Im reading a Gemmel book, Sword in the Storm.

Never read his stuff before, but I went for it of its rep. Great book so far :)

[Nadilla Durik]

I'm reading The Amber Spyglass, The Return of the King, Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Diaries: The Fury and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

And no, I'm not confused by them all. And I still have time for college, videogames, eating and sleeping.

[The Hanged Man]

Great choices there.

Im reading 'Stormrider' The 3rd in the Rigante series of books by Gemmell (Im hooked).

Im also reading through the VTM rule book. Just for the hell of it.

[Adriana]

I'm reading Blood Canticle (sp?) by Anne Rice. It has been said that she will write no more VC books because of her husband's death......

[Ada]

Im reading Schrodinger's Kittens and the search for reality. Its okay so far...

[Pure Vampyric E]

As mentioned in the Anne Rice thread, I'm currently on The Vampire Lestat, page 209 out of 550, I rarely read so I am surprised how quickly I am going through the book and how thoroughly I am enjoying this piece of literature.

[crimzntearz]

You people are obsessed with Anne Rice aren't you? :duh

Anyways....

I'm reading "Troy" by Adele Geras

And...

"When Hearts Collide" an Erotic Romance... but it's not really romantic, it's just kinky :D. It's by Marilyn Jaye Lewis. :p

[wicked]

I just finished Dhampir by Barb & J.C. Hendee. It was good, but I felt it could've been better. It's about a half-human, half-vampire who's born to hunt... vampires! It's a bit simple, but good in it's simplicity.

I'm about to start Hades' Daughter by Sara Douglass. [bowdown]

[Kute Kitty]

I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how could someone be half human/half vampire? Vampires are un-dead. The operative word being dead. As in, not about to have kids any time soon.

I'm sure it made sense in the book and I'm sorry if I seem to be having a go at you, I don't intend to. It's an old argument I've had too many times with friends who didn't understand.

[crimzntearz]

Use your imagination love :D. I do think that whole half human/vampyre is kinda shtoopid. Did a mortal and immortal breed or what? :duh
