ooo, have you read Haunted by the same author. (chuck palahniuk )Really enjoyed that one.

I'm currently reading If Chins Could Kill- By Bruce Campbell.
It's his autobiography.

I finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince about 7 minutes ago. I loved it. I don't really want to discuss the book in case I spoil it for people so I'm going to stop typing now.

I got Christian Dior's biography the other day. I got it out the library before purely for the pictures, but this time I'm determined to actually read it.
And Rosemary's Baby, because I saw the film, but missed the ending.

i tried reading noughts and crosses, and i like the way it is written (i.e. the wya the chapterts split it up) but i prefered how burgess did it in 'junk', and i jsut couldn't get into blackman's writing.

I have to get hold of Checkmate. Knife Edge was a huge disappointment but I'm still curious.

I'm currently reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything.

Just finished reading 'The heart is deceitful above all things' by JT Leroy. It was fantastic, whilst explaining it to a friend they suggested it was trying to be like the child called it series. But it isn't and reading it I wouldn't of thought of it unless she did. I still think they are completely different. It is beautifully written. I am not seeking it out his first novel Sarah. :-*

I've almost finished reading Fellowship of the Ring for the third time. Has anyone read Cloud Atlas?

Everyone should read 'How I paid for College-A Tale of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theatre.' By Marc Acito.
Its genius. Its made me laugh out loud in public places when I'm alone, its that funny. I adore this book sooo much.Comic genius.

I read the strangest book on holiday- 'We need to talk about Kevin' by Lionel Schriver. It's from the point of view of the mother of a 'Columbine Kid' writing to the father. She goes back over Kevin (the son's) life, trying to pinpoint why he did it- was it her fault, was she a bad mother, or was Kevin just born evil. It's slightly warped, but then from stuff Schriver's written in the Guardian, she's a bit warped herself. But it's extremely well written- completely absorbing and page turning. Despite the unrealism, it's intriguing and raises a fair few issues. Definitely worth a read

I've only read the first two chapters. (I've read it before, but that was YEARS ago.) Quite good, but a bit schmaltzy.

A biography of Karl Marx by the brilliant Francis Wheen.
No Logo by Naomi Klein.
Love All The People - which is a collection of Bill Hicks stuff and is 45 metric f*cktons of awesome.

Apparently they're re-writing this so all the 'slagging-off' christianity is taken out. Well, all the stuff about the bible being a load of crap anyway so presumably the section about the Roman emperor and how the bible was supposedly written.

I find it ridiculous how many people took the book at face value; the Vatican had to appoint a spokesperson to state that it was FICTION!

Btw, that rant wasn't aimed at you, Babushka (sorry, I don't know your real name :/) if it seems like it, which it very well could :S; I was also very tempted to google image the Mona Lisa when I read it- if I had been near a computer I'm sure I would have done! In fact, I'm really tempted to do so now...

*Ahem*

the symbols are there, i was by the real thing when i was reading it. i didn't have to google they are making a film of it i hear. that just sounds like cashing in becausei ts liek the best selling fiction novel of all time or something

Ive halfway through the last book in James herberts the rats trilogy 'Domain' its amazing and really disturbing as the final book is set some years after the first two, The Rats and Lair, a nuclear war has destroyed most of London and the few survivors are trapped underground with the surviving Rats. Its grusesome specially when herbert describes what happens to the city when the bombs fell, i was up reading till 3am this morning.
Another class book by Herbert is '48 which is crying out to be made into a film.

i started reading Daughter Of Fortune by Isabel Allende a few weeks ago. i finished it yesterday. Now i'm reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby.

I keep starting complicated classics and giving up halfway through. I'm reading Hamlet for school at the moment.

It could happen.

I'm currently reading a pile of children's classics which I have had since I was about 4. The Railway Children has to be the best. My favourite quotes:

"We are going to live in a ducky-dear little house"

"Come here my chickabiddys"
