The Beach by Alex Garland

[Dead Zed]

David Eddings - The Belgariad: Enchanter's End game
Liking it so far!

[ERIN_LoJ]

Just finished Fear by Ronald Kelly last night, good book

[KcMsterpce]

Right now I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha, and it is an amazingly beautiful story.
I don't want it to end, although I can't say that much has really happened in it. Wierd, huh? I'm half way through.

[bluesbrother965]

Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, really intense book. So far pretty depressing, but good.

[Psychocandy]

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I'm about 210 pages in and, though I struggled with the first fifty or so pages, once you get into it, it's really hard to put down. The characters are very vividly drawn and the plight of Prince Myshkin and the manner in which events unfold had been, thus far, surprisingly entertaining (I didn't expect to enjoy it...it was a recommendation). It's also not anywhere near as depressing as I anticipated. There are frequent and wholly unexpected moments of humour. If this continues to impress as much as it has so far then I think it could be the best book i've read in a number of years.

[silentasylum]

I just finished two outstanding books


Jasmine- Bharati Mukherjee

Steppenwolf- Hesse

Easily the best Star Wars Expanded Universe Trilogy to date. Timothy Zahn kicks ass. Thrawn is one of my favorite characters. You've got some awesome reading there Jas. I only wish I could go back and read it again for the first time.

[one_crow_sorrow]

Jon Stewart's America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

[Mick]

Started The Great Gatsby yesterday, and I've been reading Napoleon by Paul Johnson for the last couple o' days.

[heavymetalsanta]

Battle Royale

[redwhisper13]

I'm reading the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. Its kind of like a rated-R version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only she's 24, raises the dead, and shoots silver bullets. I'm up to The Lunatic Cafe now.

http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/images/LuCafeNew.jpg

[Mad Maggot]

Sigmund Freud's Die Zukunft einer Illusion (auf deutsch). I'm quite surprised to find out that Freud was not only crazy about sex and everyone being bisexual, but he also had thorough knowledge on the world culture and its tendencies.

Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha. Good read, haven't had too much time for it lately.

And also I have to read books like Classic German Philosophy, Ancient Atomism, Kant: Pre-critic and Critic usw these days.

An Evening of Long Goodbyes by Paul Murray

[Avid_Fan]

Black House
By Stephen King and Peter Straub

and

In The Night Room
By Peter Straub

[bmain77]

Right now I'm alternating between 2 books:

D-Day by Stephen Ambrose (a must for anyone interested in WWII history)

and

Stranger than Fiction by Chuck Palahnuik (its really interesting to read some non-fiction stuff from this guy...good stuff)

[jackson13]

Torpedo Juice by Tim Dorsey

and

The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel (the umpteenth time I've read it. Im a UFO/Sci-fi nut and it just amazes me what all happened in Point Pleasant in 1967. I wish I had been there to experience it.)

[Kastman]

i started reaidng house of leaves, stopped reading it... started reading rules of attraction, about 50 pages in.... woooo this may be the first proper book (besides goosebumps when i was in primary school) that i have ever read, willingly.

[Avid_Fan]

Frankenstein
Book One: The Prodigal Son

[Sigur509]

Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

[Asokan]

I'm alternating between three books:
The World According to Garp by John Irving (brilliantly neurotic)
Don Quixote by Cervantes (episodic, but marvellous vignettes)
Josefine Mutzenbacher by Felix Salten (written porn, but oddly artfully done)

[Maeljin_incarna]

Stephen King's IT

[KcMsterpce]

John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces.

I'm on page 3, and so far I'm enthralled! :D
... I have little time to read right now, or else I'd be much farther into it methinks.

[one_crow_sorrow]

Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley for school.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Dalamar The Dark by Nancy Varian Berberick

[syxxpac]

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

It's much, much, much, much, much, much, much smarter than I am.

[Could Be Worse]

Aunt Julia and the Script Writer

[Epicurean]

The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie

A strong will required, but value for effort so far. I'm finding his lyricism is stuttered by the work required to grasp certain ideas. Doesn't do much for the flow of the novel, but I love his style, so I'll happily bear it.

[Avid_Fan]

A Short History of Nearly Everything
by
Bill Bryson

An absolutely fascinating book.

[VincentPrice]

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (FINALLY)
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams {FINALLY}

"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. My fiancee bought that and "Da Vinci Code" for me, which I'll read next.

[sarah1980]

The Silence Of The Lambs

[Asokan]

I'm alternating (again) between three books:
Nigel Hawthorne's THE SCARLET LETTER (the prefacing sketch was a bit long, buddy, but the story itself is pretty well told, even if the characters talk like in THE VILLAGE:D)
Gustave Flaubert's MADAME BOVARY (just a silly romantic tale, really)
Dennis Copper's FRISK (gay sex deluxe - I don't know what's SOOOO interesting and artful about fucked-up fags fuckin', that we always have to read'em in American Literature seminars?!?!:rolleyes:)

Before that I finished Joseph Conrad's amazing HEART OF DARKNESS, which served as the basis for APOCALPYSE NOW (y'know, "The horror! The horror!"). Although it had no real plot to speak of, the philosophical stream-of-thought and the dense descriptions of the jungle were pretty impressive. Now I know where Coppola got the disturbing atmosphere of APOCALYPSE NOW from. "The horror!"

[B1rd_Po0p]

Otherland by Tad Williams. I read the first three books but it took too long for the 4th book to come out... so when I finally got it I forgot all of the important stuff in the first three books. SO I gotta start all over... :(

[one_crow_sorrow]

Eye in the Sky by Philip K. Dick

[The Young Son]

Star Wars: Force Heretic - Remnant.

[Dignan]

Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

[The Young Son]

Star Wars - Force Heretic II: Refugee

[martyds761]

Blue Twilight by Maggie Shayne

[adamjohnson]

Im reading a book called "I, Lucifer"
Check out the description.

"The Prince of Darkness has been given one last shot at redemption, provided he can live out a reasonably blameless life on earth. Highly sceptical, naturally, the Old Dealmaker negotiates a trial period - a summer holiday in a human body, with all the delights of the flesh." "The body, however, turns out to be that of Declan Gunn, a depressed writer living in Clerkenwell, interrupted in his bath mid-suicide. Ever the opportunist, and with his main scheme bubbling in the background, Luce takes the chance to tap out a few thoughts - to straighten the biblical record, to celebrate his favourite achievements, to let us know just what it's like being him." Neither living nor explaining turns out to be as easy as it looks. Beset by distractions, miscalculations and all the natural shocks that flesh is heir to, the Father of Lies slowly begins to learn what it's like being us.

Theres a much better synopsis on the back cover, with Lu optioning his life-story off to a film producer etc. It sounds really fun.

[martyds761]

The Fifth Profession by David Morrell.

One of, if not the BEST book I've ever read!

[syxxpac]

Stephen King's IT

Again.

Best. Book. Ever.

Anyone who challenges my assessment will fight me, pistols at dawn. We'll settle this the old Navy way - first guy to die...LOSES!

[KcMsterpce]

I'm going to start on Sandman volume 5 real soon. Like, tomorrow or something.

[one_crow_sorrow]

Pilgrim by Timothy Findley

[tattooedlen]

Frankenstein by Dean Koontz

I also picked up a book called Life is Good!
by Trixie Koontz, dog
edited by Dean Koontz

Its the coolest book. My favorite quote is on page 21
"Warning! Don't go see Old Yeller! Ending sucks! Old Yeller written by angry hateful crazy cat! Or Satan!"

Its a great book and I recommend it to everyone. It's not just a kid book.

[markuskorpela]

Frank Herbert's Dune Book 2

[B1rd_Po0p]

Well, I'm on a Dean Koontz kick again... Reading Midnight right now... I know I've read it before but it's still a good read... :D

[jeo4]

STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH, by Matthew Stover. As with its predecessors, I'm enjoying the book. It really gives more depth to my own viewing of the films. It feels comfortable and in some ways new. I imagine the scenes, but then realize I haven't been there at all when I see the film. The books never read exactly like the scripts or the scenes, but they add a different dimension to the films by giving some thoughts that simply can't be displayed in scenes or dialogue.

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

[Nachokoolaid]

JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL by Susanna Clarke.

Ok folks. I was going to start a whole thread on this book, but I thought this post would do for now. If you like fantasy in anyway, this is a MUST-READ!

Here's some praise for this great book:

"Ravishing...superb...combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the delicious social commentary of Jane Austen into a masterpiece that rivals Tolkien."

Rivals Tolkien?!? When I read that, I can honestly say I was a little skeptical, but it's really good.

And I think most fantasy readers here would recognize the name Neil Gaiman (Sandman, American Gods). Here's what he has to say:

"Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years. It's funny, moving, scary, otherwordly, practical and magical, a journey through light and shadow--from beginning to end, a perfect pleasure."

That's all pretty high praise, and I can tell you from my own opinion that I tend to agree with them. This book is awesome, and if you enjoy reading, it's one you have to read. I regret the folks that may never know about the greatness of this book.

[cow]

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

I am also working my way through a collection of Henry James' short stories. I've read Daisy Miller, International Episode, and Apsern Papers thus far.

Fascinating book. The Hurricane actually comes off as a not-so-great guy. He was in a gang, he shoplifted, he was involved in street fights, he was slightly homophobic, and he does have a mean, agressive vein to him. And it's fascinating to see how he lived such a life in hell and did so many wrongs and was actually sent to jail for almost his whole life for two feats he was obviously and blatantly not guilty for, and just because he was black.

I've got a book on Martin Scorsese to read, and then both of Pat Riley's books. I'll be back once I get through those. :)

Stones by Timothy Findley

Currently reading The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks. It's a sci-fi novel that throws at least a dozen ideas at the reader per page whether they are required or not and often without a complete explanation as to the importance or lack of importance of said ideas. It was a bit of a struggle to start with but now that i'm almost a third of the way into it i've found myself surprisingly gripped by the slowly developing plot. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Banks' non-sci-fi novels and have in the past tried several times and quite unsuccessfully to get to grips with his genre novels. I was a little more patient with this one and so far i'm pleased that I gave it a chance. If it continues to impress I think i'll backtrack and read his entire Culture series.

ULYSSEUS by James Joyce - By Jove, please doth kill me!!!

Selected plays by William Shakespeare - "Titus Andronicus" is hilarious in its brutality, but other ones are a bit too lethargic, like "King Lear".

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

[Mad Maggot]

I almost finish reading Invisible Monsters by Palahniuk and all I have to say is that it's hilarious, brilliant and very Chuck-ish. I probably am a bad judge at the moment, since I love it so much, but I think it's his best (and I read Fight Club, Choke, Survivor and well, Guts). Started reading it today in the afternoon and I think I'll just have to finish it before I go to bed, or I won't be able to fall asleep.

[p1phillips]

"The Suspect" by Michael Robotham. About 200-odd pages into it, and I'm not very impressed. Lots of rambling on by the main character about personal issues, and its getting on my nerves. I thought I was picking up a thriller when I bought it. Oh well. Just purchased "Faithless" by Karin Slaughter, which I'm very much looking forward to reading. Just need to finish "The Suspect" first.

[cerealkiller182]

I just finished Chuck Barris's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and I'm reading Good Omens by Neil Gaimen and Terry Prachett right now.

If youre reading Lunar Park read Kings latest coloumn in EW. Apparently in some interview Ellis admitted that Park was partly an homage to King (probably with The Dark Half parallel). King having no idea then decided to read it even though he wasnta fan of Ellis's work. He found that he really liked the book
