CHRISTINE by Stephen King and HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN by J.K. Rowling.

I've had Christine on my reading list for what's felt like ages, so I'm glad I've finally started it. I'm only in about 20 pages but I'm already hooked.

And well... I'm always re-reading Potter.

I'm back to Stephen King's The Drawing of the Three: The Dark Tower II. I had started it a while back, stopped for a few months, and just a few days ago picked it back up again.

I'm currently reading very interesting books called The British Parliament, The History of the Architecture in the UK, Monarchy Today and Russian Stylistics as a Science.

My God, those are like the best books I've ever happened to read.

I'm currently reading In The Cut by Susanna Moore. I had heard it's much different, and more graphic, than the film, so thought i'd give it a try.

Right now I'm reading The Dead Zone by Stephen King. It's extremely engrossing so far and King never fails to amaze me. I think I'll be finished by the end of the week for sure.

Well, I finished my latest Stephen King book and have moved on to a book called Gun,with occasional music by Jonathan Lethem. I bought this book more or less by the plot description on the back and (just about) fifty pages into it and i'm not at all dissapointed(I mean this one is good enough for me to have finished by mid to late next week).

Finished reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Never before has a book made me physically sick, but this book did that to me.

I consider myself to have a strong stomach, but it was too much. but it was an extremely great book. not my favourite, but definitley one of the top 10.

9.5/10

Started reading Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre. not really enjoying it. too hard to understand. i've stopped reading and have taken up The Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest by Wendy Northcutt.

Hilarious shit. hard to believe people can be so stupid.

I just finished SURVIVOR by Chuck Palahniuk.

It was better than CHOKE, but not as good as INVISIBLE MONSTERS.

Up next: DIARY.

This is my third time reading it. It's his second best book IMO (American Psycho being first.)

Recently finished Watchers by Dean Koontz. A decent read, but not as good as a lot of horror fans say As a whole, it never really grabbed my attention, and the ending is anticlimatic. Why does this guy have so much trouble ending his own stories? I guess Einstein the dog was still pretty cool though, but I would have liked to see more pages devoted to the gruesome creature known as The Outsider. In short--more of the cool stuff!

I thought One Door Away from Heaven had a weak ending. But I thought that was a generally weak book anyway... The worst from Koontz I have read.

I didn't find it weak, as such. It just didn't really stand out...It was readable and I did enjoy it, but it didn't seem to be special. Oddly my girlfriend is reading it right now, and its her first Koontz novel, and she is loving it...I'll wait until shes finished, then hand her Dragon Tears. That should do the trick

Man, I can't read Dean Koontz anymore. I don't know what it is, but I just really struggle to get through one. In fact, horror books as a whole don't really do for me what they used to. I'm reading one now called "Demon Within" by Dana Reed and it's almost juvenile. Although I'm still a huge horror movie fan, my reading tastes have gone over to crime. I'm going through everything by Harlan Coben, Jonathan Kellerman, James Patterson, Dennis Lehane, Karin Slaughter....

If I speed read this horror one, I can get on to reading something by one of those authors.
