    I read "Historian" it was so long. I liked parts of it, but felt that it didn't really go anywhere.

    *cracks knuckles* Ok! I just went to the book store!
    So, this is my recent stock pile!

    Current readings:
    The biggest secret by David Icke (conspiracy/aliens/ect)
    The graveyard book by Neil Gaiman (a rewrite of the Jungle book) Fun fluff reading!

    Next In my line up is:
    The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (classic)
    Good omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet (funny fictional story about the end of the world)
    Wurthering Heights by Emily Bronte (classic)
    The inferno by Dante Alighieri (classic)

    It seems I have quite a few classic books this time. :)

    It happens. I have to be careful or I'd read all the time. I read a lot of non-fiction/educational but I'm splurging why I have the time.

    I'm almost done with it. I kinda like it (says the girl who reads Ancient Civilizations textbooks when she's bored :laugh: ). Lots of fillers but it's doing a good job of entertaining me. :smile:

    Anne Rice kills me. Talk about long. Loved her books just wanted to condense them somewhat.

    Good Omens is one of my favorite books. If you like it I highly recommend The Gates by John Connolly. Though not in the same vein as GO Connolly also wrote The Book of Lost Things. It's beyond excellent and possibly wins my favorite of all time.

    I'm reading the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire, The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. They are very good (if you can relate to it, especially).

    I love Anne Rice's books too, but yeah, they're long. :happy: Too bad she didn't have any sequels to The Mummy.

    Currently between two books. "Tortured Artists" whose authors escape me, but it's just blurbs about various famous people who had problems that ended up actually improving their work. And "The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls" by Emilie Autumn, a part biography, part historical fiction book that talks about her bad past, the time she spent in a psych ward, and what she eventually gained from it and her illness. The fictional story of "Emily (with a "y")" inbetween is more an introduction into the world she creates in her music.

    Historian was one of the few books I seriously contemplated giving up on......I rarely quit on a book but this one tempted me.....it would have been so much more!

    I am "reading" the third Steig Larsson by audiobook - really good to listen while doing some ironing - so reading and burning a few calories all in one go! Also the second Hilary Mantell "Bring Up the Bodies" - you need to read Wolf Hall first to make good sense of it all, but both are good to read as proper book or listen to and we still have the third book in the trilogy to look forward to.

    Yeah that was me too. But I'm a bit OCD and can't not finish a book.

    I had to quit Anne Rice, too much history. I get lost in it all and as they go on my eyes tend to glaze over and I realize that I don't remember what I just read!
