    I'm reading "A Long Way Down," by Nick Hornby. It's about four strangers who coincidentally show up in the same place at the same time to commit suicide and what happens next. I'm loving it so far.

    I haven't read any HP yet. I just realized I really, really love the movies this year, but I know if I read any of the books before I see all the movies, they'll be ruined for me. So after I watch the last movie, I'll read the books. :-)

    Right now, I'm reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes Volume II. I finished Volume I a few weeks ago. LOVE IT!

    This book is fantastic. It took me a while to read because I couldn't take it with me on the bus due to its size, but it really is amazing and the action never lets up for a moment.

    I just finished THE MIST, and I just started DREAMCATCHER by Stephen King.
    I la-la-love all of his books, and so far it has been very good.

    so intersting you mentioned Stephen... I just bought, and devoured in one sitting, his newest collection of short stories: Full Dark, No Stars. Compared to his others, it is more dark and graphic than usual, but it held me captive until I finished it.

    The final short story, A Good Marriage, was extremely intense and I could not read it fast enough!

    (oh and btw I scored the hardcover on Amazon for under $12!! Yay!)

    Just bought a new book this weekend called, Low Red Moon. It's a werewolf murder mystery. I know it's a stretch. I'm already over halfway done.

    Every time I read King, I have nightmares for weeks after. Therefore, I no longer read him! :-)

    He's a fantastically talented writer, though.

    After the seventh book came out I read all of the Harry Potter books, minus the first, so that no one could possibly ruin the ending for me, as I'd been watching the movies as they came out since the second.

    So, of course, in the vein of the new Potter film's release, I read Deathly Hallows this week, and last night I started The Box man. It's by a Japanese author, Kobo Abé. I'm still trying to figure out what to make of it. My friend who lent it to me told me that all of his friends to whom he lends it always give it back to him with a hearty "Eff you, man".

    I can't tell if it's about a dude who just lives in a cardboard box or if he walks around with it over his head, as well. Though I am only a few pages into it, so of course it's all only exposition right now.

    Right now I'm reading the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. I'm on Shopaholic and Sister right now. I still have to buy Shopaholic and Baby and Mini Shopaholic to finish the set.

    I have read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo books- they are AMAZING!! I'm in the middle of a re-read of a Dan Brown book (Deception Point) and I'm probably gonna start re-reading Harry Potter as well caus I'm going to see it tonight, yay! A really hilarious book is 'Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes although I don't know if non-Irish people might get some of the humour.

    For all those that like fantasy-type stuff, there's two series of books I would recommend- the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix and The Sword of Truth (eleven books in all!) by Terry Goodkind.

    I've read lots of his books-they're all so good, real page-turners and there always a twist that you never see coming!

    I would advise if you start to read his books to find out what order they're in, he has a recurring character in several of them -Myron Bolitar- so it's easiest to read those ones in order (otherwise you'll find out important plot details like I did which spoils the earlier ones) and then he'll usually write maybe every second or third one with characters just for that book.
