    The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Friends have been singing Neil Gaiman's praises for years and after finishing my first book by him, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, I totally get why. I'm absolutely on a Neil Gaiman kick that probably won't end until I've devoured all of his work. Must read all the creepy whimsicalness!

    Read Neverwhere if you haven't gotten there yet.

    I personally never cared for American Gods either but that's just me.

    Just finished rereading Harry Potter. Almost finished with The Night Circus by Erin Mortgenson. Recently read a few steampunk novels by Stephen Hunt, have the next one on hold at my local library! Next book I'm reading is Map of Time by Felix Palma.

    I'm currently enrolled in a Young Adult Literature class so I'm reading Divergent (and, no, I'm not cheating and watching the movie). I'll be starting The Kite Runner soon (in graphic novel form). For my own personal enjoyment, I'm re-reading Armand, a book from the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.

    I am currently working my way through the Game of Throne series, again. After I guess I'll reread the Silo Series. One of these days I'll buy the Dark Tower books on my kindle and read all those, again. :smile:

    War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars by Andrew Carroll

    Here's the description:

    Here are letters from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf war, Somalia, and Bosnia -- dramatic eyewitness accounts from the front lines, poignant expressions of love for family and country, insightful reflections on the nature of warfare. Amid the voices of common soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, nurses, journalists, spies, and chaplains are letters by such legendary figures as Gen. William T. Sherman, Clara Barton, Theodore Roosevelt, Ernie Pyle, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Julia Child, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, and Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Sr. Collected in War Letters, they are an astonishing historical record, a powerful tribute to those who fought, and a celebration of the enduring power of letters.

    Though I had read this previously, it was so compelling I feel it is worth re-reading. Sometimes the situations were so gut-wrenching I had to put it down for a bit, but I had to go back to see what happened.

    I love the Dark Tower series! Susannah is my hero, she's such a bad *kitten* & one of the only characters to survive all eight books!

    I am not a big fan of most fiction. The last book I read was non-fiction: The Daughters of Isis - about women in ancient Egypt. I loved it. Before that was a textbook from my husband's Anthropology class, LOL - such a nerd. The last fiction was an old sci-fi: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin. I liked it enough to read to the end - I don't make it too far into most fiction work, so that's a thumbs up for me. Happy reading, People! :drinker:
