I just picked up and started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies today. It's Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, only this time with zombies.

I just finished Ender's Game, and it was absolutely amazing. I wouldn't let any children of mine read it, though. . .

I'm currently back on Crime and Punishment. I had a few detours. >_>

That book looks hysterical. My uncle is an English teacher, and he recommended this book to me. Anyway, I'm kind of in between books right now. I'm planning to get to "Odd Hours" eventually, as I love that series. I also have to read The Book Thief for summer reading, but it's supposed to be pretty good, so whatever.

I'm not reading anything at the moment. I'm not much of a book person. I prefer magazines and forums. :P

Currently reading "The Last House in the Galaxy" by Andy Secombe. It has quite a few funny moments and feels remarkably English. It slightly reminds me of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

Odd Hours is decent. The only one in that series I didn't care for too much was Brother Odd. I really didn't like what was going on in the monastery, too far fetched.

I'm very early in, so I can't really say. It reads like a classic, though, so it's kinda hard for me to adjust to and get into because I've been reading nothing but modern novels lately.

Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Storie by Algernon Blackwood

Let me tell you something, it seems awfully odd reading a couple of books with quotes by H.P. Lovecraft espousing their greatness.

How ironic. I'm currently reading the Zombie Survival Guide. I'm also reading The Amber Spyglass, but that doesn't really demand my attention at all.

Eknath Easwaran's translation of the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishadic text found in the Mahabharata, one of the two "epics" that go along with the four Vedas.

I am so buying Ender's Game now. I've been meaning to for a while, but this seals the deal. On-topic: I'm currently 50 pages away from the end of Rose Madder (Very, VERY good read. It just got better the further it went on. I recommend it to anyone). I need to choose between "Misery", "Gerald's Game" and "Salem's Lot" all by Stephen King :P

I've read a lot of Palahniuk. Lullaby was an interesting story. If you really want to read some good C.P., Fight Club, Choke, and Survivor are my favorite of his.

Yeah, they're all pretty good, but The Flood is really the black sheep of the series.

I finished that book not too long ago. I liked it a lot, plus now I know more about whales and whaling than I ever wanted to.

Foucault's Pendulum is what I am currently reading.

I started reading The Vampire Lestat the other day, very impressed so far. I also ordered the Ender Quartet (Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind), 1984, Eragon and Eldest yesterday.

I have already read Ender's Game and was very, very impressed. I can't wait to read the sequels, and then the Shadow's series after.

Edit: Aaronmullan, I have read Salem's Lot and loved it. One of my favourite King books.

I'm reading Beneath the Surface, which is Michael Phelps's autobiography. It's pretty interesting so far. But then again I'm a swimmer so I find all the random swimming stuff he talks about interesting. :P

I am reading loads of books on music as me and some friends are forming a band and I wanted to brush up on my music history (plus I find it interesting).

Almost finished with Sound of the Beast...


About 100 pages into Lords of Chaos.

And my copy of Swedish Death Metal arrived a few days ago. Haven't started yet.

EDIT: Can't forget this! Borrowed it from a good friend today.

While we here, can anyone recommend me a real creepy story (no Dean Koonz). One of those ones where you're not quite sure what's happening but nasty stuff is going on, maybe it's supernatural.

Not IT, not The Stand, seen the films of those can't be arsed to read the book. Not a short story either, a novel.
