I'm currently reading "Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by the amazing author Haruki Murakami. So far it's perfect

I'm reading the 8½ screenplay. The introduction, commentaries, and interviews are just fascinating. It's amazing how complex this film is.

I'm still reading Liseys story...in fits and bursts. Does anyone else find it extremely boring? I like Kings style of writing and the type of language he uses but I dont know, I just come away from each reading and think, god this is interminably dull. I think I'll stop but then i think, some of it is excellent and feel compelled to carry on.
Bah, I'll probably keep with it until I decide upon the next book to read...

Reading through Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman right now. A lot of great short stories in there, a couple of mediocre ones. After that I think I'll either read Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury or Don Quioxte. (finally)

Now I'm reading Violence & Genger Reexamined by Richard B. Felson and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami. Both great stuff!

I started reading Easy Riders, Raging Bulls a couple days ago. I am on about page 67 right now and it is so interesting. I am right at the end of the crazy ass story that is "the making of Easy Rider". So much interesting stuff, I cannot wait to finish this. I loved the film too, by the way.  |

Reading two things right now. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman for myself and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou for school.
Love Good Omens, as I love both authors. It is so funny. There is a section of the book where Satanic nuns help a couple give birth to the Antichrist, and convince them to name the child Warlock. Just amazingly funny.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is well written, but I find it pretty dry.

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse  Mister God, This is Anna by "Fynn" for the frigging hundredth time. I can't get enough, this is such a simple masterpiece of a book.  |

I just started reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and I am only about ten pages in. I really look forward to reading it. One of my teachers said it was his favorite book ever.

It's really amazing. I loved it, we did it last year or the year before, I think. Enjoy it very very much.

I've started Esay Riders, Raging Bulls once before but never finished it, but i really keep meaning to read it. What i have read really is interesting stuff. At the moment i have a cinema book that interviews 21 directors working today. Should be good.

I started reading Jeffrey Deavers latest, the cold moon a few days back. How does this guy write in such a formulaic manner yet still spin, intriguing, unique and fascinating novels? His work amazes me. Great story teller, as good as King.

At the moment i have a cinema book that interviews 21 directors working today. Should be good. it is definitely worth finishing, i am sure you will love the rest. it made me really sad when it ended, since the real people in the book almost felt like characters to me in a novel, and i wanted to find out what was still happening with them. what is that book you are reading called, it sounds really interesting? (i have no clue what book i am going to start reading now.) |

Heh, funny. I just finished night shift and plan to start the new-ish Mark Haddon book called a spot of bother. Author who wrote the curious incident of the dog in the night if anyone if familiar...

"it's minor Dickens. what is it about high school that you read all the worst books by good authors?" lol, no, haven't read it, but i felt like quoting The Squid and the Whale. haha, very nice. i used that quote a couple times talking with ptahole around the time i showed him the film. man, i really like that film the more i think about it. hopefully "minor dickens" is still great. |

I'm reading Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. It's certainly no Ender's Game, but it's quite good so far.
