Peter F Hamiton - The Dreaming Void
 
I just finished High Society by Ben Elton and Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis. I really enjoyed them. Might go to a bookstore tomorrow and check out the new releases or grab a classic from a second hand store. Thinking about buying Moby Dick or something by Graham Greene.

If You Liked School, You'll love work - Irvine Welsh

Bought this today. One of my favourite authors. Can't wait to get stuck into it.
 
I don't know if this has been said before because I havent been on for a while and am not reading all of the pages here.....

but I am reading THE GOD DELUSION by RICHARD DAWKINS...

it is for entertainment and confirmation... because I am an atheist... and proud of it... and lots of people are as well... so take that religious peeps... lol...



seriously... god is dead
 
psycosynthesis... thats a relief. I've enjoyed all his books but it's still good to know it'll be another top read by Welshy :D

XxParadoxX... hows it going so far?
 
i finished Jeff Lindsays "darkly dreaming dexter" and moved on to F Paul Wilsons "The Tomb"

highly recommend dexter, especially the TV series. its probably the only time when the show is better than the book :)

SM101: A Realistic Introduction -Jay Wiseman

If you're into BDSM, this is a must. Lots of really good information, spelled out in a very honest and fun to read way.

Completely changed the way I view my new hobby.
 
Life in his hands by Susan Wyndham.

About the Australian Neurosurgeon Dr. Charlie Teo and his patient pianist Aaron McMillan who had a diagnosed inoperatable brain tumor. I really don't like bringing anything work related home. I can't even stand watching any medical shows though a friend recommended it and i'm pleasantly surprised
 
I'm reading Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck. It's the sequel to Cannery Row which is one of the quirkiest, charming books I've ever read. Something you'd expect from a British, not an American author. I don't think this book is as good but that doesn't mean it isn't great.

Last weekend I finished the last book I was reading and also read Lord of the Flies by William Golding which was not as good as I expected, it's way over-hyped, and I read Ben Elton's Blind Faith The Elton book was typically brilliant but I think it was a little too derivative of the books it pays homage to (Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World, and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451).
 
I just finished Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis. I think I was the only person I knew amongst my 'reading' friends who didn't really get this man. I kinda liked - it's okay - unsure - I could finish it - hmmmm - about America Psycho and Less Than Zero, but absolutely LOVED this book, and for some reason it put the other two into perspective.

There was never a dull moment. Far from wanting to speed read or gloss over sections, I was nearly always disappointed when the section about that particular character finished. The way that it was composed, with the different characters coming in and out with their stories throughout the book, worked because it left me always wanting more.

Beyond style though, I found the conversations between characters were witty. Granted, it was shameless wit, base humour, but fuck I've missed that kind of dialogue in novels.

I found ROA to be dirty, nasty, painful, heart-rending and humorous. There was a continuity and self involvement that I didn't find with his other works but I'll definitely keep reading the other things he's put out.
 
I'm reading Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Due to the look of the ad of the movie of it I didn't see, I kind of subconsciously wrote it off as a cheesy romance novel. But I'm loving it so far, it's really well written and wordy. And the story is well presented as well, jumping around between lots of characters, but not in a hard to follow annoying way. The diary excerpts of a gay soldier are brilliant.
 
i've nearly finished "The Gangland War", the book on the Underbelly Tv series. it's a nice easy read, as ive only picked it up 5 or 6 times (once or twice for less than 30mins), so it sucks me in pretty well.

might finish it off a bit later tonight

I love that book so much I've now bought it three times. Once because I gave it away to a guy in a pub, my second copy was "lent" to a friend so long ago I gave up on getting it back. I've only just got my hands on another one and it's never leaving my bookshelf again.

I'm reading Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf at the moment. It's something that I have to be in the exact right mood to appreciate and if your mind wanders away from the story for a few sentences I swear to god you'll have no idea what she's talking about when you snap back to it. It's the beauty and the curse.

Due to the above, I'm going to the book store tomorrow to buy the first firsthand book I've purchased for myself in as long as I can remember because I keep finding references to it everywhere. It's called My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead and it's a collection of short stories about love written by some kickass people and selected by Jeffrey Eugenides who wrote the Virgin Suicides. Proceeds also go to a youth writing program in Chicago. I am all prepared to fall head over heels in love.
