Mark Zusak, P.C. Cast, and Cornelia Funke?

I think that's Markus Zusak, isn't it? And I'm about to start on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, on account of the new movie.

my moms friend was trying to clean her house and found a book for me, it's called "Celia, a slave." by melton a mclaurin. it's a look into a muder trial in the 1850s where the a 19yr old slave girl is on trial for the murder of her owner. however she had been a victim of his sexual abuse since he first bought and raped her at age 14. the book really examines how laws of that time period applied to different people. for example theres a specific law that says how any woman has the right to defend herself from sexual exploitations. according to that celia was totally within her rights, but with the whole antislavery movements and the strong opinions of slaveowners and politics, the trial lasts for months. it's areally good, if technical and long book...

Well I can't beat the previous post for seriousness.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

I haven't gotten very far yet, though, since I haven't picked it up in a week...

Just picked up Dewey by Vicki Myron. It's very sweet, about an abandoned cat who lives in a library.

Awww! I want to read that!

I'm reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's really dense and hard to get through, but I covered more than a hundred pages on a plane ride yesterday. I really like it, but I hate Peter Keating. I'm at the part where Howard meets Dominique, so I'm really into it at this point. I really recommend it to you if you have the time, patience, and ideals, although I could end up hating it by the end. sweatdrop

I tried Atlas Shrugged, and I had the same sort of experience. I actually skipped almost all of the guy's big radio speech.

I'm about to read A Great Feast of Light by John Doyle. It sounded good to me.

I tried to read Straub's In the Night Room.. but I ended up putting it down. For Straub, this was some pretty lame stuff.

Carrie by King it's amazing...

I love King, I just finished Salem's Lot, and now i'm on to The Shining  

[GeekyTanta]

I tried reading Atlas Shrugged once, not sure why I think someone recommended it to me, but I found it so bloody boring that I gave up on it and I don't normally give up on a book once I've started it.

Just finished reading The Seven Basic Plots: Why we tell Stories by Christopher Booker. Bit of a slog with 700 pages but very interesting from both a reader and writer's pov as to the types of stories written and why we write them.

Now I've just started something light in The Digital Plague by Jeff Somers.  

[ScaryMissKari]

I'm rereading Coraline by Neil Gaiman. The movie is coming out soon.  

[kandie_kissies]

The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch
The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld
Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz

I'm gonna start on Fire and Ice by Erin Hunter once I finish those. smile
