Finished Anne Rice's Blood Canticle recently. Trying to find something new to read at the moment. This thread has given me alot of good new ideas.

Mine is probably boring to everyone else (and I don't have a pic of it), but it's called "The Myth of Sanity: Divided Consciousness and the Promise of Awareness" by Martha Stout. Here's a link to it...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...278553-2858211


Just in case anyone is too busy/doesn't want to click on the link, the book is about a study Martha Stout did (as a clinical psychologist) about people with multiple personality disorder- now called Dissociative Identity Disorder- and traumatic events that happened to them, and how their level of awareness of everything is much higher than people who have led "normal" lives. It's fascinating stuff really.

I loooooved Lovely Bones... couldnt put it down, I cried too... but it was so well written. I'm hoping i Love Girls Guide... just as much

Since we seem to have similar taste in books - any other recommended reads?? 8)

 

[GoldieLox]

hmmm.. although i have not read them notebook and white oleander have been said to be really wonderful.

i just read one called where the light comes in. and it was pretty good.

im working on one right now.. just started it last night that is called somthing about a timetravelers i dunno ill have to look when i get home but ill let you know how that one is..

if you have not read "my sisters keeper" then you must. its superb. its right up there with lovely bones. it is by jodi picoult. ive yet to read her other ones but hear they are awesome.

i also dont know if you like wierd books but if you do then chuck palinuk or whatever his name is .. his books are really good. Examples of his books are fight club, choke and more. but choke was really good i havnt read all of his tho.

Hey Chelsea, you could try Ring and Spiral by Koji Suzuki, in English translation. Very scary though!

requiem for a dream is the hardest book to read. the lack of puncuation sucks.

i'm reading the secret life of salvador dali right now

[JessieC]

If i want a good laugh i will read any trashy british romance novel, like confessions of a shopaholic or any book by Jane Green.

I also LOVED Devil wears Prada.

If you like history I honestly would recommend Devil in the White City and 1906. Both incredibly written, the first being non-fiction and the second is fiction based on fact. Both great reads.

I just Finished the Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant. Again, fiction based from facts, but so well written you dont really consider the fact that a lot of the information actually is true.

 

[iiifugaziii]

I just started good ol' Franny and Zooey again
