God, I don't blame you, the second book of Wuthering Heights is boooooring.

My friend bought me the first edition of Fables for my birthday. Pretty neat from what I've read, but that's not particularly a lot.

I finished How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming over the weekend, it was a good book. I always thought Neil deGrasse Tyson killed Pluto but it seems he accidentally has become the name associated with it. I recommend the book for any astronomy fans though. 

 

Now I'm about 100 pages into rereading The Sight. This must be my third or fourth time reading this book since Junior High. My name is even written on the inner cover in my old, crappy handwriting.

Halfway through The Mist, just finished The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks a few days ago. Probably going to read The Stand, then maybe go get some new books.

That's so weird, I just saw the Mist for the first time on Netflix a day or two ago. It's really good imo. :)

 

Just about to start the third book in the Canticle for Leibowitz trilogy. Quite excited iidss.

I can't speak for the books, which I've heard are pretty good, buy I didn't really care for the film...

I found a decent vampire series in my sad, small school library. It was in my middle school library too. It's called the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. Practically no romance, and still a better love story than Twilight.

Now I'm into Edgar Allan Poe's Extraordinary Tales. Not sure if I'm not sensible at all, or if it isn't just as terrifying as I expected.

So whether it's right in front of you or on your backlog, what comics are you reading? For me, I'm still hanging on to Birds of Prey.

I wonder if part of it is that we're just so bloody desensitized.

Rereading The Sight by David-Clement Davis.

 

I got The Magicians by Lev Grossman for Christmas so I'll probably read that next... I read too much fantasy probably, haha.

Planning to start Song of Achilles soon. Anyone here know anything helpful I should know about it beforehand? Other than it being a gay romance novel with that old greek/such setting.

I have been reading Head First Design Patterns Eric Freeman, Elisabeth Robson, Bert Bates and Kathy Sierra.

It is an amazing book about Design Patterns in Java (works with C# and other languages, as well). It is both very informative and entertaining. 

 

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey.

A book that I am reading for an assignment for an elective I am taking (Soft Skills).

 

The Call Of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft.

I know that this is a very short story, but I had to put it on hold because I have so much studying to do. :( I read the first two chapters and I still have the last chapter left. I finished the first two chapters a few weeks ago, so I am thinking about reading them again before reading the third chapter. :( I was really enjoying this short story.

 

I was reading The Stand by Stephen King, but then my Soft Skills instructor informed us that students that read 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People and answer a series of questions about the book in an interview with her will get extra. So, I unfortunately had to put The Stand on hold, even though I was really enjoying it. :(

Good for you, with H2G2!

 

I need to start a new book; I just keep getting addicted to YouTube.
