Just finished readin "The Church of Dead Girls" - Stephen Dobyns
It was... a little too graphic at points, otherwise a good, chilling read.

Now re-reading Jane Eyre for the third time this month :D

Vietnam: The Australian War by Paul Ham I've read most of this books.

Don't know why though, he tends to rambe on and go off into tangents.

The Bronze Horseman - Paullina Simons.

It's good, not the best. The story drags on quite abit and its very repetitive. Apart from that I like it. :)

I refuse to read the Twilight serious now as it's become so mainstream like Harry Potter, and everyone's jumping the bandwagon. :rolleyes:
... and?
that doesn't make it less awesome.
Harry Potter is and will be one of the most brilliant stories EVER. As will be Twilight in my opinion.
Why not read something just because a lot of other people are? I don't get it.
Wouldn't the fact that everybody is raving about it be more of an incentive to read it?

Yeah, it doesn't. It's a matter of personal preference; I found Harry Potter okay, until there was this massive fad and that was pretty gross. I guess I'm alternative. :p
haha... just want to be different then?

K... so I've been avoiding the twilight series, a few of my friends hated it...
BUT... I started reading Twilight on Sunday night, finished it early Monday morning (7am-ish) and then read new moon all day Monday.
Fark it's addictive. Waiting til Thursday afternoon (i.e. after Chemistry exam), I'll let myself read the next book then.
