1) I'm currently reading a nonfiction book "The Serial Killer Files". It's a true crime type book that compiles info about well known serial killers
2) If you like that sort of thing, and don't mind reading things that are kind of graphic/disturbing.
3) Really haven't read a lot in a while... "Metro Girl" by Janet Evanovich was good. It's not in the Stephanie Plum series, but it's still funny.

i just got done with the uglies/pretties/specials/extras books :) SO good.
i'm not reading anything at the moment, but i want to start reading something so this was a great topic!
i wrote down a lot of books to check out of the library tomorrow.

Ooh, those are good! I read those a while back and fell in love. You should read Scott Westerfield's other stuff (I probably got his name wrong).
So Yesterday is good, and I can't remember the others.

It was close enough xD! I get it wrong all the time, ahah. It's westerfeld :P

I'll write that one down at the top of my list, YAYY. Thank you!

1. Reading From Dead to Worst By Charlaine harris.

2. If you like the True Blood show than yes but start with the first book Dead until Dark.

3. Uh anything bu Jane Green is good. Even the guy who did Fight Club is good too.

Actually, I just have one going right now. Promise Not to Tell by Jennifer McMahon. I'm maybe 50 pages in to it.

I found this description... Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother who's afflicted with Alzheimer's. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered - a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del - shunned and derided by classmates as "Potato Girl" - was brutally slain. Del's killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as this new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying, unexpected ways. Because nothing is quite what it seems...and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten.

More than just a murder mystery, Jennifer McMahon's extraordinary debut novel, Promise Not to Tell, is a story of friendship and family, devotion and betrayal - tautly written, deeply insightful, beautifully evocative, and utterly unforgettable.

I really like it so far.

Here are a few that I really liked.

If I die before I wake (Han Nolan)

Aimee (Mary Beth Miller)

Cut (Patricia McCormick)

Go ask Alice (Anonymous)

The Visual Encyclopedia of Serial Killers (Nigel Blundell & Susan Blackhall)

Cannibal: The True Story Behind the Maneater of Rotenburg (Lois Jones)

Stranger with my face & The Third Eye (Lois Duncan)

1984 (George Orwell)

Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit(John Douglas and Mark Olshaker)

Lucas (Kevin Brooks)

Okay... so maybe there are more than a few there, but they're good! I have way more, but I don't feel like going downstairs to look at them. :)

cut & go ask alice.
*thumbs up*
awesome YA fiction.

you know, I honestly like the YA fiction better. They have better stories! :)

If you like those, you'd love anything by Ellen Hopkins.
The entire books are all written in poem form, but I promise it's worth it. :p

i've only read crank and that was YEARS ago.
awesome book indeed.
are the other similar?

They cover different topics, but they are all similar in that they are in poem form
I just read Identical and I swear I turned into a little baby. It was hard to read, but really good, as well.

I love John Douglas' books. They're some of the most interesting books I've read.

I'm currently reading House of Chains by Steven Erikson. I'm a big fantasy/sci fi geek, and The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Erikson (House of Chains being book 4 of 10) is about as epic as it gets. Especially since each book is, at minimum, 900 pages. lol So yes, highly recommended. :D


Other recommendations:

~ Just about any book John Ringo's had his hand in. Srsly, that man is a fsking writing machine, and a damned good one at that. Specifically, The Council Wars series is great, as well as The Last Centurion (deals with an H5N1 pandemic that kills most of humanity) and Princess of Wands (modern fantasy). I'm actually not a big fan of military sci fi...or military anything, really.., but Ringo does it amazingly well.
~ Also just about any book by Robert Rankin. Good ol British humour.
~ Robyn and Rand Miller's Myst series. Yes, THAT Myst - the books that started the game empire.
~ More of anything by Steven Brust. Very humourous fantasy. Check the Vlad Taltos series first. A witch assassin with a draconic (jhereg) familiar. Oh, yes. I actually enjoy Brust's stuff so much I bought two Russian copies of his books......and I don't even understand Russian. :D
~ Neil Gaiman's American Gods. One of those books that makes you wonder about who and what people really are.

1) Just started Striptease by Carl Hiaasen
2) Legitimately just started but I've never read anything by Hiaasen that I didn't like.
3) I think the first Hiaasen book everyone should read is Stormy Weather. I just finished reading Peyton Place by Grace Metalious & Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. I loved them but they're really trashy fantastic. Bloodsucking Fiends & You Suck by Christopher Moore are hilarious. They're are tons more but I'll leave it there.

Just finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Before that, all the Sookie Stackhouse books. Next is Neil Gaimen's American Gods.

I'm on the Sookie Stackhouse books. They are somewhat addictive

One of the books I picked up is called English as a second language by Megan Crane.. so far it's HILARIOUS. I love it.

1) Reading The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and kind of continuously reading different Edgar Allen Poe stories
2) I'd recommend The White Tiger, though I'm not done it... it's pretty good so far, and my boyfriend read it before me and said it was really good.
3) If you like teen-ish fiction, then any book by Sarah Dessen is fantastic. Her new one Along For the Ride was greatttt. I'll Go To Bed At Noon - Gerard Woodward and Divisadero - Michael Ondaatje are fantastic. Voiceover by Celine Curiol was also pretty good.

Remembering the Kanji, Vol. 1: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James W. Heisig

Er, I recommend it if you are trying to learn Japanese.
It's a good self-learning tool.

Currently reading the Andre the Giant biography.

It's good if you are a big fan of the older wrestling, does kind of drag on a bit.

I recommend reading the Eddie Guerrero biography, and the Dynamite Kid biography, could not put them down! And if you aren't into wrestling, some good books I've read lately and would recommend are Feeling sorry for Celia and Finding Cassie Crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty, Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and any Janet Evanovich book.

None... I am reading the Bloop Forums. I envy all of you multitasking people. I never did quite master reading a book and web surfing.

Now I'm reading "My Shit Life So Far" by Frankie Boyle. It keeps making me laugh out loud on the train. Never a good look. But so so funny, yo! ;D

That's who you look like! Frankie Muniz!! I always thought you resembled someone. Sorry it just hit me when I saw Frankie.
