Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne-Jones

I liked the book more than the movie. I also liked the way.... oh, never mind.

I'm not really reading anything at this stage.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne-Jones

That book's good, very witty. I just recently read it aloud to my mom, my brother, and my sisters. We all liked it.

I just finished reading Lord of the Flies for English class, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm about to start reading The Screwtape Letters in English now, a book that I've read and enjoyed once before. XD I'm looking forward to starting it again.

Scratch that]Crime and Punishment[/i] again, and this time I'll finish it.

[Nozomi]

The Circle Trilogy, by Ted Dekker...
"Black"
"Red"
"White"
I'm currently in White, the last book... and the first two took about a week apiece.

Currently getting through The Great Gatsby for school and reading Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

[Azier the Swordsman]

Just finished On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King.

I'm pretty sure it's the best book on fiction writing in my library thus far.

I couldn't finish it. Skimmed a lot of it, but it was just too dark for me.

I've just finished Frozen Earth: The Once and Future Story of Ice Ages by Douglas MacDougal. It was a good read, although I was already familiar with much of the material.

I read Crime and Punishment and really enjoyed it, but no one I've ever talked to other than English teachers like it. I suppose it's only appealing to a limited audience. I like psychological sorts of books, and I was recovering from surgery when I read it, so there wasn't much I could do but lie in bed and read anyway. I identified with Raskolnikov's feverish delirium because that was sorta how I felt in the hospital.

Dark yes, but fascinating. But it's hard for many readers (myself included) to read his writing.

[mitsuki lover]

I read Crime And Punishment once when I was in my reading Dostevesky(sp?)stage.
I also read The Brothers Karamazov.
I still have my copy of TBK but find it hard to read now mainly because I am getting to the stage in life where I hate to admit it but I do find larger print easier to read.And the print in TBK is so fine.

[rocklobster]

I'm re-reading Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

[Mushishi]

I'm currently reading Gene Wolfe's Shadow of the Torturer. It's beautiful, if wordy at points. The complexity of the language can get trying, but it is written in such a way that this confounding language creates a sincere, dream-like story. I love it!!

Ah, excellent! It's a great book (though the only one of the quartet I read). I should point out, though, that you have never really read anything by Wolfe at least until you have read it a second time. To quote Neil Gaiman, "his books reshape themselves when your back is turned." Just some advice.

[Ryusei]

The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket. =D =D =D

[RedMage]

The Practice of the Presence of God, by Brother Lawrence.

[uc pseudonym]

The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology

You wouldn't think you'd get distracted reading entries in a ponderous volume such as this, but that's exactly what's been happening lately.

[mitsuki lover]

The History of the Church by some guy named Eusebius.

[bigsleepj]

On top of Crime and Punishment I'm reading Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard as well. No light reading for the next 90 days for me.

[mitsuki lover]

Eusebius is making me re-think(again)my eschatology.Certainly his writing leans to supporting the late date for Revelation.

[Etoh*the*Greato]

I am reading a book on Psychological profiles for writers. I wanna write.

[the_wolfs_howl]

I picked up The Count of Monte Cristo (by Alexandre Dumas) and I've started reading it again. I'm about the part where Dantes sets off on his mission of vengeance, so things have only just begun. It's good writing (naturally), and interesting. Once I finish it I'm going to watch an anime called Gankutsuou (or something like that ), which is supposed to be like a science fiction Count of Monte Cristo.... How do they come up with all these ideas?

[WrestlingOtaku]

I finally finished How Few Remain and I must say, it was a very good book. Now I have to find the next book in the series The Great War: American Front.

[Technomancer]

The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by Katherine N. Valentine

This book is fascinating, I really do recommend it.

Adaptive Modelling, Estimation and Fusion from Data: A Neurofuzzy Approach by Chris Harris et al.

[KBMaster]

I just finished Skin by Ted Dekker. Very unexpected ending. Good book, but it really wasn't that much different than some of his other books.

[mitsuki lover]

I stopped with Eusebius around page 250 something or other.A lot of the stuff he had in there reminded me of some of the things that are going around today.

[LittleTokyo91]

Just got finished reading 47 and Twice taken I don't remeber the authors names but 47 was a great book. Twice taken not so much.

[rocklobster]

I'm reading Book 9 of Wheel of Time.
