Barack Obama - Dreams from my Father
I'm up just over a hundred pages. It's a very interesting, uplifting and well written book. It's so cool to read his own story in his own words uncensored. He really has come from a long road of obstacles. Amazing, amazing person. Not like I know him, but you get the idea. I'm up to about the point when he is a Jr. in College.

Scott M. Peck - People of the Lie The Hope for Healing Human Evil
I can't begin to tell you how interesting this book is.

Holy cow, how can you keep track of how many books you have read in a year? I would have no idea.


Get a LibraryThing or Good Reads account. I would have no idea how many books I read if it weren't for keeping track of it online.



Exactly. I heart goodreads.

Last night I finished RISEN by J Knight
and started The Traveling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon.
The Academy - Bentley Little
Dark Terrors 6 - Jones & Sutton
Fears Unnamed - Tim Lebbon
The Keep - F Paul Wilson (This was a re-read)
Just After Sunset - Stephen King


I Just finished The Traveling Vampire Show! For any of you out there that like horror fiction, I just thought I would update you on it. I really recommend this one, it was a fast and fun read. I am not a huge Richard Laymon fan; I've read a couple I liked and a couple I really disliked. (The Woods are Dark? Lame.) I totally dug this book though and it very much exceeded my expectations. Laymon is still a little obsessed with boobs and booty, but otherwise the story, characters, and action were great.

Just started Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, which I like so far. I just finished Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay, which I really could not put down.

It is actually a really, really great read. I couldn't even make up some of the stories in there.
I even like Heroin Diaries better. Get it next!

I'm reading "Downtown Owl" by Chuck Klosterman right now and then I've got "One Bullet Away" up next. Generation Kill was so awesome that I pretty much have to read it.

Wow! I just gulped down The Dead Letters by Tom Piccirilli in two big bites. It was really good! I had never read anything by this author before, and will make a point to read more. It was a thriller with a tiny soupçon of the supernatural.

Choose Your Own Adventure (On Drugs)

The smell of cotton candy and popcorn mixes with that of hay, manure, and the four Sparks you downed in the parking lot. The large woman in front of you is wearing leopard print stretch-pants that have long since abandoned the category of “pants” and ventured into the realm of “ass shrink-wrap.” The elastic quivers, as if longing to be released. You barely suppress the urge to snap the waistband, which would surely set off a tsunami of fat that would kill all those surrounding yo-

Just for kicks, I'm re-reading Bukowski's "Most Beautiful Girl in Town". It's funny.
