What Book Are You Reading? - Part VII

“Let the Right One In” - John Ajvide Lindqvist

One of my favorite movies of all time in novel format. It’s…wow…But I’m not sure if it’s everyone’s cup of tea. I’ll probably start reading “The Dead Zone” by Stephen King next.

the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan. i’m only on the fifth book right now.

hey atomsk, i didn’t know “let the right one in” was a book. it’s one of my favorite movies. i’ll have to look for it at the library

I’m reading several books right now.

Fiction:
“The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka

Nonfiction:
“A Short History of the United States” by Robert V. Remini

“A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn

“Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy” by Robert M. Hazen and James Trefil

Neither did I, but when I went to Barnes & Noble, they had it on the same shelf as Stephen King, so I bought that instead of one of his books. Basically, it has everything that happened in the movie, plus more. More characters introduced, more plotlines (With flashbacks), and a ton more. It also has tons of homoerotica in it, just to warn you. Normally, it doesn’t really bother me, but…wow…Lindqvist isn’t afraid to hold back in this book. The book is still a masterpiece though.

Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov

I love his style, and want to read some more of this books.

Just finished The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan…

Now I plan on reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

I finished The Metamorphosis last night. What a surreal, yet strangely realistic, story.

Just picked up Lucid Dreams in 30 Days from the library the other day. Anyone here familiar with it?

Darn.
Postpone And Then There Were Done (AKA 10 little indians)

I’m reading The Alchemyst… by… er, I don’t know.

Paulo Coelho. Why does everyone but his own nation dig this book?

The Field by Lynne McTaggart

Dracula by Stoker.

Magicians Apprentice by Trudy Canavan

i dont read by ralph walser

By Allen Ginsberg, The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice: First Journals and Poems, 1937-1952.

A wonderful read so far. Well, no, haha, I need to stop describing things as wonderful and fantastic and awesome.

Parts of it remind me of my own journal that I kept at a younger age, but those parts come and go in waves – he changes his writing style and focus as he grows up from age 11 to 16 to 19 to 22. I’m only on page 35, FYI, but I feel sort of connected to Mr. Ginsberg already. I also feel as thought I was more “connected” to his 14 year-old self more so than his ~16 year-old self. What that says about me I don’t know, but yeah, I’m enjoying my introduction to his thoughts.

also reading (with less focus) Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley

Just finished Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, starting Native Son by Richard Wright

Since my last post seems to have been deleted … (i think …)
Finished The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson 10/10

Doing a research for scholarship on secret societies, as part of my preliminary work towards my graduation thesis (“The Devil in International Relations”). Figured I’d read the actual corpus of secret and occult stuff during holidays. Through with Lesser and Greater keys of Solomon, as well as most commentary on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn along with its subsequent twists (the AA and Crowley’s OTO). Now reading:

Liber Null, by Pete Carroll;
Oven-Ready Chaos, by Phil Hine;
Aspescts of Evocation, ditto;
Ritual Magic Workbook, by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki;
The Voudon Gnostic Workbook, by Michael Bertiaux.

Also, because I have a sense of humour, I’m taking the opportunity to reread Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
