I am now reading "Emma". Got to love Jane Austen. It's really making me wish I were born a century-and-a-half ago. So is all the Keats poetry I've been reading lately. Gggahhh... WHERE IS MY TIME MACHINE?!

"Memnoch the Devil" by Anne Rice. I have yet to get through a Vampire Chronicles book, but this one seems to be holding my interest.

*"Robert & Mabel Williams Resource Guide" [Freedom Archives] [because I want to].

Terry Pratchett - Wyrd Sisters
I've started it yesterday night. What can I say, Pratchett is just the ideal contrast to all these scientific books I work with during the day. They never get boring.

I just finished "Interview with a vampire" I was suprised at the accuracy of the movie. I mean, it wasn't perfect, but it was closer than most movies based on books get. Im a little quiet around here, cause Im reading. I get sucked into books and can't put them down until I have finished them.

Thanks, I'm going to read the whole series of "The Vampire Chronicles". They're really interesting.

I'm reading "The Vampire Lestat". I loved "Interview with the Vampire". Anne Rice is becoming one of my fave authors.

I just finished re-reading Horace Walpole's "the Castle of Otranto", which many believe to be the first piece of gothic literature. Anyone that enjoys Poe's mysteries should enjoy this work, and it is only about one hundred pages.

im reading, two books
Alan F. Troop - A Host of Dragons
Stuart Woods - Dark Harbor
both are pretty excellent, so it was difficult to decide which to read first. So in the end i just decided to read both.

hm... I just finished 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and now I need a new book. I think I'll go for 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Regained' by John Milton, but on the other hand I want to read the Kama Sutra finally...
hm...

Finished Lawrence Durrell's "The Black Book". Dark, intelligent, educated.
Reading "The Traveller" by John Twelve Hawks. So far (the first 100 pages) intriguing and intelligent.
