Currently, I am rereading a few stories from the book, Smokes and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. They still mesmerize me!

What's the premise of the book? It sounds really interesting.

Smokes and Mirrors is a book comprised of short stories and poems. Some stories are a bit confusing, but others like Tastings and Changes are imaginative. One poem, "St. Nicholas Was..." I believe is nothing I would have come up with. Don't read the stories continuously, unless you are those types that do.

I haven't had a chance to pick that up-- how is it?
By the way, I highly recommend that you go to the introductions section and introduce yourself. Not only would it be polite, but with a name like yours I imagine I would enjoy reading it.

I most likely dissapointed you. I am not that good at filling questions.
The book itself is actually quite intriguing. I suggest picking it up.

Nope-- no disappointment here, I promise.

I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha at last. It's such a good read & I recomend it to anyone.
Next on my reading list is The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. I studied a short story based on it for my exams earlier this year & I watched the film, though I'm sure the book is much better.

She_Is_My_Sin, I've read The Joy Luck Club in school once. I do recommended it, about a girl growing up in communist China. It's as if you are growing up with her, that much impact it has placed on me. But then again, I read to deeply.

I have seen that book countless times and have always seemed to have gone with something else. What is it about?

Twilight is the most awesome book in this whole entire fricken UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a vampire romance and a very good one at that. It's better than any Anne Rice book, Stephan King book, or any other author you can think of. Here's a link if you wish to take a look see: http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Steph...e=UTF8&s=books
-and for all you Twilght fans out there, this is the sequel which is just as good but much sadder and dramatic (in case you haven't read it already): http://www.amazon.com/New-Moon-Steph...e=UTF8&s=books
To anyone who has not read this book then you are seriously missing out on a big part of life. I just got finished reading New Moon for the 200th time and I'm still not finished with it!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you're not a romance fan, I strongly suggest that you read this book. If you don't then suck my poo!

Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. Good read, so far...
I liked the name... there are obvious signs that this was inspired by the unfinished epic poem by Keats...

One reallly good book (though not as good as Twilight) is A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Brey. Tis beith my 2nd favorite book along with it's seqeul Rebel Angels! I read those not too long ago as well.
The one book I just finished reading was called Dancing on the Edge and it's also my second favorite book. It's really good and for some reason it kind of reminds me of Flowers for Algernon-which is a really great book-even though the stories have no relation.

I've finished 'The Devils Footsteps'.
Awesome book.
And now I am reading the infamous 'Inkheart' that my friend has been wanting me to read for some time.
Its quite dull at the moment.

I just finished reading "Perfect World" by Brian James. I love books from the company Push. But Brian James is brilliant!!!! It was a really good book.

I just finished Temple of the Winds, so I'm about to start Soul of the Fire. It's not my favorite book in the Sword of Truth series, but it is part of the series, so...
It's okay, though, the next book is my favorite, so it more than makes up for this one.
