I suppose you meant And Then There Were None? I freaking like it! I like Agatha Christie as well. I'm rereading all her books I have as light readings, as I'm restraining myself from downloading or buying any books until my midterm break comes. Right now it's Sparkling Cyanide.

I'm again reading Wittgenstein's "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" and the "Tao Te Ching." I progress slowly...very very slowly.

Just came home from Barnes&Noble with
The Art of Rozz Williams. One of those "coffee table" books, but don't let your grandmother read it! Disturbing and shocking photos. I love it.
Man, that guy was an awesome art-ist.

Yeah! Actually I did! Very much so... Apart from the epilogue. I mean, it wasn't awful, just made me cringe a little. But all in all, I thought it was good. =D

That's exactly what I was thinking. There was no need for that end bit.
& the names he gave them were a bit cheesy.

I've never been much of a Potter fan, but that could be a result of suffering through way too many years of jokes on my name (Harry) and the fact that my initials are H.P.
I'm currently starting on Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire, I like her portrayel (sp?) of vampires, it is an interesting change.

BH - it's "portrayal". Anyway, I absolutely agree with you; I was absolutely fascinated with the first four books or so, mainly because of the characters (esp. Claudia and Lestat).
At the moment I'm reading "Angélique" by Sergeanne Golon and (re- reading) Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Grey". I just can't get enough of that book.
