Poppy Z. Brite - Exquisite corpse ( It was a present. ), so far it's pretty shitty.

I thought it was a bit overpriced for its content, but I expect my brother (who gave it to me) paid for the packaging - glossy pages, photos, etc. Its not bad for DIY 101 on a budget, which it what I suppose its purpose is. The picture frame ideas were the only thing I'd consider doing, and yet I'd rather hunt down good deals on actual antique frames.

The Road--Cormac McCarthy
My mother bought this book shortly after it came out and I always wanted to borrow it. She died earlier this year, so now I own it. At least I can say I have a copy dating to before the movie...but it still has that crappy Oprah Book Club sticker on it.

Finished American Gods and now I'm reading Good Omens by Gaiman and Pratchett. For the record, I feel really cool because I'm reading the same book as Pineapple without meaning to.

Oh fuck was it awful. It was as if the author was permanently trying to get the reader to cringe and it wasn't working. It was pretty much a mixture of a book you could purchase in a sexshop and a second rate book that you find for 50 cents in a bargain bin. How she was ever successful is beyond me.

Hahaha, I read a lot of shitty books in 2009 (new resolution: stop reading shitty books) and I'm absolutely convinced anyone can get anything published with some success.

That is my favorite King novel. The despair. The conquered. The surrender. A depressing catastrophe was never more fascinating!
I am halfway through Barack Obama's Dreams from my father.
Remarkably candid, but then it was written before he had any idea he would become president. He admits using cocaine, pot and booze, and of course the constant stream of cigarettes, but the real meat is the insight into his upbringing in a bigoted world, and his perception of it and how he dealt with it.
I am even more amazed he is President now that I have read what he had to overcome to get there!

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. [Yeah yeah, I know..]
The Right Hand of Evil by John Saul.
Recently Finished: The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls by Emilie Autumn. [Perhaps one of the most intense books I've ever read. Not suggested for anyone prone to cutting, suicidal tendencies, or other self-destructive behaviors.]

Shelley's Frankenstein... for the first time. How, in my 31 years, I have not read this is beyond me. Like Dracula abd most of Dickens, I had simply assumed that I had due to general cultural literacy.
Next up- Barker's Books of Blood. For old times' sake.
