Current read
My uncle pressured me into reading Lacan's Écrits... translated I will admit. He said no self-respecting English major can graduate without it! 
A theoretical challenge! Let's start there...
Just finished Verland: The Transformation by B.E. Scully... a gothic literary masterpiece. No self-respecting literary goth should be without it!

I'm beta reading for a couple of other writers, so I can't say titles but they are totally outside my genre and I'm enjoying it.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami.
This book is amazing it's been giving me the weirdest dreams and it's a very enjoyable read.

I just obtained a very large chunk of H.P. Lovecraft's non-horror writings. It's interesting to learn about him from his own pen.

The Faber Book of Madness. Edited by Roy Porter.
The elliptical philosophy and study behind madness, containing poetic quotes from certain known and unknown writers along with unspecified jargon consisting of the ever-growing contingencies of psychological studies. All in my opinion of course.

Marketing the menacing fetus in Japan by Helen Hardacre, and some steamy Yaoi novels (a.k.a male homosexual novels) on the side.

cult classic
The vampire novels are a bit like prose sa to ofer a differnce to what is usally meant by something of this fashion. Lightning through the thoughts of the abyss shows a mark on religion as taken by the stolen mind to refute and Panther's Bite includes the harvest of what subsides as indiffer3nt but to limit one's graces as a shallow return to nevelop reason by mystery that contains...two must buy, a bit costly, but never mind the pizza!

Wuthering Heights. For a class on ghost stories. I hate it less every time I read it. Maybe with another 4 or 5 tries I'll actually begin to enjoy it?

Hamlet and Fordham's An Intro to Jung's Psychology.
Both for class, but both worth the read.

The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, so far its depressing me. She's an awesome author but in some books like this, Cat's Eye, Moral Disorder, etc, the theme seems to be "women's lot in life is HORRIBLE."
