I'm reading two books: The Vampire Lestat and Howl's Moving Castle. Not simultaneously of course. I have a friend who does that though. I don't see how she doesn't get confused.

Tale of Two Cities, for class. It doesn't suck nearly as badly as most of the other Dickens works I've read

Finished the Lovecraft book (how is an inch and a half thick book 900 pages?) and put Bukowski up, and I'm just focusing on American Gods right now.

I'm currently reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski for a second time. A lovely book, if not the most intricate I've read thus far.

"Non Campus Mentis" by Professor Anders Henriksson. Its a compendium of mangled historical 'facts' culled from college term papers, and it is hilarious. (Sometimes you just need a good laugh).

Recently finished: "A Rare Breed of Love" by Jana Kohl
Currently reading: "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova
Once I finish this, I'm going to begin "Point of Origin" by Patricia Cornwell. (I adore everything I've read out of her Kay Scarpetta series, so I'm sure it will be a good read.)

Just finished Wise Children by Angela Carter; it was amazing.
I'm currently re-reading Anne of Green Gables for about the billionth time--just because it makes me laugh--and I'm reading We Are The Ones We Have Been Waiting For by Alice Walker.

Stephen King's IT. I got half way through it before but I chickened out, I'm determined to finish it this time.

Arashi, I've read the "Historian" and I must admit that I rather enjoyed reading it! I've already read it twice but I'm seriously considering reading it a third time!

I've got a copy of Fragile Things sitting next to me right now, and American Gods is my favorite novel. Have you gotten to the American Gods novella in the back of Fragile Things yet?
Catcher in the Rye is awesome. I read that back in highschool and freaking loved it.
Currently I'm reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Choelho.

1984 by George Orwell
Black by Ted Dekker
Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks
Dragonquest by Donita K. Paul

As well as a myriad of old comic books.
