i´m reading jonathan nasaw´s the world on blood... and i like it a lot!

Nasaw showcases the world's and the Bay Area's weirdest 12-step, self-help group: vampires. In other respects, they are just normal boomers trying to kick an addiction. The group contains two poles of power: leader Nick Santos and dissenter James Whistler. Their conflict drives the action as Whistler subverts the group by getting the members, one by one, to drink blood again. Reason? It makes for ecstatic sex, spun out here in all forms save those involving animals. Even babies enter the breathy fray, not as principals to be sure (Nasaw wisely keeping the American Family Association off his back) but as sources of blood of even higher libidinous content than adults'. Consequently, baby-snatching becomes a device to bring the two main characters together in a wild encounter at Whistler's ritzy Lake Tahoe chalet. Add necromancing by the witch Selene--the vampires' second favorite slurpy stop... (thanks amazon for this description)

I've started reading another book now, even though I'm reading three others.. it's called A Piece of Cake, heh, it's really interesting, really touching.

I'm reading a book called 'Bones-Buried Deep'. It's a book based on the TV show Bones. Very, very good, too.

I'm reading a book called "Le Malade Imaginaire". I have to read it for school.
Some scenes are funny but I don't like this book very much. It's a work of the French theatre writer, director (etc.) Molière.

Le Malade Imaginaire - Wiki

(That's the german title)

i LOVE house of Leaves, seriously--that book is NUTS. Danielewski's long awaited second book just came out a few months ago. It's called "Only Revolutions" I have it on my "to read" list, once this graduate semester is over & I'm done writing term papers and reading Freud, lol.

Right now I'm reading Critical Literary Analysis for my classes, Freud, Foucault, Derrida, all that undecipherable stuff. lol. i can't wait for the semester to end, I want to read that Danielewski book, and i also have "Abarat" by Clive Barker on my list. I love him.

I'm reading Go Ask Malice by Robet Joseph Levy.

It, yet again, is a Buffy tie-in novel, but it's the. Best. One. EVER. All about Faith. srsly. In love.

im surprised actually.

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston is an amazing book. It's a true story about the ebola virus and how it jumped from African monkeys to people in America. It's gruesomely descriptive, and I recommend it to everyone who can handle it.

"One of the most horrifying things I've ever read. What a remarkable piece of work," said by Stephen King. Even Stephen King thinks it's horrifying. That's how horrifying it is! I love it.

I'm reading New Moon by Stephenie Meyers.

It's my best friend's book, and she's desperate to get it back so I have to read it now.
