I'm reading Ann Veronica by H.G Wells, it's my book club choice this month. I'm loving it and really didn't expect to so it's even better for that!

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin, the second book in the "A Song Of Ice And Fire" Trilogy.
I'm not the biggest fantasy fan, but this series is just original, compelling and an overall fantastic read.

I'm reading Possession at the moment by A.S Byatt and although I'm over 300 pages in I still can't decide if I'm enjoying it or not... I get the feeling that sticking with it may be rewarding - I'm hoping so anyhow!

TRAIN WRECK by Donna Hogan (anna nicole smith's 1/2 sister)
this is one of the worst, and poorest written books ive ever read in my life--and trust me, im not that picky.
I assumed there was a "co author", as in, a REAL writer who actually wrote Donna's story so it would make sense...but it read like an illiterate with spell check penned it.
just trying to figure out how they are related and who is who was overcomplicated. i am going to finish the book, but seriously so far its terrible imo

finished this a few weeks ago. it was good, but then i love insanity. i did think it would have been more a vanity fair article then a book though.

I just took Rose Madder by Stephen King out of the library, but I haven't started reading it yet.
I just loves me some Stephen King.

OMG Rose Madder; that crazy husband... it has been forever since I read that book and now I feel all creepy and stuff. Did you ever read Gerald's Game?
I'm reading The Possessed by Dostoyevsky and picking through Ramayana (I've been reading that one off and on for the past 2 1/2 years I swear it's a great book).

I read Gerald's Game a long time ago. I remember it vaguely ... aren't they in a cabin somewhere and the wife is handcuffed to the bed and her husband is dead beside her?
Stephen King has quite the imagination.

Yes! And she's trying to cut her hand off and there's this dog licking up the mess from his head hitting the floor...
