The witches hammer by jane stanton hitchcock.
i'm re reading it, but its still got me gripped, and the erotica I had all but forgotten about just hit me in the face again, rather intereting haha.. I do reccommended it to any of you with an interest in the occult, and relgion slashing. I havent read the da vinci code, really cant be bothered with it, but i think there may be parrallels, at least with the vatican keeping secrets..

How do you find Winterson? I've read two of her works, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit and Weight. While I like her writing style, I just cannot engage myself with her books. |

Connor, I'd like to read Oranges and have read The Powerbook. I'm not very far into Sexing the Cherry right now, but from class discussions I'm looking forward to how grotesque the story actually is.
As for her writing...
There is definitely something alienating about how heavily she relies on the whole PoMo thing. The risk is that her stories become convoluted to the point of meaninglessness, and I think it does happen in her fiction. She's got really fascinating storylines and a lot of imagination, though. Hmmm. There are times when I can put up with her... kind of visceral narrative techniques and just let it all gloss over me. It's usually a toss up.

In SSR in english(for those uneducated people, SSR is self-selected reading)i'm reading Pet Cemetary by Stephen King. It's...weird. I'm about a little more than halfway through it.
I just finished the Cutler series by V.C. Andrews. Those were good.
I'm hooked on the Fearless books by Francine Pascal. Probably my favorite books right now. i'm at the very end of book 6.
