Reading The Best of H.P Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror And The Macabre
Pretty surprised by it too, actually. For a loner he writes some pretty good stories, though there are alot of long paragraphs. Still, it's good work.

Just started reading The Other Boleyn Girl. I enjoy period dramas, but usually its nineteenth century - not this far back. No one would go and see the movie with me so I decided to read the book and so far I am really enjoying it. First book I have read by that author but I'm certainly going to read more of her novels. I'm a HUGE Eric Bana fan so I'm in my element reading this and picturing him as King Henry  yummy |

Howl, the Harper Perennial Modern Classic edition. Version after version of Howl by Allen Ginsberg. Awesome.

Haunted by Palahniuk. Not great, but interesting enough to read. He does some interesting things that make it worth reading.

An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England by Brock Clarke.
In case you're wondering, it's a novel. And a really great one at that.

Map of Bones by James Rollins. I usually don't read action/thriller books but the author also goes by the pen name of James Clemens when he writes fantasy and I utterly adore the books he's written so I thought I'd try the ones he published as Rollins.

Picked up Kurt Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan as the novel I'm going to read for my English culminating assignment (its not a book report). Gotta say, I fell in love with the book in the first few pages; it starts even better than Slaugterhouse-Five!

A historical novel by Donald Morris called Washing of the spears. It details the Zulu war with the British in 1879.
