Right now I'm just starting to read The Andromeda Strain by Michael Chricton. I really like his books.

Recently I just finished "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson. Great book, especially if you like vampires or apocalyptic style settings. It's this book that inspired the movie "The Omega Man" . I give it

Speaking of which, 5 double thumbs are the highest score and 0 is the lowest. Also single thumbs represent half of a double thumb. So a score of means it is'nt worth a , but yet isn't a 0.

Another good book I read recently is "The Rising" by Brian Keene. Really good book and it adds a major twist to zombies. I won't tell you what the twist is because it sorta is key to the story. It's very easy to get into the characters of this book and I found myself even trying to think of what actors would be good to play them in a movie. So if you like horror, or zombies this is a must.

Well I'm reading the Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, part 2. Awsome book, everyone read the trilogy

Am currently reading 'Drums of Autmn' the fourth book in the Outlander series by D. Gabolden .
Just finished Reading 'Voyager' the third book in the Outlander series ,and before that I read 'Cross Stitch ' the first book in the series and by far Dianna Gabolden's penultimate literary triumph totally worth the full 5 thumbs up .

Im reading a book called "the armour of God"
by MD Rebbeca Brown
WARNING do not read MD Rebbeca Brown if you have a weak mind

I'm reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. In our school we have to read from a selection of books, so I figured I should catch up on classic literature seeing that there's no good books...

For an English ISU I am reading a 420 page book of the Last of the Mohicans. Its a bit hard to read, and understand in some parts. It was a good movie though.

Bram Stokers "Dracula," along with the "Lord of the Rings"

I'm currantly reading Mysterious Creatures, a guide to Cryptozoology and Monster of God.

I am reading "the Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Recently finished "Druids" by Morgan Llywelyn. It's about the life of a celtic boy named Ainvar who becomes the chief druid in Gaul and about Vercingetorix one of the celt chiefs who attempts to unify the Celts agains the Roman invasion. It is a good book, I give it four out of five.

I was reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series a couple of years ago...I gave up when I started Uni, and lost my place, so I just went back to the beginning. Right now I'm reading the first book "The Eye of the World". The first time I read this, I did it inside a week (which is pretty impressive, given it's a huuuuge book), and could barely put it down...easily one of the best books I've read. The series slipped a little afterwards though. It remained great, but never quite as good as that first outing.

Still, Eye of The World definately gets a

I am reading Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology by Kolb and Whishaw.

Speeches, always speeches.

im reading the empire of darkness, cos anne rice has no new books out!

Heres a book Ive already read and plan on reading again, its; "Amazonia" by James Rollins. I give it a rating.

From the back of the book itself.; "The Rand scientific expedition entered the lush wilderness of the Amazon and never returned. Years later, one of its members has stumbled out of the worlds most inhospitable rainforest-- a former Special Forces soldier, scarred, mutilated, terrified, and mere hours from death, who went in with one arm missing.... and came out with both intact. Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the government sends Nathan Rand into this inpenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils, to follow the trail of his vanished father.... toward mysteries that MUST be solved at any cost. But the nightmare that is awating Nate and his team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Rangers dwarfes any danger they anticipated; an ancient, unspoken terror-- a power beyond human imagining--that can forever alter the world beyond the dark, lethal confines of....Amazonia."

Check the book out for yourself, Im sure you wont be dissapointed.

I wanna play!
Me just finished read the second part of Laura Resnick's In Fire Forged series. The only thing I can complain about is that it's only a two-part series. if you like fantasy, then you must read these books. absolutely must.

Yep, got and read all 11 books of the wheel of time, can't wait for the 12th.

At the moment I am reading The Sandman: Book of Dreams, edited by Neil GAiman and Ed Kramer.

The Function of the English Verb by Peter Lewis.

A tad overcoked in places but some truly mind-bending observations about the grammar of intransitives.

And in the evenings I'm re-reading Good Omens by Tezza Pratchet and Neil Gaiman.

Spot the difference.

Just finished 'All the Rage' & 'Hosts' by F. Paul Wilson, his 'repairman jack' novels are very well done.

The Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution
Without Pity- Anne Rule
Haunted Canada-True Ghost Stories
Understanding Your Childs Dreams

I just finished 'The Case for Christ' by Lee Strobel. A VERY interesting book.

i am reading the "mammoth book of haunted house stories" and "the Word in life study Bible"(new testament edition)

Immaculate conceit script, we got copyright on the play at college. I get lead role yay!!!!!

I just finished From Potters Field by Patricia Cornwell, it was good, but lacked the detail i am used to reciving from Stephen King. I just started The Dark Half by Stephen King. And not to get off the topic, but i just saw Secret Window last night and it was great... varried from the book just a little, but kept true to the story.

CASTOR

I usually have a few different books going at a time, in different styles. I am a big Louis L'amour fan, and am working through his series of books now.

My wife and I take turns reading to each other at night, almost always it is a good old cowboy story...

Right now we are reading "Westward the Tide" by L'amour. About 75% of his stories are the same basic plot; they are your typical western stories. Good guy/Bad guy-White hat/Black hat. His main characters seem to be one of three different types of cowboys that he chooses from...even with the similarities, I still enjoy the writing; very descriptive and beautiful...

Just started reading "Scripts People Live" (transactional analysis of life scripts) by Claude Steiner.

I'm currently reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

A very fascinating novel of a satirical view of the future, where cloning and the "conditioning" of humans are taken extravangantly with technological and biological mass production becomes seemingly a key.

Currently chin deep in Black's Microbiology: Principles and Explorations, 5th edition. It's a really great source of info on microbes, but the editors could have done a far better job. The amount of spelling errors is almost alarming for a professional text!

On the side-Serving up a side of Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix, for about the 3rd time. I like the series, but this last book is very dark, full of teenage me-ism type angst. Really makes me want to reach thru the pages and tell this kid (Potter) to pull his head outta his arse and realise he is cared for. Grrr...

PS Blue Scorpion-Brave new world was one of my all time fav's! Reminded me of the movie Gattica (or vice versa).

the SAB and The Grapes of wrath .

Through the Looking Glass.

Wizards First Rule...by Terry Goodkind.
