February, Valentines day and I am reading...

I'm reading, February and I'm reading by G'Tina, is it a game, can I play?

Deja Dead - Kathy Reichs

She keeps doing stuff like this! "I go to the side table on the right and pick up the (complicated autopsy tool) and go to the body and use it, I wash the (complicated autopsy tool) and take it back to the side."

I still like it though!

I'd rather be reading all of Augusten Burroughs' books one after the next but I can't afford them right now.

Started reading Catch 22, if only because I'm tired of reading the blurb on the back and finding nothing out about it besides how acclaimed and influencial it is. Enjoyable enough so far and I laughed out loud at some points, which is rare for me with books.

When you are finished Dan let me know what you think. Its on my Must Read shelf for years and I might try it out soon.

Alright, will do.

Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, it's been on my to-read list for a while. And it's SNOWING (not related to what I'm reading but exciting nonetheless)!

i waited for february to roll around to finally read kiss me judas.
i am in love.

does it make me a sex predator if im spotted taking a stack of baer books out to dinner and a movie?

Nothing incredibly interesting to anyone but me.

A daily devotional, a study track plan through the bible, the idiot's guide to prayer, and a book about giving up narcissism called deliver us from meville.

which daily devotional? i thoroughly dug blackaby's 'experiencing god.'

'Daily Guideposts'. It's some collaborative effort.

I'll have to remember to look for blackaby the next time I go.

I just finished "When Madline was Young" by Jane Hamilton yesterday afternoon. It was a very good, but since it was a heavy story I am now reading total fluff - "Real Vampires Don't Diet" by Gerry Bartlett.

No,it`s not a game.I had no clue that i I steped to Derek`s private zone

A Marilyn Monroe biography.

I set down Camus' "The Stranger" around Christmas and I'm trying to pick it back up again. It doesn't seem like anything much is happening, but the back of the book is promising MURDER!

Alex: I bought one about her last week! I was goig to read it today but I picked upanother biography.

Janey: I swear I was going to start The Stranger next, my first Camus.

Ace! The one I've got is really old...I just checked and it's from 1969. Crikey.

The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo by Oscar Zeta Jones.

So far Im 80 pages in and I like it!

Mine is Godess by Anthony Swoford. Its a whopper about 600 pages.

Hes a Mexican guy who was a lawyer in LA in the 1960s. I think the main reason hes famous is Hunter S Thompson based one of the characters in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on him. (Not the one Johnny Depp played).

I'm reading Sovay by Celia Rees. She's a teen highway robber. I'm about 40 pages in and already almost everyone in the book know what she's up to so I'm not really sure how this one's going to pan out.

I've made a recession themed agreement with myself to not buy any new books until I've read all of the ones I bought last year (cripes, and the year before), so I'm reading a lot of charity shop impulse buys and books I bought mostly for my mum; like:

If I see a book I want or if I get a recommendation I add the book to the list. Making a list is almost as satisfying as walking out of Borders with a big bag full of new books. NOT.

New book smell.
Old book smell.
Which is better?

Old book smell. Especially if they're just a bit tattered. It makes me think, for whatever reason, it was loved intensely for the time it took the former owner to read it.

(And by 'loved,' I don't mean in the bodily-fluids kind of love.... or do I?)

The Outsider by Albert Camus, my first by him and its a short one.

Just started Glamorama by BEE.

A Secret History-Donna Tart

let me know what you thought of it when you finish. i almost picked that up the other day ago.

I just finished Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino, What We Talk About, When We Talk About Love and Cathedral by Raymond Carver. I'm about to begin Irvine Welsh's If You Liked School, You'll Love Work, and I also wanna read Augusten Burroughs' Dry, and Wallace's Infinite Jest.

I got a book readers block,lol. last couple books I started I lost intrest pretty fast.

I had a quiet day in the shop and flew through The Outsider by Albert Camus.

Next up is another short book called The Man in the Picture by Susan Hill. It better be sacry like it says on the back.

Currently reading Notes Of A Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on by this dude

Billy Budd by Herman Melville

I just picked up "The Year of Living Bibically" by A.J. Jacobs from the library. I've been interested in reading this for quite a while and it finally turned up on hold for me.

Gonna start reading The Gargoyle [Andrew Davidson] tonight, I'm so excited!

Luckily, I've read four other BEE books, so I know slow beginnings are par for the course.

Personally - so far - Victor reminds me an awful lot of Bateman. Specifically, Christian Bales depiction of him. Christian Bale is who I see in my head when I think of Victor...which is funny, because I read American Psycho before seeing the movie, so Christian Bale is not who I picture when I think of Patrick Bateman.

Snuff, for no apparent reason (how romantic)

People should always read Lunar Park last, after reading everything else, I don't want Tom to read it now or have already read it.
That'd suck.

I am going to start read Jurassic Park by Crichton!!! I am very excited, I can't believe I put off reading the books until now.

Im moving onto Naked Pueblo by Mark Poirier.

Who recommended What is the What by Dave Eggers?

Cause Im reading that now... and a collection of lesbian love stories.

Pygmy

I'm reading a collection of short stories by Raymond Chandler.

Which one? I read Cathedral and straightaway I got holdof another called Elephant.

It's called Killer In The Rain. I wanted to get another Marlowe novel but that was all they had at the library. It's alright, but I think most of the stories are early fragments of his novels, I've already read two that were incorporated into The Big Sleep. Is that the case with the other collections?

Im an Idiot I got mixed up with Raymond Carver and Raymond Chandler, its been a long day.

Ahh, I thought those didn't sound like the names of Chandler books!
