Im 50 pages into Let The Right One In and I love it. I bought it a while back but then had regrets because I thought it was a Twilight wannabe. Thanks to Zoths thread and Clems post I gave it a shot and m really liking it.

I am reading The Wall of the Sky, the Wall of the Eye a short story collection by Jonathan Lethem, and Middle Passage by Charles Johnson (for a class)

Next I have The Time Traveller's Wife to read but I can't really be bothered.
Im 80 pages into Choke Chain by Jason Donald and Im liking it. Its based in South Africa and revolces around two brothers and their prick of a Dad.

Finished Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy) : extremely impressive, haunting book.
Started reading lots of stuff on internal martial arts, but I'll probably read more western related stuff. I have already read La lejania del tesoro (Paco Ignacio Taibo II), a wonderful novel on the Mexican war of independance, and also The friends of Panch Villa (James Catlos Blake), on the Mexican revolution.
Any other suggestions ?

“Those who argue that art and philosophy are proof of human worth neglect to mention that, in the scheme we have devised, artists and philosophers are powerless and largely without prestige. Art, music, and philosophy are merely poignant examples of what we might have been had not the priests and traders gotten hold of us.” - George Carlin

the tipping point-by Malcolm Gladwell
Special Topics In Calamity Physics By Marisha Pessl
Tanus, I really liked it a lot, it's now in my top 10. Philip K. Dick is one of the masters of 60s writing, as far as I'm concerned.
