So, I decided to finally pick up Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz.  Fairly interesting so far.  I also just saw this new book called "The Tower of Shadows" by another young author (Drew Bowling).  Apparently started writing in High School, and is now a Sophomore in college.  Anyone read this yet?  I thought I might, but didn't care too much for Eragon.  Mr. X (Peter Straub) and Dreamcatcher (King) are next on the list.  Oh the joys of bookdom.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I really loved her stand-alone Can You Keep a Secret?, which was LOL funny. This is good, too, but similar and not as humorous. I guess it was written first, so Secret probably resembles it.

I've just started it, though, so we'll see. It is totally guilty pleasure, like chocolate.

Have finished all of my last batch and my girlfriend gave me The Laughing Corpse and Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton.  Almost finished with the first title here and still don't think I'll ever really care for the character Anita Blake but I like the world she weaves.....

Because of Skar's article, I'm reading a David Gemmell called Hero in the Shadows. It's ok so far.

I bought the new WotF book (Vol. 22).  So, I'm trying to read that, and I just got a book from the library called "The Tower of Shadows" by some young kid (sophomore in college...young...oh my...) with the last name Bowling that Terry Brooks said was good.  I'm still trying to finish Survival by Czerneda.  It's been so slow; I'm having a difficult time wanting to finish it.

Mistborn.  I know I should be ashamed that it's taken me this long, but I've had insane loads of work at school since the book came out, and this is the first semester I've had a chance to do any free reading…

Mr. X by Peter Straub.  Reading this guy is certainly a treat, but his writing is very dense, and he includes a lot that just feels like filler.  Entertaining so far.  Anyone else ever read Straub?

Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza. It's actually one of my textbooks this year, but it's rivetting (and rather gut-wrenching). It's an autobiography of the author's experience in the Rwandan Holocaust. It should be a work of fiction, but sadly isn't.

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. I'm about half-way through, and if I have to read another rhapsody about the glory of dying a chivalrous death, I may have to hurl all over the book.

Oh, come, it wasn't that bad.  Frankenstein was worse, at any rate.

In the middle of Dreamcatcher (S. King) and Vol 21 of Writers of the Future.  Need to put together a new pile now that my current one is gone.
