Just finished The Castle in Transylvania (originally The Castle of The Carpathians) by Jules Verne.
Now on In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. I LOVE Capote
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
I see all of the new King references. It was included in the load of 50+ books that I received from my family for the holiday. (Everyone knows to get me a few books and over the years I got tired of getting duplicates, so I maintain an Amazon wish list and they clear it every year. Great stuff!)
Reading the 2nd 'Millennium' book - read the first one in November and saw the movie earlier this week. Pretty good!

In Cold Blood is so good. But there's a thread on here now about what not to read before you go to bed at night - that's one of 'em. It's a book that still scares the crap out of me.
Just started "The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo"...put it off because everyone else was reading it...and I tend to wait until it is available in the library. Plus, don't want to watch the movie until I read the book...so just enough time before it is out on DVD.

Just finished The Rapper's Handbook. Most of it I knew from trial and error but picked up a few tips on combating writer's block. And there were some funny passages too. One about saying your real experiences, "if you're a 12 year old suburbanite don't talk about busting caps, popping cops, drinking, doing drugs, etc. you're just lying, you might as well talk about how it feels to give birth."
Just started "How To Rap" which is pretty much the same thing but with more quotes from old and new school rappers.
Just finished Bill Bryson's "Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe". I also just received his "A Short History of Nearly Eveything" which I'm about to tackle, but it's a monster. I love anything Bill Bryson and recommend his books to anyone who's not familiar.
Just about finished Interview with a Vampire, have already read Lestat so next on the night stand is Queen of the Damned. I seem to always have a theme to what I read, last year and most of this year it was music biographies, now vampires.
Queen of the Damned might be my favorite in the series...I never saw the movie but it obviously isn't anything like the book :x
I hope you enjoy it!!

Cool.
I watched the Swedish version of the first one after I finished that book....and then I watched the US version on Monday. I liked them both. Clearly the US version benefits from a larger budget (and hugely from the awesome score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross...it was so perfect for the move) but there are some things I liked better about the Swedish version.
Enjoy it!
Not your usual vegetarian diet book just breaks down what certain myths about food we've been taught over the years. Great book and a quick read.
Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there's solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

I finished In Cold Blood last night... I'm in awe of it; I haven't read a book that good in years. I wouldn't say it scared me but it certainly made my hair on the back of my neck stand on end at times. I loved it

... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
In 1983, squirming under constant government scrutiny and mourning a failed marriage, writer and photographer Jian abandons his home in Beijing to journey to China's western border with little more than a change of clothes, two bars of soap, a notebook, a camera and Whitman's Leaves of Grass. It is the beginning of an arduous three-year voyage that takes him not only through little-traveled regions of China, Myanmar and Tibet, but through a careful examination of what it means to be a Buddhist, to live in post-Mao China and to exist in his own skin. A skilled storyteller, Jian narrates in prose that is spare and often beautiful his encounters with people who live in a region that "even today... is a place of banishment, populated by political prisoners, descendents of Turkic migrants, and the ghosts of buried cities." From the night he spends crammed under a bus seat next to a pile of dirty socks and clucking hens to his escape from Chinese militiamen who mistake him for a Burmese spy, Jian tells a powerful story that is no mere travelogue. Indeed, his journey exposes him to so many risks getting bitten by sheepdogs in the grasslands along the Yellow River, drinking foul lake water that knocks him unconscious that the sheer number of life-threatening incidents begins to dull their impact. Still, Jian offers a revealing, riveting portrait of a Chinese citizen who seeks truth and honesty in a society in which such a quest can be grounds for punishment.
one of my all time favorites! that and East of Eden cemented Steinbeck as one of my top 5 authors.
I've only read two Steinbeck books and those were in high school: Of Mice and Men and The Pearl. I have East of Eden on my shelf, waiting to be read.
