    I have been considering this title for some time now. I am guessing an eventual purchase is inevitable :)

    Next up on my list is Dog's Blood by David Moody

    I need to get this book, I'm not much of a sci-fi fan, but Hater grabbed me pretty quick. Can only imagine what people will think when I'm holding up the book with Dog's Blood on the cover! :o
    Currently reading the second book of Daniel Woodrell's Bayou Trilogy "Muscle For The Wing". The first book took a little to get into, but the second is a lot easier since most of the characters are set.

    Btw - Did you read Moody's Autumn series? Not sure about that one.

    "Myths about Suicide" by Thomas Joiner.

    Just got this book yesterday, or maybe the day before? it's a good read, i'm little over the halfway mark.

    lots of different takes on suicide from the author.

    I haven't read anything in awhile (I go on spurts with reading). Was however thinking of starting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series and or The Hunger Games series as well. I enjoyed both movies and heard the books are decent.

    Game of Thrones books, technically A Song of Ice and Fire books but anyway, I'm onto A Dance With Dragons.

    Also reading The Picture of Dorian Grey.

    A Dance WIth Dragons is to huge to be able to read comfortably and the underground, so I read Dorian Grey on the way to and from work and ADWD in the evenings. There are worse ways to spend ones time.

    Not reading these now, but today, my favorite English professor from school said he was downsizing his book collection at home and gave me these three Jack Kerouac books:

    Tristessa
    Doctor Sax
    The Subterraneans

    He knows I have a huge interest in Kerouac. I can't wait for the semester to be over and dig into these books. I also have a couple of his poetry books that I'm also looking forward to reading.

    Anyone on Goodreads? I'm loving it!

    I signed up a couple years ago, but I just started to get into it as I am part of a 52-book challenge within 2012.

    Very different reads.
    I enjoyed both but one is light and quick (Hunger Games) and the other is serious and while page turning, will take a bit more time to get through. (Dragon)
    If I could only have read one of those series it would have to be Dragon. At times mysterious, pulse pounding, disgusting and rewarding - most things you could ask for in a read.
    Enjoy them both!

    Doctor Sax is awesome! Some fantastic passages in that one...
