I saw this kind of thing on Astarte's forum and thought meybe it will bring some life back.

Just tell us what book(s) you are reading and their author.


The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
I like Anime and Manga and Music and DOCTOR WHO!!

House of Leaves (again!) by Mark Z Danielewski

Hoping to hunt down a copy of Margaret Atwoods The Handmaidens Tale next, haven't read it in so long. And Brave New World... famous author, just can't remember his name.

Can anyone recommend any other good books? I spend a lot of time on the train so I get through them quite quickly...

Have just finished "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman. You all must read it, heard it's being turned into a movie. It's a lovely story, about a star that's fallen from heaven and a boy who is looking for the star to bring back to his true love.

I heard Eragon the movie was nowhere near as good as the book. Couldn't really give my own opinion, haven't read or seen it!
