Voltaire's Candide and Skeleton Crew by Stephen King

I've been reading "Imagnative Writing: The Elements of Craft" to better my writing skills. :3

EDIT: It's by Janet Burroway

I am starting Leviathan by Scott Westerfield, I haven't gotten far but it has been recommended to me many times.

Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman.

More Neil Gaiman! He's so excellent. xD

Where the Sidewalk Ends

I just started reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World (:

At the bookstore they had this really nice version of Dante's Divine Comedy and I really wanted to get it. But it was so expensive. Damn you, Australian book stores, making everything at least 50% more expensive than it would be in Germany :/

I just finished the Virtual Life of Lexie Diamond. What an odd book! Now too start on the Memory Collector.

im reading
The Mysterious Benedict Society

I just finished Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frankl, it was...interesting? I got annoyed about a couple things, like how he kept explaining that I couldn't understand the horror of the Holocaust because I'd never been through it. Well...yeah. Anyway, I'd recommend for someone interested in some heavy, philosophical and psychology thought.

I also finished some less dense books: Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. I read through 3 of them (Talon's book, Kyrian's book and Acheron) and was not really impressed.

Atlas Shrugged is a great book to me. So is Smoke and Mirrors. Neil Gaiman please.

a series of unfortunate events
unfortunatly

gah i never finished those...XP i really need some good fantasy books..

I just finished Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman.

Now I'm on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.

Not sure if I'll read much of it. I'm trying to write and the tone/themes/whatever of books I read tend to leak into what I'm writing. What I'm trying to write is a lot different from the book, so it's tricky.
