I'm glad there are so many books in the series, I still have a lot to get through before I suffer from withdraw. I have to say the end of Chapter 6 in Dead to the World is probably my favorite ending to a chapter ever. Oh Eric Northman you are a silly silly vampire. I love Dead Until Dark, and I used to think Living Dead In Dallas was good until season two of True Blood. The way it played out in the series was so much more fun than the book. I'll most likely finish Dead to the World tonight,I got a 125 pages left so maybe I will or maybe I won't. Depends if I go to my friends dorm and if we play N64..

cadair8 member Joined: 12/21/07 Posts: 4,400	I love Bill in the series too. I like him in the books but its ridiculous how much of a character difference there is. I guess I also love the books a lot to because I read them before I even knew there was going to be a show. The show just made me reinterested and made me buy them all! And on another note, the new PostSecret book is amazing. Sadly, my secret isn't in the book. I've always wondered how I would feel if I saw something I sent in on the site or in one of the books... And sourfriday you'll probably beat me, I found out I will be playing some N64 tonight. Its funny how you stop playing certain video games because you are "too mature" for them. But here I am a college freshmen playing Pokemon Stadium lol

Next up is Alice Hoffman's latest, The Story Sisters. And has anyone read Elizabeth Hand? She is the author of 12 Monkeys, and my favorite writer by far; highly recommended.

mcr_torchwood member Year Zero, not the hero. Joined: 04/16/09 Location: Bournemouth Posts: 351	I'm reading The Great Gatsby for my English Literature course, and... Man, it's boring as fuck. I really do love Fitzgerald's style of writing but from what I can gather, and from what everyone else is saying, it just doesn't go anywhere. Bleh.

cadair8 member Joined: 12/21/07 Posts: 4,400	I am 150 pages in and I am loving it. I have to read this one slower than usual. I came home from college for the weekend and didn't bring the next, so this has to last me until my train ride on sunday night. Lets see how that works out...

Wartooth member Joined: 06/07/09 Location: North Hollywood Posts: 80	palulaofdoom posted: '1984' by George Orwell Excellent book. I read this in 8th Grade. I could not bring myself to finish it. i found it quite boring. Maybe it was a bit too mature for me at the time. I'll try again in a few years. Right now Im reading Fight Club after watching the movie for God knows how many times. I really like the book Im 120-ish pages in. Right now I have Shutter Island on hold at my library.

sourfriday member Joined: 04/23/08 Posts: 1,929	So I finished all ten books in the Sookie Stackhouse series and I have to say that aside from the first two, I really enjoyed burning through them. Not particularly deep reading, but lots of fun all the same. That Eric Northman, let me tell you...

djnixon member lines of wit, balls of sh Joined: 04/11/08 Posts: 1,777	Yeah, I didn't either. I put it down and picked up one of my last Kurt Vonnegut novels left to read, Slapstick. It was a pretty good read, a quick read. Can't be too disappointed by anything written by Vonnegut.
