I just started 'Authenticity' by Deirdre Madden so I cannot say if it's good or not. So far so good though.

Stephanie Meyer...cool. I just finished The Host. now that's a good book!

umm...lemme see...
the Lord of the Rings Triliogy - JRR Tolkien
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - JK Rowling (for my HP english elective)
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown
The DaVinci Code - also by Dan Brown
The Phantom of the Opera - not so sure on the author
The Cry of the Icemark - The Icemark Cronicles - not sure

....me thinks that's it

Right now I'm Reading The Good, The Bad and The Undead by Kim Harrison and Cell By Stephen King.

Im reading "The Chimes" By Charles Dickens

I'm in the middle of reading a book called Odin's Queen, by Susan Price. However, I'm still into the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, which I read in October and have read several times since.

EDIT: Why does everyone keep spelling Stephenie Meyer's name wrong?

The New Atheists by Tina Beattie

I also bought The Brothers Karamazov by Frodor Dostoyevsky the other day and I'll start reading that soon.

"On Writing" by Stephen King.

I'm nearing the end of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub on audiobook. So technically Frank Muller read it and I'm just listening. Physical books I'm reading currently are Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin, and Women From Another Planet by Jean Kearns Miller. There are a couple others I pick up now and then also to read a little.

I have a hard time reading only one book at a time. I also have a hard time reading in general because of headaches etc but I love it anyway.

Just got back from the used book store. Picked this bit of silliness up

Our Oldest Enemy - a History of America's Disastrous Relationship with France....

If it leaned any farther to the right, the book would fall over... signed by the Author, yet...

The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome.

A Dangerous Path, by Erin Hunter, another in The Warriors cat series

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

"Letters from Rifka"
It's juvenile fiction. I like reading juvenile fiction and young adult books even though I'm old.
I can keep my attention span much longer when I read shorter, easier to understand books.
American Girl Diaries are good too! Far better than what was out when I was a kid!!

Freakonomics, A Rouge Economist Explains the Hidden Side of Everything, Revised and Expanded Edition

On Internet dating...
"...men who say they want a long-term relationship do much better than men looking for an occasional lover. But women looking for an occasional lover do great. For men, a woman's looks are of paramount importance. For women, a man's income is terribly important. The richer a man is, the more e-mails he receives. But a woman's income appeal is a bell-shaped curve: men do not want to date low-earning women, but once a woman starts earning too much, they seem to be scared off. Women are eager to date military men, policemen, and firemen (possibly as a result of a 9/11 Effect, like the higher payments to Paul Feldman's bagel business), along with lawyers and doctors; they generally avoid men with manufacturing jobs. For men, being short is a big disadvantage (which is probably why so many lie about it), but weight doesn't much matter. For women, being overweight is deadly (which is probably why they lie). For a man, having red hair or curly hair is a downer, as is "bald with a fringe"—but a shaved head is okay. For a woman, salt-and-pepper hair is bad, while blond hair is, not surprisingly, very good."

Today I started Americana by Don DeLillo. The dry humour is keeping me interested, maybe I will finish this one.

i have my nose stuck in JRR Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring(for the 10th time...or mebbly it's the 20th...i dunno anymore) i'm also reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for english
