The Holmes-Dracula File (1978) by Fred Saberhagen

Started reading this months ago and got sidetracked. I've been on a mission lately to finish the books that I've abandoned at some point to start something else. Nobody should even own 20 bookmarks, let alone be using every single one.

1,2,3, What are we fighting for? The Australian student movement from its origins to the 1970s by mick armstrong. i found it in my uni library of all places.

I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and Grimm's Fairytales by the brothers Grimm, Jakob and Wilhelm.

I just started reading Bride Of The Fat White Vampire by Andrew Fox, which is the sequel to Fat White Vampire Blues, which was the funniest horror/comedy novel I've ever read. It takes off just weeks after the original novel had ended, with the proverbial fat white vampire, Jules Duchon having transformed himself into a pack of rats after losing his one true love, and is rapidly losing his memory and sentience, and is becoming more rodent like. That is, till he sees another vampire in action, who is immediately killed after making a kill. I can't wait till I pick up the book again!

I tried reading that once but was unable to get past the third chapter, if I recall.

I'm trying to get through Never Cry Wolf, by Farley Mowat, but it's hard for me to read his writing style.

Today's acquisitions:

Flicking between the two as i feel the need, depending on my mood.

just came to post that i'm reading the picture of dorian gray and i see someone else is too(:

also a book about broadmoor. although i might wait until i've finished the first now or i'll just end up with 2more half-read books lying around

I was browsing in the comic book store yesterday and found twenty-nine issues of Groo the Wanderer in the $1 bins. Funniest comic ever, in my opinion. I'm reading them slowly and savoring them.

I'm reading Coin-Locker Babies, by Ryu Murakami.

It's a good one. It features Japanese social dynamics, misogyny (balanced by awesome female characters, including a super-model who has converted her apartment into a swamp for her pet alligator) that reads more like borderline gay content, and surprise autism. Except, like 90s era autism-as-trope-for-creepy-children autism. But it entertains me more than it offends me. And I think the author is a gay guy who has autism.

Bob Woodward - Obama's Wars.

Reading *anything* after the brilliant Christopher Hitchens is bound to be disappointing if you like ... uh ... words, but Woodward is really slipping. Lots of "ole boy charm" and "wolfish grin" going on, but of course he has an ability to get *inside* the white house, so if it reads like a high school essay, his subject matter is certainly interesting enough to continue reading.

Yayed ryeptoo? That's an odd name for a book. ^^

Still on with the Polity books, on The Gabble at the moment which leaves only Hilldiggers once it's done. Not reading too much at the moment due to superabundance of dwarfs.
