Well I'm reading The Truth About Witchcraft by Scott Cunningham.

What book do you consider strange that you're reading or like to read?

Wicked: a great book
Amazing on Broadway too,
Buy ASAP.

(Asap counts for 4 syllables.)
(It's worth your time and money.)
(I saw it in Hollywood this last April, and I plan to make the pilgrimage to NY some time this summer.)
[Also, there is a sequal (but I'm not going to recommend it).]


My current strange book I'm reading is the Kindle, by Amazon. It's infinite pages long, contains the knowledge of the internet, and shows print just like an actual paperback. (I made sure to get a copy of Wicked for it ^_^.)

Umm... it's not really strange, but I'm re-reading the Left Behind series.

I suppose it would be strange to anyone who's not read Revelations.

^Love ppl who immitate but the others...hmmm. :?

Here's another one I'm reading

Death, A History of Man't Obsession and Fears, by Robert Wilk

I highly recommend it if you've ever wondered or feared the idea of death. It's not exactly morbid in the way people think it would be but it does show some odd pics in the way people used to deal with death such as the photography of a loved one in a life like form after their death.

I'm actually reading around 7 or 8 books but that Wicked is pretty good, just very graphic and violent; especially for Wizard of Oz spin off 8O

I read "Satan Burger" by Carlton Mellick III recently. It was totally grand.

The synopsis: "God hates you. All of you. He closed the gates of Heaven and wants you to rot on Earth forever. Not only that, he is repossesing your souls and feeding them to a large vagina-like machine called the Walm - an interdimensional doorway that brings His New Children into the world. He loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed, and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and there's nothing you can do about it ...

Featuring: a narrator who sees his body from a third-person perspective, a man whose flesh is dead but his body parts are alive and running amok, an overweight messiah, the personal life of the Grim Reaper, lots of classy sex and violence, and a motley group of squatter punks that team up with the devil to find their place in a world that doesn't want them anymore."

Right now I'm FINALLY getting around to reading "Interview With The Vampire" by Anne Rice. It's quite good.

^I got those too LOL.

There's a book depicting cats dyed in different colors in strange designs. I'll have to post it. I guess the dye or paint isn't harmful to them. It's a very crazy book!! !
