Doing a twofer right now. I'm re-reading Stephen King's On Writing to give me some motivation for NaNoWriMo, and I'm also re-reading Kat Richardson's Greywalker to recap before I get the second book in the series, Poltergeist, from the local library.

I finished Silas Marner this morning, I'm chugging through The Stars My Destination, and I'm hoping to make some headway on The Remains of the Day before I sleep. When will this semester end?

Crown and Country by David Starkey. An anti-Scottish, misogynist oxygen thief, but...I just like his books. Don't hate me. :(

Steven King's latest 11/22/63. Loving it so far! I'm not usually a King fan - too creepy. But this, I like.

Just started Kelly Meding's Another Kind of Dead. I know, it's been out for a bit, but I always get around to reading AWer books eventually. (Try to, anyway.)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by the late Hunter S. Thompson (it's exactly like the movie)

Just finished James Gunn's The Toy Collector.

It starts funny, moves to tragic and then moves to disturbing. It would be hard to find room for any more conflict.

Just finished "Breaking The Code" by Karen Fisher-Alaniz which was just lovely. A memoir dealing with her discovery of her father's experiences as a brave and brilliant young code-reader during WWII - warm, sensitively-handled and very moving. I do recommend it.

Just over half-way through The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson. I do like Roson's journalism, and thought Them was a brilliant book. This, too, is by turns funny and disturbing. He's a sort of nebbish gonzo journalist. An easy, quick and entertaining read.

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. Don't think it's as good as Anna but still loving it!

I'm reading Hollowlands by Amanda Hocking and A winter Tale by Trisha Ashley.

I have a couple of Lian Hern books waiting on my table and I'm doing a Star Trek run at teh weekend (what can I say, I'm a sucker for ST novels)

After a grueling week+ of getting the house ready for a house party, I have picked up Paul S. Kemp's Twilight Falling, book 1 of The Erevis Cale trilogy (I love me some light reading set in the D&D worlds) and have also started The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
