I'm reading Wind Through the Keyhole. Have been saving it as it is the only DT book I haven't read yet and I will be sad when I've finished it. Oh well, I guess then I can start re-reading them! :D
Lucky you! I wish I could read them again for the first time!! If you find it a little hard to get into, persist!! It will well be worth it :)

I finished Fool. It was hysterical. I only have two more of Moore's books to read.Now I'm reading Rage. I just realized that it is out of print because it apparently "influenced a killer".
Started up Life earlier and plan to give Grant Morrison's entire The Invisibles, Vol. 1: Say You Want a Revolution series another read through.

Currently; Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut and I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Hoping to start a new King when one is finished!
I finished reading
by Stef Penney this evening. Overall, I thought the novel was an interesting and mostly enjoyable read. There were some problems with it (not surprising in a debut novel), the plot became slow and tedious at times, there were too many characters - it was very hard to keep track of them all - and the author wrote all of her characters in the first person so sometimes it wasn't clear which character was doing the talking! I had to go back and re-read multiple chapters to figure out what was happening in the story, which was very annoying! The ending was very sudden. It came out of nowhere and it left too many storylines unresolved. I was left wondering WHERE is the rest of the story??? My full review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Next I'm going to start
by S.E. Hinton.
Just starting Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire. Already finished Wicked and Son Of A Witch. Love the histories he comes up with.
I finished Rage and I started Killing FloorKilling Floor. Even though this is the first in the series, it is not the first Reacher book that I've read.
I finished reading
by S.E. Hinton last night. This was my first time reading The Outsiders. I never managed to get around to reading it as a teenager but I've heard so many people say it is one of their favourite books so I thought it was about time that I read it finally. And now that I've finished the book I can't believe I waited so long! The Outsiders is a gripping and compelling read which is full of suspense. It was also extremely heart-breaking and touching at times. The novel is very well-written, considering S.E. Hinton was just seventeen years old when she wrote it. I was amazed with the amount of depth and layers in this book. It really is wonderful. Five stars! My full review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Today I've started reading
by Charlotte Rogan.

I can't believe that I've yet to read The Outsiders, either.. It's now on my "to-read" list, though. Thank you!

Finished IT for the first time last night. Five star novel. Now onto either The Neverending Story or Requiem for a Dream. Either way, those will be my next two reads.
I'm nearly half way through
. Its got me gripped as I knew it would. Loving the characters and the unexpected twist quite close to the start. Love how the characters change and interact. Very good book so far. :¬)

It was awesome. I thought it was good, but slowish until about the mid-way point. The last half of the book was so amazing that it more than made up for the slow start.

Yes, it was originally a book, then the movie was adapted.

It's one of my all-time favorite movies. I just recently learned it was originally a book, so I definitely had to check it out! :)

So...are you saying I have no class because I'm reading a YA/kids book? If so, what's it to you?
Kathryn wrote: "Jacob wrote: "Kathryn wrote: "Finished IT for the first time last night. Five star novel. Now onto either The Neverending Story or Requiem for a Dream.
