What are you reading? - Volume Two

I'm reading Jessica's Guide to dating on the Dark Side. Sooooo addictive and Jessica is a great strong main female character! 10/10
 
I'm reading Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings right now. First time doing so, though I've seen the movie dozens of times. Some of it feels redundant just because I know parts of the story so well, but the writing is spectacular. 10/10

The Lord of the Rings is a FANTASTIC book! :)
Fahrenheit 451. I'm about halfway through, and it's pretty cool 🙂 Of course I do have a thing for these dystopian novels.

I love them too! Any suggestions? I've read 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World so far.They're some of my favourite books
I'm listening to my Wheel of Time audio books again, trying to remember all the details before I read the latest installment. And I'm reading the first Vampire Academy book. Someone told me they're better than the Sookie Stackhouse books, but so far I'm not agreeing.
 
Fledgling, by Octavia E. Butler.

It's a vampire novel, but definitely not your typical one. There are several interesting science fiction twists on the old myth.
 
"What To Do When The Sh*t Hits The Fan" by Dave Black. It's a manual on what to do to be prepared for and to survive after various natural disasters. Unlike most books in the genre, it doesn't advocate assembling an arsenal or give instructions on how to make explosives out of common household products.

(And, no, I bought it BEFORE Haiti.)
 
Thirteen Reasons Why. I borrowed it off my friend, and I swear it's awesome. It's about this girl who commited suicide, but she left these types behind explaining the thirteen reasons why; which are all involving people, who the tapes are sent to. It's from the POV of the main guy, Clay, and the dead girl, Hannah, too. It's such a good book, I can barely put it down.

I love that book!
Valley of the dolls - Jaqueline Susann. I read it years ago and finding it at the library it was too hard to resist. had to give it another go
 
Currently re-reading 1984, one of my favourite books.
 
Tueuse de Vampires
Tueuse de Vampires
you might try The Guardians. Or The Time Machine...that one is not really your typical dystopian novel, but there is some society criticism from the viewpoint of the 19th century

Ooh, I love 1984. If you haven't yet, you should read Aldous Huxley 'Brave New World' - kinda similar and even more ahead of its time than Orwell :)
Just about to start A Spot of Bother by Mark Handon. Apparently it's pretty sick, so it should be fun 😛

haha just have to say that I love you banner
gonna give Anne Rice another go. I love the Vampire chronicles and Pandora, even Vittorio but the last couple of books I've read by her have made me SO disappointed (Merrick, The Vampire Armand, Blood canticle) so I've been wary. But I'm going to give Blood and Gold a whirl now, I'll hope for the best
 
FINALLY finishing Stephen King's "Lisey's Story" after avoiding the book for months, I've just started reading J.R.R Tolkien's "The Children Of Hurin". The book got mixed reviews so I'm a little wary.

Christopher Tolkien's Introduction may have ruined the whole story for me, though.........

Ah, I hate that. Introductions are always ruining plots. They should be printed at the end! Or use spoiler tags :p
^ I meant I hate the intros thing - not the book. Not read it, but I imagine I'd find it very hard to hate anything by Tolkien.

I'm reading The Jungle Book. Not as good as the Disney film! 😛

I honestly did not like The Jungle Book at all. :P Just giving you a warning! :P
I'm reading Sophie's World right now.
I was sleeping over at some friends' place, and in the morning when I was up way earlier than them again I checked out their bookshelf and just couldn't resist it 😀 Never read it before, but I've heard good things about it. Currently on page 50.
