    Apparently that's the next one they are making into a movie, I hope they don't screw it up cos it was one of the better books in the series imo

    I'm currently reading Prachett's Making Money - I find him to be great reading before sleepy time. Either that or whatever graphic novels/collected comics I have lying around. The Dark Knight or Watchmen usually :)

    Jaysis, Dark Knight or watchmen?

    Would you not go for something a bit lighter in the wee small hours? :)

    The darker side of life/literature/art/music just appeals more. I'd usually be listening to some filthy horrendous Doom whislt reading or drifting off to sleep too.

    Excuse me, I am quite clean!

    Actually the message in Dark Knight isn't so dark, compared to Watchmen. Frank Miller is quite the "good conquers all" romantic comic book writer in his own little way.

    My problem is that once I get into a book I'll keep reading and stay awake in order to finish the book rather than sleep - this led my to falling asleep a couple of times in school, especially in fifth year:o

    Still do this - nowadays leads to me being a zombie the next day

    Just to clarify it doesnt lead to me being an actual zombie, just made me seem like same to other people, due to my slow-paced stumbling and lust for fresh brains

    I thought Making Money and Going Postal were pretty poor actually. I also prefer more of the Night Watch.

    Ive just finished reading a bunch of Clive Cusslers and have now moved onto James Rollins. They are both pretty similar authors.
    Prevously it was al of my Pratchetts again, Pyramids and Small Gods FTW.

    I usually go with Pratchett too, I'm rereading Thud! at the minute (the City Watch ones have always been my favourites :))

    Quite a lot of nocturnals seem to be Pratchett fans from this thread.

    People staying up all night reading fantasy books and posting on the internet, geeky-stereotypes ftw! :D
    City Watch ones are always the best tbh. The witches are my least favourite.

    "Sniper One" is my current bedside locker book; finish it tonight I'd say.

    Got "21...." to start. Must get a deck and start learning how to count..

    Memoirs of a Geisha is my fave book.

    Also liked To Kill A Mockingbird.

    At the moment, I've just began to read I Choose To Live, where Sabine Dardenne tells her story about her kidnapping.

    Finished reading 'Hell House' last night (again). Don't know why, but I always want to read that book just before bed, and by candle light for extra atmosphere (also cos my OH is trying to sleep so if I have the bedside light on it's not fair on him).

    Think I'll re-read Disasters at Sea tonight.....

    As well as juggling other books right now I am almost at the end of Stephen King's IT. I have been dragging it on for a couple of years now and in a way I don't want to finish it, I have really enjoyed it. However it will be finished by the end of this week. :(

    Going through Catch 22 at the moment. Hated it at first and gave up but started reading it again and I'm really enjoying it right now.

    I was alternately making my way though the works of Phillip K. Dick and Cormac McCarthy. I took a little break from that after Child of God and to lighten the tone I read The Wasp Factory. Right now I'm almost finished The Man Who Was Thursday which is excellent and after that I'm going to continue with Pratchett. Mort is up next and then I'll probably get to Men At Arms. Don't worry, I've read Guards! Guards! After that maybe more Dick, or maybe something else entirely.
