No not really, since King has been writing it for the past 25 years.

Pygmalion

New Hitchhikers guide (By Eoin Colfer)...

I might have liked it if it wasn't in such a great series, but it is so it brings down the series a huge amount

Got a few Ross O'Carroll Kelly books for Christmas, they're focking hilarious.

I've read all the main ones except the newest one. Great stuff.

Just finished Empire of the Sun(which was class but very sad) and now I think I'm going to re-read Sabriel and all those Garth Nix books...seriously a little bit obsessed with them.

Craguls

Currently reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it's pretty good so far.
Then it's a toss up between The Road, Generation X, The Beach or a Neuroscience book I bought because I'm cool.

Really really enjoyed until the last part.

oh does it makes the first like 700 pages useless

Shacklebolt

A book about the history of the 20th century called 'The Age of Extremes'.. Its really good so far although the writer seems to be a bit of a fan of communism and isn't all that objective.

Oh, you should read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. It's a neurologist telling the stories of some of his patients and cases, it's absolutely brilliant, I'd say you'd enjoy it.

I'm currently reading a book from the True Blood series (my sister loaned me it) and it's not bad. Next on the list are The Lovely Bones and Let the Right One In. \o/ Really looking forward to reading both of them. And I have more book vouchers to spend, Christmas presents.

I'm starting Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk in the morning.

Sounds bad but 99% of history books seem to be written by big fans of Capitalism and aren't objective, yet no-one complains.

You'd be surprised. Iv yet to read a History book that somehow hasn't blamed America in some way or another for causing the many problems we have today. Likewise iv hardly seen alot written bad mouthing USSR's foreign policy during the same period. Though really the Capitalist dream is fictional as with the Socialist one problem being is that American/Americans won't expect that modern politics revolves around a hybrid of both ideologies.

Nothing wrong with a bit of chicklit, though I've never read the books myself.

How are you finding the Dawkins? I bought it months ago but still haven't gotten around to it.

Interesting so far, I'm only in the middle of chapter 2.

Is the Bible in any way entertaining?

I got a book for Christmas called Professor Stewart's Hoard of Mathematical Treasures. It's really interesting, and nerdy, which is always good!

I just re-read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, my favourite book from the Narnia books.

My sister went back to Dublin and left me too books to read: Eat, Pray, Love and The Road. Can't wait to get stuck in:)

Currently reading The Lordship of Ireland in the Middle Ages. As you can already guess, it's thoroughly exciting stuff..

Entertaining isn't really applicable, it's non-fiction, and a book that informs me about living, the world, spiritual things, God and what comes after

I'm currently reading 2 Samuel now.

Do you read all of the bible as non-fiction? Stuff like Genesis?
