Just finished Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman yesterday. Loved it! But I keep hearing that it's one of his weaker works? If that's true, then he'll probably become one of my favourite authors :lol: Currently reading Stardust.

I'm about to finish Felicias Journey by Cannie Möller.
After that one I really don't know which book I should read next.

Neverwhers amazing, dont read Smoke and Mirrors though. I like Lord of the Flies (its epic) and anything by Terry Pratchett.

^ Heh, I hated Lord of the Flies. I mean, it's cool to analyze in class, but I just did not enjoy reading it at all.

Have yet to read anything by Terry Pratchett, but I probably will during the school year.

Finishing Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett now actually. Should be done by tomorrow. Finished Stardust a few days after I posted I was reading it. :lol:

Have just started reading, or I should say re-reading, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.
Read it senior year in highschool, for my english class. Was bored by it, didnt understand all of it, my english wasn't as good as it is now. Still got very good grades, some of the best of my class, but it's nowhere near how my english is now. And now.. I love it. Started reading a few hours ago, am at about one third of it now, in like two hours? Just flying through it, quite intriguing, but am so happy our world hasn't turned out like that yet. Also, from a biological point of view, it's interesting to read how, in the 1930's, they pictured that particular way of reproduction, some of it is so out of date now. :lol:

Yesterday I went to the library, got The Footprints of God by Greg Iles and Requiem for the Sun, by Elizabeth Haydon. So those will be the books I read next.

I started re-reading Master and Margarita by Michail Bulgakov, but I decided that I need something much more entertaining - so I re-read few Pratchett's book and now I finished first part of the trilogy by Lynn Flevelling - Bone Doll's Twin. Easy readable fantasy that doesn't require usage of your brain. I need to go bug a friend for the other two parts.

Oh the characters themselves are not really fascinating.. but what do you expect after the conditioning they recieved? It's more the world that I find intriguing.. I love everything (post)apocalyptic, and though this doesn't really classify, it's sort of related.. a future world so alien and altered from what we have now, it gets you thinking.
I decided to check your myspace profile to see what books you did like, was surprised to see you like Lovecraft (I love his stories), though I don't particularly like The Hound.. ;)

I had to read Brave New World for school, too; in the beginning I hated it because of all that extremely scientific terms and stuff, but when that was over I quite liked it. The characters are really not that interesting, though, imo.

At the moment I'm reading Deathly Hallows for the *thinks* third or fourth time..

i guess why i didn't like brave new world is cause it's so anti utopian and i myself thought that it didn't show all sides of a utopia...i have read and researched a lot about utopias because i had to write an essay on that topic and only then i realized how badly brave new world actually presents a utopia

oh yeah and i love lovecraft, just cause he can create situation very well..when i read his stories i almost feel as if i'm there...and he's very inspiring for my own work as well

I partly agree on that.
What I like about it is how the two worlds (the "new" world and the "savage" world) and their inhabitants and rules were described, especially in comparison.
