Finished Gone With the Wind the other day, and barely started The Canterbury Tales. Also bought two new books today: "QED: the strange theory of light and matter" by Richard Feynman and "In search of Schrodinger's Cat" by John Gribbin. All 3 will be my summer reading :lol:

Hey don't laugh, it's the kind of books I read for fun too!! Okay, Gone with the Wind doesn't really draw me, Canterbury tales I have thought about reading.. and the physics books, well they're a little too, how you say, regular physics for me. I myself like more astrophysics.. but I like a bit of physics too. Just wish I didn's suck at it hee hee, I have to go through a lot of effort to get it, doesn't stop me tho. :roll:

Just finished reading The Vampire Vittorio the day before yesterday, Anne Rice. It sucked! I love Anne Rice, but this was one of her less appealing books, I loved Pandora, but this one... nah. Stays very bland, it doesn't really drag you in, It feels like it's written in a rush.

Now I am reading Wormwood, by G. P.Taylor. Bought it on sale, had no idea what it was about except for what was written on the back, had never heard of it before. Is ok so far, bit odd, but haven't gotten that far yet.

Waiting for L.K. Hamilton's Bite, and Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Mercy to be delivered. :roll:

Gone With the Wind wasn't bad... Took quite a while, but I enjoyed it. The physics books I'm mainly reading, on recommendation from my physics professor this past spring quarter, to prepare myself for a few courses I have to take for my major in the winter and the spring. Looking forward to the one by Feynman; I read his "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" last year and loved it (despite his arrogance in some parts)! :)

I'm currently trudging through Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Most depressing book I've ever read.

Reading nonfiction books always makes me feel smart. :)

Finished "Elric of Melnibone" a while ago. It was cool, great written, Elric is interesting person, so not typical for fantasy books. Yet it didn't stun me. But I'm gonna read the next volumes, heard that they're more interesting.

Since those books aren't mine and I tend to damage books really much, I took other book with me, when I was going to Krakow last week. On the way there I've read only two stories: Bram Stoker's "The burial of the Rats" and E. A. Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". It was ok, not bad, nothing special.

In Krakow I bought myself another book, only cause it was in a very cheap bookstore, and started to read it on a ride back. It's polish book, in translation it'd be "Constellation of the executioner" or something like that. It's placed in a historical reality, but it's fantasy. Quite interesting and very well written, using a bit archaic language.

Argh, a bit since I posted. Finished Kushiel's Justice, was wrong about which one was the second part but ordered the right one none the less, so now I am waiting for the cheap paperback to come out this month, have it on pre-order. :roll:
Bite was crap, I mean the Laurell Hamilton story was great, an Anita Blake story is always good. :) But the rest of the writers in there were crap, I actually didn't finish some of the stories cause they were so badly written. Urban Fantasy they call it, blah, any idiot can write that.

Now, Nightseer by Laurell Hamilton, another book I still had lying around.

Think I'll start one of my Lovecraft story books again, or maybe Poe. Am in the mood for such an atmosphere again. Truely I LOVE Lovecraft. Think I'll go to check up on the progress of that At The Mountains if Madness film.. loved that story. :)

^ I'm reading that next :D

Finished Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince. I'm not sure what to say about it...I definitely enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the seventh (and last) book.

Started reading "QED: the strange theory of light and matter" by Feynman the other day. Good so far.
