It's like the song thread. It can be any reading material; something online, magazines, etc., but mainly books and novels. In case anyone wants some suggestions, check in here. ^_^

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
The Dive from Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer

First is this Victorian sensation novel; looked interesting. Second is self-explanatory. Third, been wanting to read it for a long time, and then I saw the Lifetime movie, but the book is different; lots more details and more complex.

I'm re-reading Shadow in the Wind by Carloz Zuriz.
It's one of my favs and I've started on a book written by Hitlers secretary.
Great Expectations is a great read.

Jesus, i just realized there are seven :P Okay, so because of Laura I'm reading the english version of Kathy Reichs' "Monday Mourning" (the rest in german), then Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" or "Sakrileg", Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" or "Diabolus", Val McDermid's "A Place of Execution" or "Ein Ort für die Ewigkeit", Jan Burke's "Nine" or "Das neunte Opfer", Peter Prange's "The Philosopher's Kiss" or "Die Philosophin" and Åke Edwardson's "Låt det aldrig ta slut" or "In alle Ewigkeit" (couldn't find the english title)...

Sam Rockwell was in "Charlie's Angels", wasn't he?

[+] One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

"The simply told story of a typical, grueling day of the titular character's life in a labor camp in Siberia, is a modern classic of Russian literature and quickly cemented Solzhenitsyn's international reputation upon publication in 1962."

Currently I'm not reading anything but I would like to suggest a few books:

Ring (By Koji Suzuki)
Spiral (By Koji Suzuki)
Loop (By Koji Suzuki) <~~~~These three books are freakin AWESOME if you like Scary/Sci-Fi type books.

Also Read:

The Blue Dress (I have no idea who it's by but it's a GREAT book)
A Handmaid's Tale (By Margret Atwood)

And Read any of the Prey Books by John Sanford...Certain Prey and Winter Prey come to mind...I've read more then that but I can't think of any titles.

Stephen King books that are my favorites are as follows (Not in any particular order)

IT
Pet Sematary
Needful Things
The Stand
Carrie
Night Shift
The Dead Zone

For Any Teen readers out there try Christopher Pike especially the Chain Letter books. Also Try "Sweet Sixteen and never been killed" I don't know who that's by either but it's Great! All those books are horror books.

Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half-waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled....perhaps not even in death?

School starts on Thursday. I had to read & journalize two of a list before it starts. So this summer vacation I had to read:

"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens
"1984" by George Orwell

I like Charles Dickens and the story was good, though the grammar was atrocious. (I know why it was, it just bugged me.)

George Orwell is a great writter with an imaginative mind. "1984" is better written. However, I hated the subject matter. (It goes against things I believe in.)

For fun, I read anything and everything by Lori Wick. She is the best author ever! ;) I have all of her novels and have read each of them at least 5 times. :)
