Book List/Recommendations?

[toranoko]

Right now I'm currently reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the origin for that kickin' Showtime show, Dexter. :thumbs: (If you are allergic to reading, at least watch the show.) But I'm like, probably going to finish this book and the next one fairly soon...

So, anyone currently reading a good book, have a summer reading list, or any recommendations?

All of Amy Tan's books are AMAZING to me, and I enjoy reading them over and over. "The Kitchen God's Wife", "The Bonesetter's Daughter", "The Joy Luck Club", and "A Hundred Secret Senses".

Also, "Memoirs of a Geisha" was a very good read...if you liked the movie you'll love the book ten times more.

The Books of Blood by Clive Barker
Cabal by Clive Barker

 

[Barom 1]

The Pendergast novels by Child & Preston are good, really enjoyed Relic, Reliquary, Cabinet of Curiosities and Still Life With Crows. You usually can't go wrong with Philip K Dick stories, especially his short story anthologies.

The Time Machine was okay, but the ending kind of pissed me off. The Invisible Man is a better H.G. Wells novel.

Some of my favorite books, though, are 1984, A Scanner Darkly, The Catcher in the Rye, and Die Softly by Christopher Pike.
