I am currently reading Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice. This is the last book in the Vampire Chronicles about Lestat, whom by the way I love! I recommend this series to anyone who loves vampires, especially cynical ones.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind


I haven't gotten that far in it yet, but it's pretty interesting so far. I hope the movie comes back to S. Florida though, cause I'd like to see it =D

Aggro is a term from massively multiplayer games that is, in essence, a measurement of how much monsters hate you. I always had a feeling they were pretty mad, but I didn't know who they were mad at or exactly how much.

Cities of Salt by Abdelrahman Munif.
It's technically 'magical realism' but it's more like just 'realism without real names of places'.  It really helps you understand so much about...well...everything that's gone and going on. What really happened and how people felt, more than just on a factual basis.

Just the characters are hard to get straight. Everyone's got the same name ('cause of how they name kids. >_<) so it's good to keep a list and short description on the back cover or your bookmark. A big bookmark.

Also the Abridged Version of the Classic Monkey King. by Wu Ch'eng-en translated by Arthur Waley.
I'm planing on going for the non-abridged version next. I'm missing so much culture here >___<
I know th story too well, but I can't get tired of reading it more.

And lastly, while on planes, I've been motoring through Will Write for Food by Dianne Jacob.
A book detailing the competitive, and secretive industry of Food Writing. Not only reviews, but Recipe, food anthropology, and inside reviews on food and food cultures.

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett. It's an awesome book! I love the Discworld Books.

Before that I read The Cat Who Said Cheese by Lillian Jackson Braun. I highly recommend The Cat Who books. They're so good!

Oh hey! I love Souseki Natsume (I read his 'Kokoro' I've been meaning to read 'I am a Cat')

Fun info: Until fairly recently, he was on the 2,000 yen bill, because he' s made of the awesome. Known as one of the greatest modern (ish) authors of Japan.

I love James Patterson and those types of books (the Alex Cross novels are my favorite).

I just finished Roses are Red and started reading Along Came a Spider.

Right now i'm read three books a once but my thrid one i put down to try to finish this book a friend loned to me called, Thomas Covenant the Unbelever by Stephen R. Donaldson. It's a okay book kinda boring so far but i told my friend i would read it so i'm reading it.

also i'm rereading Mercedes Lackey's The Last Herald Mage Trilagy. I'm rereading book three because i already reread book one and book two i cry though the whole book so i skipped it and went to three. then i'm going to most likely reread The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova or Beka Copper-Terrier by Tamora Pierce.

Tamora Pierce is my favorte auther and i own every book she ever wrote. and the Historian is a vampire book and i love vampire books!!!

*smiles* thanks for reading my little rubish.

*waves* byes now!
