As far as books go, I think the last one was Terry Pratchett's "Good Omens". It was amazing. So many good quotes and I love the satire. :)

Before that it was Koushun Takami's "Battle Royale", which was gory but highly entertaining. Loved the ending point.

As far as manga, just finished Death Note volume seven. I was so pissed/sad by the end of that volume. :(

That book was freaking depressing. :notrust

Um. I've reread all the Harry Potter books in preparation for the seventh book. Once I'm done with Harry, my to-read-list will be:

(For school)
Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

(For my own entertainment)
The Stand by Stephen King
The Exorcist and Legion by William Peter Blatty
The Divine Comedy by Dante (and of course, it has to be the bilingual version. :nod)

I just finished Petropolis, by Anya Ulinich. It's a black comedy, a really good read, with a hilarious viewpoint on immigration and America. It paints a very absurd picture of life in Russia, and the protagonist is the definition of endearing.

1984

"Such A Pretty Girl", by Laura Weiss.
It made me kind of emo, but I like her prose.
It's about a girl with a pedophile as a father. Dark.
I'd still recommend it, though.

I've also finished The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.
Maybe its just me, but it sounded like a load of philosophical bullshit.
No idea how it made the bestseller's list.

I also finished "Ulysses" (by James Joyce, duh) yesterday and I highly recommend it to anyone. Yeah, it is terribly long and a lot of people who start reading it never finish, but it's a classic and Joyce's style is awsome.

LOL everyone knows the Raven now, thanks to The Simpsons :P

Ahhh, I miss James Patterson. I got really sick of him after a while because of just how over the top violent and horrible his books good. It just wasn't believable.

I've just finished Alice in Wonderland, thought that might be a laugh. He was so fucking high, the book was genius.

But before that, I read The Stuff Of Nightmares by Malorie Blackman. Really good, about a guy who has a train crash, and to escape death, he has to live out his best friends worst nightmares. From Social happenings to imaginations about a future chemical war where the rain makes you melt to marrying the devil....literally! Pretty gripping. Even if the ending is a bit... meh.

Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons". If you want excitement, some history and philosophy and action/suspense thrown in, this is the book for you. IMHO I like this book better than "The DaVinci Code"!

if you want good fantasy fiction without having to wait forever for the author to release the next book, i suggest you pick up Steven Erikson's A Tale of Malazan Book of the fallen.

Finished reading the swedish version (came out last week) of the latest (and last) Harry Potter novel and that in like 2,5 days. ^_^

782 pages gone with the wind of my passion when I find a book that I like and read it like as often as I can. Was rather satisfied with this ending of a magical series. But myself prefer rather more "complex" fantasy nowadays, but it felt nice to end my journey through these seven books like this.
