Poppy Z Brite - 'Exquisite Corpse'

Very adult, very explicit and quite shocking.  Very well-written but not for the faint-hearted.

I have recently finished the Tomorrow, when the began series and it's book sequel The Ellie Chronicles. It is a really great series, I would highly recommend it. There's a movie for the first book coming out in September aswell.

Iain M Banks - The Algebraist. Absolutely can't stop reading Banks' sci-fi, especially the Culture series.

I agree his writing is amazing - really worth reading for those that havn't and like that sort of thing.

Another writer along a similar line is Alaistair Reynolds - also highly recommended.

I'm reading Outliers by Malcom Gladwell.  It is pretty good.

The Hidden Brain: How Our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars, and Save Our Lives

Click the link above and then click PLAY to listen to a very interesting 30 minute interview with the author. I highly recommend listening.

This book should be mandatory reading for everyone so we can become aware of how our unconscious brain controls our behavior. (In my opinion, psychology should be a school subject by 4th grade. It is at least as important as geography or history.)

I have not actually read the book yet, but I'm putting it on my "to read" list. The interview with the author is very interesting. I was already aware of many of the studies he refers to, but I still learned a lot.

A biography of country singer Hank Williams.

Have now finished the first two Millennium books by Stieg Larsson. As much as I was expecting them to be the usual tripe, they're actually very good and quite tantalising - both times I've spotted one of the plot twists only for another couple to mischievously appear later on. I approve!

Don Quijote, part II by Cervantes

A Crown of Swords, Book Seven of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

I've read the first nine books of the series before, but I'm rereading them, so I'm refreshed for reading the later books that I haven't read yet.

I've been reading the Silmarillion off and on...maybe I should finish it! 

[biohazard]

I have just finished Bram Stokers Dracula.

[NudeBoldo]

I have just finished The Book Thief by Markus Zusak...it's about a girl in Nazi Germany which steals books. The book is told by death and written in a very good and witty way.

Just finished another of the Tweed novels by Colin Forbes - The Janus Man. Not his best, but still a damn good one.
