After having seen 'The Golden Compass', I have felt an angry need to re-read 'His Dark Materials' before they are ruined entirely by the hackneyed, rushed films.
What are YOU reading at the moment?

I read The Shining a few years ago and loved it; and I just read On Writing, so... I figured, why not read Firestarter?
And the list accumulated from there.
(also, I've loved Crichton since I read JP and TLW in first/second grade... didn't understand half the stuff they were saying.)

A Clockwork Orange. The language confuses the hell out of me, but I will read that book! I shouldn't have ever told myself that I had to read all 106 of those books... I miss my Dragonlance. (I bought the first two of a cycle of three... God, I need that third one badly.)`

The Shining scared the s**t outta me.
Mostly cause it was three in the morning and the door decided to creak, but that's beside the point.
XD
On Writing is also good.

Ugh. I owned probably about twenty of them at one point. But then I got old and realized they were silly and gave them to half price books.

At present, I'm reading:
-The Barmaid's Brain and Other Strange Tales from Science
-Vol. 2 of TinTin comics (for school project, but also curiosity)
-Alec: How to Be an Artist (same as above)
-The Poetic Edda (off and on, since it's a collection)
-The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (I need to finish my re-read one day)
-Macbeth (on hold as well, due to AP Lit load)
-Sagas of the Icelanders (off and on, mostly due to its immense size [my backpack is heavy enough already], but also because it's a collection)
And a host of other books that are lying around my house. I feel the need to re-read American Gods and the first two Myst books so that number three will make more sense.
