Nope, still haven't read it... And I only got to read two from the Left Behind series in depth, although I skimmed through each one and absorbed the major details (like who dies and what happens to Nicolae), and I suppose you can say I read half of the prequel series (mainly the parts about Nicolae). There has been a lack of spare time on my hands. I'll have some by summer and the years after it if all goes well.

 >> Only the blackest of hearts
I'm still in AP World and have found the time to read the first four (and would have read more if it weren't for the fact that I don't own any more then that) - currently reading Dante's Inferno (the advanced, college translation) - hard to get through, but the grotesque imagery is awesome

In all technicalities, I read them, just not as thoroughly as I would have liked. I know the important occurrances, just not the minor details. I only know Nicolae's minor details. And this:
Hail Carpathia, Hail Carpathia
Our lord and risen king
Hail Carpathia, Hail Carpathia
Rules o'er everything
We'll worship him until we die
He's our beloved Nicolae
Hail Carpathia, our lord and risen king

yeah... 'cept cartoons like Family Guy and such... but comics of the American origin are probably meant for teenagers-adults, considering people die (sometimes in gory ways) and many of the women wear very little, or very tight and revealing, clothing.

Book: Wicked by Gregory Maguire, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Movie: The Crow, Fight Club, The Breakfast Club, Clerks, Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, any Disney movie before the year 2000.
TV Show: Law and Order and all its spinoffs, House M.D., Jeopardy, Most Evil, Mythbusters, Ghost Hunters, So Weird
Comic Book: The Crow, Teen Titans, Rurouni Kenshin, Furuba, Chugworth Academy
Cartoon: Death Note, Rurouni Kenshin, Eureka 7, et cetera
Characters: House [House M.D], L and Mello [Death Note], Quasimodo and Jehan [Hunchback of Notre Dame], Haydee and Edmond Dantes [The Count of Monte Cristo] and finally V [V for Vendetta] just because he's totally insane.
Pairings: Isuzu/Hatsuharu, Erik/Christine and Christine/Raoul (explain that paradox to Phantom of the Opera fangirls), L/Mello, L/Raito, Raito/Misa. Finally Elliot/Olivia from Law and Order: SVU. Don't stone me.
Authors/Artists: Gaston Leroux, Edgar Alann Poe. I can't choose my favorite artist.
Actors/Actresses/Voice Actors/Actresses: I can't choose my favorite actors and actresses, but I'll tell you my favorite voice actor: Joshua Seth. Met him once and I froze. He's a pretty cool dude.
Directors: Tim Burton, David Fincher
Book/Comic to Movie/Cartoon Adaption: The best comic to cartoon I've seen would probably be Rurouni Kenshin (although I don't like the style the anime was done in much; the coloring was a bit off) There aren't very many good book-to-movie adaptions that are good enough to choose from.
Other than that, I like watching things that explain history that deals with violence. Like the French Revolution and the invention of "Madame Guillotine." And I have a strange obsession for things mentioning vampires or the Zodiac Killer.
