I just realized that Nil was illustrated by James Turner.
Odd.
i just finished bloodletting and miraculous cures, VERY good,
and Black Dahlia... gory, but good engrossing even
and now im reading all that matters, by wayson choy. pretty good, but tis one of those books that constantly reminds you of the fact that its characters are chinese, by writing something in chinese, then translating it within the same sentence... lame, but a good story...

Goosebumps, ftw!! I literally read every existing Goosebumps book in like 2 weeks when I was a kid. I absolutely love that series! I think I may even have my Night in Terror Tower VHS around here somewhere... (yeah, I'm that much of a dork xP)
MEANWHILE- I'm reading HP7 right now, and am about 1/4 of the way through. It's a good read, but damn is it depressing!!

I'm currently reading Hitchens (God Is Not Great) - he's a pompous ass, but he makes good points. I'm also reading The Assault On Reason by Gore (I'm just starting, no one tell me how it ends) and about to start The Day Watch (because The Night Watch was just freaking oddball enough to hook me).
I used to have an employee who went to the school that Ayn Rand opened up....she was wild. Ayn Rands books? Not so much. I'm sure they are considered torture in at LEAST 62% of countries around the globe. Maybe 64%.

world war z was great. it's all done as people recounting their experiences through out the different stages of the epidemic. not really what i was expecting but still definitely good.
i just finished blue belle by andrew vacshh.
i love this guys style. gritty new york city underworld, conspiracies, theft, murder, etc etc. it's a great book. i need to read the rest of the stuff he's written.
currently working on the plauge by albert camus.
the outsider is one of my favourite books ever. so far this one is holding up. i love camus. yep.
and yesterday i started the tommyknockers by stephen king.
i love him too. like a lot.

I'm currently reading Mass Effect: Revelations by Drew Karpyshyn. Drew Karpyshyn is the guy who wrote the entire plot for the X360 game due out in a little while and chose to write a book to explain to the readers/gamers what happened before to trigger the events of Mass Effect. One nice thing is that it's written by the original writer, so it's not an interpretation of the events by someone else.
By no means is it the best writing on the planet, but it's got a good plot thus far and really gears you up for the game. I know I won't feel as lost going into the game as I imagine I might be with not reading the book.
