^ rings a bell... hmm. thats probably me being me though =)

im reading Extras by Scott Westerfeld and i love it. I loved Pretties, Uglies and Specials - it was originally a trilogy but he decided to put more into it and im so happy he did.

 

welcome to Ratty303 and Orryl Oak ... glad to see some new face.

I'm still reading Glue by Irvine Welsh, and enjoying it more as the story goes on.

 

Well, I'm readom gmy way through the local library, so not many new books for me.

At the moment I'm reading 'The Fall"-Camus. I'm enjoying it even if I find some of his language a bit irritating. I have yet to get to the meat of the tale, but I do think that there will be a lot of food for thought.

 

David Pearce - The Hedonistic Imperative
Online book/long essay about escaping the ponderous nature of darwinian evolution, and the pursuit of ecstasy (the state of being not the drug) through biology and genetics.

I have a shitload of Camus to get through. I bought 6 of his books off eBay for Christmas, and my to-read list is just building up.

 

Sociology by Anthony Giddens, dont have time for anything else!

 

sunbathing in the rain xD
on the cover it says "a cheerful book about depression" that it made me smile and the fact its a memoir pretty much "sold" it for me (i got it from the school library)

 

Sherlock Holmes a whole bunch of short stories

A history of myth, by Karen Armstrong.

 

I've read some of Karen Armstong's work on fundamentalism, it's very insightful....

 

The puzzle of ethics by Peter vardy and Paul Grosch.

 

The Essence of Tao, by Pamela Ball.
70p at the local sally army shop
The title is a bit of a joke if you know taoism at all!

 

The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula LeGuin.

I saved £6 by buying the Puffin rather than the Penguin edition. They have practically identical cover designs apart from a little logo in the corner.

 

Terrence Mckenna Food or the gods

 

Food of the gods.

 

dystopia/utopia and sci fi as background for english coursework: the left hand of darkness by ursula le guin, and nineteen eighty four by george orwell.

plus a book on stalin and a book on 'nazism'. happy reading..

 

The history of love by Nicole Krauss

 

The Vanished Man by Jeffery Deaver

 

for that topic, you should be reading Le Guin's The Dispossessed as well...
