The Golden Compass for a short while. Wanted to see what all the hullabulloo was about. Not that great of a story. Still giving it a chance because I'm only about 95 pages in. Also, Hawkes Harbor by S.E. Hinton. And a few of Edgar Allen Poe's wokrs here and there. Just for inspiration.

The Legacy - R. A. Salvatore

Started reading 'Domes Of Fire' from 'The Tamuli' trilogy by David Eddings...

Finally got around to reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip k. Dick. It's nothing like Bladerunner (one of my favorite films), only very loosely based on it and it's difficult to get the same imagery from the book and the film...the cyber-punk dystopian look of the film is brilliant. The story goes much deeper in the book than the film though, with many more moral questions raised and plenty of back story that can be called on when watching Bladerunner.

Decent book, anyway.

Right now I'm reading a Japanese novel called "Tunnel" by Tatsuya Yoshimura. So far, it's pretty interesting, but the first chapter had so many Japanese horror stereotypes in it, that I almost thought "Can't you try something a little more original?"

I tend to read the Kadokawa Bunko Horror books because, even if they're long (for a Japanese book. Like 600-700 pages), I still find them very enjoyable to read and I find myself flying through them. The last one I read before this one was "Mizuchi" which had a lot of really difficult words and ancient writing patterns, excerpts from the kojiki (the oldest surviving book in Japan from around 650-700 AD). That book, however, was very very unique and different and was unlike any horror story I've ever read before.

The Audacity of Hope - Barack Obama, and Man in the High Castle - Philip K. Dick.

After I've finished these I start the daunting ideal of reading King's 'The Dark Tower', something i've never read...the 7 books are sat staring at me from the book case

I just finished reading 'Your Inner Fish' by Neil Shubin. It's a history of the evolution of the human body that goes back WAYYY before apes. It's non-technical, has lots of diagrams and is funny.
