I'm about to start reading Rose Madder by Stephen King again. If you haven't read it yet, and you're a big King fan, it will NOT disappoint. Most of it is realistic, but it's also got some sci fi mixed in. It's about a woman who leaves her abusive psycho cop husband on a whim, her new life, and him tracking her down. It's kind of long, but well worth the read.
I'm currently reading [url]The Brimstone Wedding by Barbara Vine[/url] (aka Ruth Rendell). It was recommended to me almost 10 years ago and I bought it right away, then lost track of it! I put it away in my closet and piled things on top of it - only recently finding it. It's funny, because the situation in the book is very important as it relates to something that happened to me a long time ago - it's the reason the friend recommended the book 🙂 I wonder now how I would have been absorbing it if I'd read it when I was "supposed" to 🙂
It's very good. It's british, and very obviously so - there are entire paragraphs that are very very different from american. Like "I rang round to her flat" instead of "I went to her apartment". I love how we speak the same language 2 totally different ways!
I just finished reading 'My Impossible Love' by Durjoy Datta. The book is about Danish who is a nobody as compared to his overachieving younger brother who is more intelligent and more successful than him. Life takes a turn when Danish joins a school as a counsellor for troubled teenagers where he meets Aisha.
Right now I'm reading Jeannette Winterson's Written on the Body. It's incredibly sensual, emotionally powerful and very in touch with the desires of the body and the mind. It's a novel unlike any other I've read I'm also reading Miranda July's The First Bad Man and Anais Nin's A Spy In the House of Love.
I'm the type of guy who never really ends a book, so I'm currently reading a few of them, The Shining by Stephen Kind, which I started 6 months ago, The Danish Girl which I started reading a year ago, and I just start reading Misery by Stephen King and it just trapped me, I can't take my eyes off it, it's so good! So I hope that I end it in a short period of time.
I'm currently rereading Games of Thrones which is weird because I know this book from front to back and vice versa. Most of the time I read business books and Biology books. I'm a biology major with a minor in Business Administration.
Right now I 'm reading 'Follow your rainbow' by Rashmi Bansal. The book tells the stories of 25 enterprising women who took up the challenge of raising a family as well as a business. These stories of very successful female entrepreneurs who started from a scratch and now have annual turn over of crores are an inspiration.
I enjoy reading self-help/psychology books and recently I got into the whole improving relationships/love genre. I'm almost finished with False Love & Other Romantic Illusions. However, I also picked up Bad Days in History. It's quite funny so I think I'm going to take a step back from the self help books for a while and focus on other types of books.
I just finished Les Miserables so I'll just be reading trashy novels for a while. It was a great story, but fluffed-up with crap. It's a 400-parge book in 1200 pages.
Im currently reading Flyboys: by James Bradley which about the bravery of ww2 pilots.Ive just got done with The lake house by James Patterson
I'm not much of a book reader. I started reading 48 Laws of Power. It's an interesting book.
There are three books which I'm reading currently, they are two books from H. P Lovecraft and one from George R. R Martin.
1. The Shadow Over Innsmouth
2. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories
3. Fire and Blood
