I've just finished exams so I have had the time to read lately, other than text books and lecture notes, but I am planning on reading "Neuromancer" by William Gibson and "The witch on the Doorstep and other short stories" by H.P Lovecraft (I have read the Lovecraft short stories a hell of a lot though.)

Beyond the Shadows by Brent Weeks. Think Assassins Creed.

It's the last book of the Night Angel Trilogy, and I've nearly finished it. Amazing books!
This, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
As a Swede, I feel so happy hearing that a Brit is interested in our books!
It's a fantastic book, put my pre-order in for the Blu Ray release as well. Although I will not watch it until I finish the book!
Smart move. In fact, you should follow my advice and not watch it until you've read the second book as well. There's a minor (well, for a given value of minor) spoiler about Lisbeth's childhood. It's not like they're revealing some Big Secret or anything, but I still wish I'd read the second book before I watched the first movie.

"An Analysis Of Literary Theory," in preparation for a brutal class next semester.

In terms of something I'm actually enjoying, though... "The Faerie Queene," by Edmund Spenser.

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Kind of dull, actually. Which makes me not want to read the original. Maybe they movie with Natalie Portman will be better?
Depends, will she show some skin?
But I agree, it is not as good as I expected it to be. That'll teach me buying a book just because it's considered classic literature with more zombies...
Yeah. That's also why I stayed away from "Sense And Sensibility and Sea Monsters".

Everything's Eventual by Stephen King.
It is a bunch of King short stories. It is pretty good, and it has a nice combination of funny horror and serious horror.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Only fifty pages into it, but I'm finding it intriguing.

I was reading, The Name of the Wind and Cyrano de Bergerac, but I finished both of them (the latter is a play, actually.). They were both amazing, with The Name of the Wind having a quote that I will always remember.

I'm reading Xenocide by Orson Scott Card, a good SiFi book with lots of twists and more spaceflight and aliens than Mass Effect, but this is one of the last of his books in the series so if you interested start with Ender's Game.
I would reccomend "Ender's Game" to ANYONE. So beautifully written.


I'm currently reading it's partner novel "Ender's Shadow", both by Orson Scott Card.

Twisted metal by Tony Ballentyne its so boreing I feel like shooting myself in the head just so I don't have to finish it, but my curiosity about how it ends keeps me reading anyway.

I'm assuming you've seen the movie too? That book is good but strange huh, it differs a bit in some areas from the film although I liked it overall.

Currently, the Age of Fire [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Fire] series (dragons made into more practical beasts) by E. E. Knight.

Though I've started about a few other books that I haven't managed to finish yet. I've also been enjoying the Vampire Files [http://www.vampwriter.com/ESCOTT'S%20OFFICE.htm] (detective/mystery-murder/fantasy) by P. N. Elrod.

I'm reading Clockwork Orange right now. Got a lot on my list right now, but next I think will be 1984 or Fight Club. Clockwork is fantastic, but I'm kind of rushing through so I can watch the movie haha.

Surprisingly enough, I haven't seen the movie, but I do plan on seeing it.
