Most recent books I've read were Graveyard Boy and Good Omens both by Neil Gaiman.
Um... You mean "The Graveyard Book"?

I feel the same way about the romance novels, I will read them when I want to shut my mind off though. I read Good Omens recently also. What did you think of it? I'm hoping that my grandma will send me The Graveyard Book for my birthday here in the next couple of days so that I can read that one too.

It was delightful ^_^ My favorite characters consist of Pepper, Crowley, Aziraphale and Sable. I found it witty, creative and I learned a lot about England too : D

tinuviel_nyx I typically read literature, particularly British literature written before the turn of the twentieth century. I have a penchant for the Gothic, Romantic, and children's literature. I do, however, read modern works on occasion, if the subject matter interests me. Most recently, I finished the second book in Frank Beddor's Looking-glass Wars trilogy, Seeing Redd. The premise of this series is that Wonderland does exist, and Alice had escaped to England through a portal after her mother, the queen of Wonderland, was killed by her wicked aunt. Eventually, she is able to find a way to return to Wonderland and wage war against her aunt for Wonderland's throne. While I rather enjoyed the first book, the sequel was a bit lacking. In its nearly four-hundred pages, very little happens. It does not help matters that Beddor, a screenwriter by trade, writes in a manner reminiscent of Jerry Bruckheimer summer blockbusters. He spends more time describing the various ways that things explode than he does on characterization. Needless to say, I'm only reading the third book because I want to know what happens in the end. It was an inventive idea, but he steered it in the wrong direction, I think. Currently, I am back to reading literature, specifically Matthew Lewis' classic, The Monk. I am only 2/3 of the way through currently, but it has been absolutely enthralling to watch Ambrosio's descent into sin. I shall write more when I have finished. I read the first of Frank Beddor's books and really liked it smile I had heard there were sequels but wasn't sure if I wanted to read them. I may or I may not...
