Old Yeller is a touching book that and To Kill a Mockingbird. That's a good book. And if any of you have ever read it, my friend tends to call me Jean Lousie (Scout) because I act like her and he's Jem.

I'm currently reading The Demonata series, by Darren Shan. Brilliant books! I must say.
Just finished book 4 (Bec). Book 5 supposably comes out in November (if I was in the UK, I would have it now. stare ), plus a "part 2" in which the name, release date, and cover will not be mentioned (well until it comes out. wink ). He's never done anything like this before, so I do wonder what surprise is in store for the next read.

Highly recommended if you enjoy a bit of horror/fantasy. 3nodding

I'm more into reading short stories these days; when I get the chance, that is. I read a good bit of H.P. Lovecraft, Harlen Ellison, and Ray Bradbury.

As for novels/ novelists:
Garth Nix - The Abhorsen Trilogy
Lloyd Alexander - The Prydain Chronicles
Robin McKinley- The Hero or the Crown and The Blue Sword
Neil Gaiman - pretty much all his stuff XD
Terry Pratchett - same; I adore his writing
Chuck Palahniuk - see above
Edith Hamilton - her Mythology anthologies are amazing


And lots more.. my brain doesn't wanna think. lol

These are some of my favorite books ever:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel
The Neverending Story

There are also a lot more I can't remember now... some of these are real classics, so I'm not recommending anything much new. However, if you happen to have not read any of them, do give it a try! heart

I didn't cry, but I felt bad. He wasn't a favorite, but I disliked that he had to go.

I liked the fourth one best, and I cried too. My sister had my convinced that Ms. (or is it Mrs.?) Norris, that one guys cat, was going to die. I was sad about that, but then I felt silly when I found out it was actuly Dumboldore and not the kitty.
