I like action, and when there are too many useless details, I get bored
but it could be the fact that we were forced to read Agatha Christie, so we all hate her xD
I like him, but not that much. I've only read 2 of his books
Which ones have you read? I suspect when you've written as many books as the famous authors, you're bound to have some which are really popular and some which aren't. Call it a numbers game.

:< I loved it.The details were fun for me. On a related note to what you've been posting, I think we have very different taste in books because I'm one of the rare few people who doesn't enjoy Stephen King. I admit that they are very hard to put down but I've been very unsatisfied by how he ended things several times.

Just finished Murder on the Orient Express a few days back. The lady is queen of crime for a reason.
I agree, gotta love a good plot twist to fuck your mind. xD

No judging lol. I just started reading Grey, because why not.
But also currently reading The Stranger's Child.

Reading The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls. I read The Glass Castle by her so I thought I should try another.
Finished >.>
Might read her other book now.

Mary Higgins Clark is nice and all but I don't like having mini heart attacks as I read.
Joyce Carol Oates tends to be too messed up for me.
Agatha Christie is just nice without the chest-pains and humanity-killing.

I just finished A Guide to Rational Living by Albert Ellis and Robert Harper. It's really helped me to approach relationships, decisions, and emotions from a logical standpoint and realize that I am in control of my actions and future. I'm currently reading Quicksilver, a historical fiction by Neal Stephenson, my fav. author. Some of his best work, in my opinion.
Sieg Zeon!

Two new books in. Trying to figure which one to start first:
11/22/63 by Stephen King ~or~ Seveneves by Neal Stephenson
Love me a good Stephenson novel ever since I read Snow Crash, but the subject of 11/22/63 appeals to me slightly more.
So... guess I'll start with that then.
Can never go wrong with King though.

I'm on page ~100 and I'm so confused about what's going on. But for some weird reason, I don't want to stop reading, as it usually happens when I'm confused.
You will be confused until the end of the last book, and then you'll be confused again.
I'm reading The Dark Tower all over again.

Oh lord, yes. I... am... so... damn... hooked lol
I'm kinda torn about how small the issues are. I like the fact it's a light reading (in terms of quantity of pages, not in terms of gore and plot lol), but I've never read comics before (Disney doesn't count) so I'm still getting used to the less-words-more-images thingy, but I'm loving it.

I've just finished Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews. If you dig urban fantasy you cannot go wrong with this series. It's flawless.
I'm on the fence about what to read next. I have another Andrews book queued up but I might want to go with a different something or another.

Oh well.

I was VERY frustrated with the ending on "Cell". I'm still wating for a sequel because that's no way of ending a story like that! But at the same time, extending that story for the sake of clarity of that end would be death of it. Deep down (very very deep) I think it ended when and how it was supposed but damn me if I'm not curious till today of something I read in almost a decade lol
*shake fists at Stephen King*
THAT was exactly the one that turned me against Stephen King. It felt like he wrote most of it, burned out and then decided to just wing the ending like "whatevs"
I don't exist!

The Picture of Dorian Gray. I got through the preface (by the author) and I'm already pleasantly confused.
One of, if not my favorite
Creature of the Night

Gardens of the Moon, first book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.
So far it is good.

My next classic for sure. However, I will complain that popular culture might have given just about all of it away (League of Extraordinary Gentleman; Penny Dreadful).
