deadfolk: Weird situation that has never happened to me before. I'm enjoying it so much I don't want to keep reading it as either:
I'm like that with Neal Stephenson's "Reamde." I love it; he's about the only author I don't mind who can be way too wordy. But I stopped halfway through because I don't want it to be over.
Right at this moment...what i am typing :p

Herbie Brennan: Faerie Wars
Some danish books by Dennis Jürgensen.
They haven't been translated into english, so sorry if my title translations is a bit off.

Trouble with the missing mummy
Wood for Draculas coffin
Secret of the burping dragons
Bloodtrails in Transylvania
Trouble with the bandages.

It's a series of books about a boy named Freddy, he's 11 years old and all in for monster comics.
He gets kidnapped by a group of monsters, the monsters are:
Dracula, he's stopped drinking blood because of too much mercury contamination in todays human blood. Instead he drinks red soda.
Eddie, a misunderstood werewolf who doesn't have any lust for blood. Always nicely dressed in a white suit and loves music.
Boris, former known monster, mostly as Frankensteins monster.
Sir Arthur Fieldstein, Noble and polite knigt without his head attached. That same head causes him alot of trouble.
Mummy, the trouble child of the group, always in some kind of trouble. He even has an uncle who is the cousin to a known pharao.
Finally there's Nitan, a popcorn eating and burping dragon.

The books stretches over 5 volumes, all hilarious which can make them hard to read as laughing and keeping a book steady is close to impossible.
Murphy's Law is pretty obvious in the books, if something can go wrong, it will and it keeps repeating in many different scenarios and ways.

It's really a shame that they're only to find in danish language, they should've been translated to many others.
Finished reading Delusion's Master by Tanith Lee: splendid writing style, great characters, insipid story. 3/5, maybe I'm too "manly" for this kind of tales....

monkeydelarge: Stephen King - Needful Things
Stephen king is a really good writer, however i don't like him taking three pages describing an item.

I hate that in books too but in Needful Things, so far, I have not encountered this.

I don't know now because I'm not even half way through the book but I'll let you know later.
Finished George Martin's A Storm of Swords and on to A Feast for Crows. Oh and what a wonderful way to begin the book with about ten new characters (the Dornish) to remember who the hell they are.

Currently re-reading Sandman. I'm reading A Game of You now, because it was after The Doll's House in my bookcase, but apparently I should have been reading Dream Country.

Started re-reading it because I bought Sandman Presents Lucifer and Death: The High Cost of Living on sale at the DC digital store.

Wow, those books are a big part of my childhood. They're all lined up on my bookshelf at home, and I've read them all as bedtime stories to my son, doing voices for each character ;-)

Some of Jürgensens books really ought to be translated into English. For that matter, they all ought to be reprinted in Danish as well. They're almost impossible to get hold of.
Finished The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells and Ubik by Philip K. Dick. Recently started reading Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick, and I love it so far! Definitely turning out to be one of my favorite writers.

Also picked up a lot of used books on sale at the library near my school (23, all-in-all, for only $20), including The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, 10 William Faulkner novels, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut, and three books I'd already read (A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and another I forgot), along with others. I'm really excited to read them! :D
