Books!

For those who wants their fantasy & magic fix during the holidays (ala Harry Potter), I urge you folks to give this one a go

Bartimaeus is a fantasy series by Jonathan Stroud consisting of a trilogy published from 2003 to 2005. The titular character, Bartimaeus, is a five-thousand-year-old djinni, a spirit of approximately mid-level power. There are five basic levels of spirits; in order of increasing strength they are: imps, foliots, djinni, afrits and marids. Above these levels exist even more powerful entities, who are rarely summoned. Human magicians use spells to compel these spirits to perform feats of power.

funny you mention this, as I hve those three in mind to read for some time now

ill_clinton, similar to mine, few years ago I was really under strong influence of russian writer specially Dostoyewski and Nabokov, also 100 years of solitude is one of my favourite
but still polish writers have biggest power on me, like Witkacy, Bursa, Wojaczek; even lyrics polish songs has big meanings for us and I dont talk about plastic pop culture now of course

One of my favourite books as a child was The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
It's a lovely story. I've always wanted to find a key to a secret place...

this book, "The Historian", is the best i ever read

Picked up the 20th Anniversary Edition of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.

A bit excited for my train ride home today.

BATTLE ROYALE!!!! my big big llooove *_* ^^

ooh I love books^^

Anne Rice's vampire chronicles are pretty much what got me started
The Tale of the Body Thief and Blood and Gold where the best books by her I think

Chuck Palahniuk is just an awesome author, he's most known for Fight Club but I think Choke is awesomeness ^^

Last book I read was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and I just loved it, I will read all HP-books!

Two other faves are:
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Alexandre Dumas' The Count Of Monte Cristo

I love non-fiction, mostly about sports, inspiration,....
The Blindside - Michael Lewis.


Except one:

The Hunger Games Series - Suzanna Collins.
