I've just started Forms of Feeling but so far it's amazing.

Just finished The Ruins. And I'm nearly done with I am America, and So Can You! by Stephen Colbert.

Is The Ruins the book that was just released as a feature film and was it as terrifying as the commercial advertised?
Honestly, I didn't pay too much attention to the commercials. I just viewed the movie trailer for it, and it looks like it left out details of the book that I think should be important - how many people went up to the ruins, who went down in the shaft, who felt the vines inside of them, etc......all these details were important in the book for the sake of the character and plot development.
As far as the book goes - it's pretty frekkin' horrific. I really liked it and couldn't stop reading it whenever I had a spare moment. I had to know how the story would end, and it isn't peaceful or comforting at all. :cover: :angel2:
Oh, and I just finished I Am America, and So Can You!
I am reading The Echo and The Breaker by Minette Walters.

Street Girls, by Matt Roper.
It's an excellent little book about a subject very close to my heart: the street girls of Brazil. Matt Roper is a Christian who, several years ago, started a project called Meninadanca ("Girl Dance") in Belo Horizante, Brazil, to minister to and rescue some of these girls. I've already been profoundly moved by the stories of these girls contained in the book.

I just evicted all of my textbooks from my room now that I'm all gradumuhcated. Now that I actually have time to read for PLEASURE again, I've started working my way though William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition", a book schoolwork kept forcing me to put down during the last... year? Year and a half?
I should be reading "New Earth" or whatever it's called (I think Toulle or something like that is the author) because I promised my mother I would, but pop spirituality isn't really my thing and I don't care overly much whether or not Oprah thinks it's great. Le sigh.

I read that about three or four months ago and I thought it was great. My girlfriend informs me that The Kite Runner is perhaps even better.
No Time For Goodbye by Linwood Barclay. Good suspense book.
