Hearts Torn Asunder by Sherzahd
"Hearts Torn Asunder" is a very good read.
I've just started, "Sweet Tooth" by Ian McEwan. Don't let his prizes and 'high lit' reputation scare you off. This is a spy novel, of sorts, set in the '70's with a female protag/narrator and is written in first person. So far, it's been both a good read and an education on how to handle first person.

It happened at a church summer camp so it must be true, right? ;)

Just finished, 'Sweet Tooth' by Ian McEwan. Can't recommend a book more highly. It's a combination love story and sort of a spy thriller centered aroun a young writer in GB during the early '70's and his relationship with a MI5 employee. Most of the book is written in first person from a female POV. Don't let McEwan's prizes or high lit rep put you off. This is a great read and IMO' must reading for would-be prize winning writers.

I've no idea if this book will be worth the time it took to download...but the title was just too much to resist.

Some violence. 2012.

Currently I'm reading 'The perks of being a wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky. I watched the movie a month ago then decided to read this book. The book is even better than the movie in my opinion.
Just finished, "The Generals Mistress" by Jo Graham. It is one of the most erotic mainstream (historical fiction) novels I've come across, so to speak, and among the best written stories I've read in some time. While the sex is hot, the story is about the protag's coming to terms with her own sexual identity during the Napoleonic Era. It's well-done and very erotic, but not porn. Highly recommended, especially to would be published authors of mainstream fiction with significant erotic content.

Neal Stephenson's trilogy, 'The Baroque Chronicles' (Quicksilver, The Confusion, The System of the World) carries the unusual double-lable of: science fiction and historical fiction. It also contains: fantasy, adventure (Barbary pirates and galley slaves) , humor, philosophy, sex (a Turkish harem and a French hay loft), and famous secondary characters such as Isaac Newton and Louis XIV. Check it out.

Lord Of The Flies - William Golding.
When You Don't Feel Like Smiling, Smile Anyway
"Lord of the Flies' is one of those books would-be prize winning authors should read and then re-read. Hope you enjoy it, B-Man.

Let's see... I just finished Bitter End by Jennifer Brown... YA Realistic Fiction... and am now reading Witch World by Christopher Pike. Both extremely good reads, Christopher has quite the unique take on witches and alternate worlds. 
I'd definitely recommend it and I still have 121 pages left! (But I've gotten to page 400 in a day and a half, so...)

Last Window: The Secret of Cape West. Strictly speaking, it isn't a book, but a video game on DS, but it is very word heavy and feels just like reading a book, only you get to do some actions and solve puzzles. It is the sequel to Hotel Dusk: Room 215.
Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

Sounds interesting, Circle, a bit like an old Info game such as Zork, but with visuals.
Being light years behind the technology curve, I've just finished, "Bad Monkey" by Carl Hiaasen. If you like CH, it's a must read. If you've never read any of his stuff and like quirky mysteries with a cynical and somewhat off-beat sense of humor, give it a try.

When a tourist fishes a human arm out of the ocean near Key West, the horrified sheriff instructs black sheep Detective Yancy to pass it off to the Miami morgue. Instead, Yancy hooks up with the attractive Dade County ass't medical examiner and attempts to solve what becomes a very convoluted case. Strong language, some violence, and some descriptions of sex. Bestseller.
A must read for fans of Hiaasen. A good read for anyone who likes a dash of humor with their suspence/mystery.

I'm reading a letter from HMRC about my Tax Credits and totally no understanding a damned thing about it. Aside from that, I'm not reading a whole hell of a lot. The occasional story on here and status updates on Facebook.

Replies from my Kitty... 
and re-reading the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine. Currently working on book two: The Dead Girls' Dance. The whole series is about a tiny town in Texas (called Morganville, of course) where vamps own the town but allow humans to live there with specific rules and regulations for both sides... the Founder is cool and there are a few other vamps later on that I wouldn't mind knowing, but other than that I don't know how the group of teens (Michael Glass, 19, Shane Collins & Eve Rosser, 18, and Claire Danvers, 16) do what they do in the series. (First book is called Glass Houses if you're interested)
