What book is on your bedside table?

State of fear - Micheal Crichton (only just started so don't spoil it!)

The lyrics to The Affectionate Punch, a reissue of the 1980 album from The Associates.

Thanks for starting this thread.

At the moment I'm reading The Other Boleyn Girl. It's about Henry the 8th and his courtship of both Boleyn girls. I'm almost finished and I'm assuming it will end with Anne losing her lovely head. Not great literture, but a fun read. God those Royals were nasty.

and i just got my copy signed yesterday!

(not, of course, by paul lynde, since he is somewhat dead at the moment.)

Don't read that shit, Thespian? grr

Final Scream by Lisa Jackson

Because my mom read it and couldn't figure out who the killer was and she's like me she always knows who it's gonna be so she wanted me to read it to see if I could figure it out.

So far I'm on chapter 2 and I know the killer must ba a girl and I think I'll figure out who it is soon, well I hope I do because this book is really crap and I wanna read the new Irving book.

Octavia E. Butler's "Mind of My Mind"

I just finished The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis... I am going to start on some short stories by Graham Greene next only because The Power & the Glory was checked out of the library.

What was it like? Was it scary and did you enjoy it? Tell me more, I'm curious about this book.

Im reading Hi Fidelity, Nick Hornby, again!

I last read it 3 years ago and having seen the film a couple of times since then Id forgotten just how good the book is!

My top 5 books of all time would be.....nah!

Lolita - thought it was about time

Except the Phoenix sun melted the binding and scattered the pages into the pool, it now looks like a big print version of the original Bible

i dont know what i can say about it without giving away too much of the plot but its more than scary.

at the moment im about 2/3 of the way through its great so far though .

Raine said:

ok, thanks. I have never read anything else from him, but the cover really caught my eye and the write-up sounds very scary. I will check it out.
