Oh some of his theories are sound. Problem is, I can't write about his theories. I had to find biographies about his life and not his work, which was actually a bit hard. I had to scour Amazon Marketplace for them. But yeah I'm meant to compare and contrast two biographies about his life. and... some other stuff too that I forget about. Probably another 3000 words thing.

The Fifth Head of Cerberus

"A Story" By John V Marsch

These are the first two books of a trilogy with the last one I'm reading now called V.R.T. Its an old sci-fi story that a mate (redpill) got me for christmas, it is actually quite good though between all three books the writing/storytelling style changes completly so that was a bit weird. The are all by Gene Wolf btw if you were wondering (Yes eventhough the second one says its byt someone else, that person is actually a character from the books)

As I said took a bit to get used to them but once I did it was good, the way he describes everything though in the first book gave me the impression of a really old port town somewhere. It made it slightly harder to imagine it (Well I found) because it was sci-fi and on a different planet which they had moved to, I did get over that eventually and when I had gotten the writing style fully understood...that book ended and it all changed!

I will say however that they are good and unfortunatly I will have finished them too soon.

Right just finished Deception Point by Dan Brown.

A very good book indeed! Read it too fast though, now its over! >.< I'd say its better than the ones with Robert Langdon personnally.

Definatly worth the read if you haven't already and you liked other Dan Brown books!

At the moment I'm having to reread Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters. I've also got those four Freud books to slog through. As for what I actually want to read next, I think that'll be Join Me by Danny Wallace

I've started Stephen Kings The Dark Tower series again now that I actually have a working lamp in my room.

You mean, what am I not reading?? Lolol.

Nah, I've just got a couple (make that 3) things on the go.

Stephanie Meyer - Eclipse (I swear to god her bloody vampire books are too damn addictive, even though they're not that good)

The Watchmen graphic novel - yeah, I'm a geek and wanted to read it before watching the film

Christopher Paolini - Brisingr - started this ages ago and have hardly got anywhere with it. The book's to damn big to take anywhere. I wish I'd just waited for the paperback to come out D:
'Why do I smile at people I'd much rather kick in the eye?' - The Smiths. Moz is a lyrical genius :D
'There's pink flamingos living in the mall' - Conor Oberst, who is also a lyrical genius, hee~ :D

Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Some of you may have heard of/seen the film Relic which is of course based on this book. The book was very good and eventhough I'd seen the film the story was different enough so it wasn't boring, infact I found it hard to remember how the film went.

Next up is A Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George the first of the Inspector Lynley books, after seeing series 1-3 (I think) I thought I'd give the books a try!

I've got too much to read, but the last book I started to read was The Men Who Stare At Goats by Jon Ronson, which is all about the American military and how they were secretly training people to use telekinesis, walk through walls, and stare goats to death :)

I'm currently re-reading the Harry Potter books, though I finished Prisoner of Azkaban a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to buy Goblet of Fire yet. I want to get all the adult editions and read them. XP I know I have the children's editions to read if I want, but I actually want to make use of the adult copies.

One thing I've noticed is how much shorter they seem, though the first three are a lot shorter than the last four of the series. Still, it's coming along.
