I think you needs must add the disclaimer that you have actually read several of these at least once. :-) I'm not criticizing--I'm a big fan of re-reading. I do it all the time.
ReplyDeleteIf you've never read it, I'd strongly recommend "The House With a Clock in Its Walls" as a spooky Halloween read. I need to read the Graveyard Book by Gaiman, though--his stuff is fantastic. If you haven't read "Good Omens," you should.
That said, you've got lots of good reading ahead of you!
And, Twilight isn't that bad. I read it. I've read worse.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mrs. N.
Four out of 20-odd books isn't something to get worked up over, methinks. Twilight is tolerable if and only if you really like the word glour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the request. It shall be added within the next five minutes.
If you like Gaiman, you really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY need to read Sandman, the comic he wrote for DC. It's published in several collections, the first of which is called Preludes and Nocturnes. It's availible at our local library that I'm not going to name in order to not have crazy internet stalkers. ;)
In all fairness, I've not read Sandman yet, purely because it contains some, erm, very morbid stuff. But I HAVE looked at quotes from it, and good quotes they are!

Being forced to read Twilight is a great motivation strategy. If you finish it, will we get a review?
ReplyDeleteYour list reminds me: I need to read "The Looking Glass Wars." I started to, but then I found some other books and it just kinda sat there. :(
Maybe. Juuust maybe.
