I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray By: Oscar Wilde. I'm in love with this book already. The dialogue is so rich and full.
Also reading A Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for writers. Its awesome thus far.

I just finished 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.
Man it was an awesome book. I've only read an abridged version when I was younger, so I picked up a copy of the full deal. Awesome, awesome book, full of depth (literally and figurtively, har har) and imagination. I highly suggest it while high.
Next I'm gonna read Sphere by Micheal Crichton. After that, Alien. I'm on a science fiction kick for sure.

For Whom the Bell Tolls-Hemingway Engaging so far...and very fluid writing
Rick Steve's 2004 Guide to Europe-Rick Steve Not so fluid, very informative.

I love Micheal Crichton. Jurassic park and the lost world were both amazing books. Congo was also a very good read. His books are really believable.

Crichton really is a great writer. Jurrasic Park and Lost World were great reads. Sphere is really good too...very believable, haha.

Finished Concrete Island a while ago - interesting read, bit dry though. All British and metaphorical and what not...
H.P. Lovecraft's a delight.
