I finished reading "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest", and I'm planning on re-read "The Eyes of the Dragon", my favourite Stephen King's novel

Finally got back to reading Frankenstein after avoiding it after I started it the other day.
Today I read up to Volume Two. I think it's very well-written and the story is interesting... but it really is one of the most saddening books I've yet read.

This novel is by a Hungarian writer/novelist called Jókai Mór! The original title is"És mégis mozog a Föld" which is translated to "And yet it moves".

It's a very good book but it's extremely boring at the start (the first 100-150 pages; To be honest all of his novels are boring at the start, but after 100 or so pages starts to be interesting! )
and yes, like all the novels he wrote, this is a long one too!

Finished Frankenstein a while ago. It was pretty disappointing imo.
For years I've heard nothing but praise for the book. I suppose it is pretty impressive for an 1818 text, but I found it rather dull. The concept is great, I like the idea behind the book... but the constant whining about how pants life is from nearly every character made me yawn and even laugh throughout.
I'd give it a 2/5.

Right now I'm reading the ebook files for the Harry Potter series on my Galazy S. The trouble is they don't all work in my Aldiko program, and the ones that are left use a different ebook reader. They all show up on the bookshelf in said program as 'Harry Potter and the..' and nothing more, so it's kind of a lottery as to which one I end up reading

Thinking of starting 'Salems Lot by Stephen King. Dunno whether to or not, though.
It interferes with PSP time and PSP time interferes with reading time.
All very confusing for me. Might just give up the PSP.

I read "Phantoms" by Dean Kootnz a couple weeks back. Fantastic book, I recommend it to anyone who likes horror stories.

Also, I read "Breathless" by Dean Koontz last week. Pretty good, but not as good as "Phantoms". I am currently reading "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini. It's pretty good so far.

I haven't been reading anything since my last post here, so I decided reading some Science books, even if I already read it.
