| Taking a break from Ice and Fire, as I'd been anticipating this book since it was announced. Getting a glimpse into how Hannibal became the monster he is today was quite intriguing. |
| Oh thank god I am out of this "chick lit" phase |
| Yet another mindless "chick lit" book about a fashion editor's assistant slaves to get her foot in the door of the journalism world. |
| A little disappointing, compared to Jennifer Weiner's other books. Nonetheless, I was a little amused by the descriptions of the overly perfect suburban mothers. |
| A book about an overweight girl that I can relate to... A little Bridget Jones-y. |
 | Mr. Maybe: A Novel by Jane Green |
 | The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl by Belle De Jour |
 | The Bug by Ellen Ullman - A birthday gift from my brother... just started |
 | Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1) by Neal Stephenson - Though it does connect to Cryptonomicon, it moves much slower. |
 | The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester |
 | The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson |
 | Pattern Recognition by William Gibson |
 | Jennifer Government by Max Barry - This book really has me captivated. I've been on a kick about books with futuristic/alternate reality themes. This books poses that corporations run the world, people take the last name of the company they work for, and these companies are having people killed. Check out the game created to promote the book, and my nation, Qualinesti. |
 | Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow. |
 | Kiln People by David Brin - Good sci-fi. |
 | Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel. - Wow, she so completely verbalizes what goes on inside my head sometimes. At times she's way too whiney. |
 | The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus - fairly amusing. |
 | The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - Sad and just a whirlwind of emotions at the same time. This was an amazing book. |
 | Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson - Very good sci-fi, but gets a little overly deep for the style of writing used. It ended a bit quickly, which was disappointing. |
 | Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur S. Golden - Wonderful use of imagery, I felt as though I were there. |
 | Wifey by Judy Blume - Chick book... I needed a break from being a geek. Quick read about an unsatisfied housewife. |
 | Underworld by Don DeLillo - Crossed out because I didn't finish it, but I plan on coming back to it. |
 | Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson - Famous cyberpunk novel... kicked ass. |
 | Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson - I was so geeked out, I couldn't put it down. |
 | Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire - Cinderella from the other sister's perspective... not as good as Wicked. |
 | Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire - Amazingly good... the story of the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz. |
 | Hannibal by Thomas Harris - Hannibal... enough said. |
 | Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card - The parallel novel to the one that began an excellent futuristic sci-fi series about a boy and his role in Earth's combat against the Buggers. Similar storyline, different character's P.O.V... well done. |
 | Azazel by Isaac Asimov - Great short stories about a pocket-sized devil who grants wishes. |
