    Trashy crime novels :D I can't even remember who they're by, but people die and the main characters try and find out who did it and sometimes it was the butler!

    Some novel or other by Val McDermid. Not sure of the title, but at the moment all I want are murder mysteries with enough plot twists to make me forget I've got just over a week to do 8,000 word of essay, and it's doing a marvellous job.

    Rereading Nineteen Minutes because I'm in a Jodi Picoult sorta mood. Her next book (which, as I understand it, is out in the States already, but not coming out here till April) is about gay rights and sounds fantastic :D

    Both are fantastic, but I'd go with Mrs Dalloway because it makes The Hours even more awesome! Though I love that Woolf wrote genderbending before genderbending was cool.

    I am loving the Virgina Woolf love here <3 But I'm a plebian who has no time for your high-brow 'classics' and am reading through a bunch of miscellaneous travel books, most of which I've read before (I've read every non-guidebook travel book in Canterbury library), and my housemate's Calvin...

    But Northern Lights still fits the The Adjectivvy Noun pattern D: I'm working my way very slowly through The Devil in Amber by Mark Gatiss. It's pretty good fun (imagine James Bond, only very gay), and I had a great chat with the woman at the Oxfam Bookshop in which I bought it about how...

    A friend of mine and I were bored last week and went around town, going into all the charity shops, finding Mills & Boon books (trashy romances, you know the ones) and trying to find the dirtiest/cheesiest sex scenes we could. ...we were politely asked to leave a couple of the shops after...

    Whoo! Double whoo! I'm partway through World War Z by Max Brooks and am enjoying it muchly. I reread The Zombie Survival Guide the other week (fun fact: reading it at Victoria Coach Station gets you some odd looks) and decided to get his other book. Also, the endorsement by Simon Pegg on the...

    Seconded. FRY ARE YOU LISTENING? I really adore Fry's books. I hate that man for being so good at bloody everything )< Oh my god, I know. o.o (re the relevence) (also, I'm still gutted they cut the discussion about Milgram's study of obedience and all the references to the Magic Faraway Tree...

    At the moment, I'm reading Stephen King's Misery during the day, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven (by Mitch Albom) in the evenings. The reasoning being, of course, if I read SK before bed, I'll get terrible nightmares D:

    I lovelovelove Malorie Blackman <3 I'm finally reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, which I've been wanting to read for absolutely ages. I borrowed it off my friend and it's absolutely brilliant thus far.

    Pssh; gay content's not a warning, it's an advertisment! I'm researching for three essays at the moment, so if I made a list of "stuff I'm reading", it'd be really long, boring and have lots of "globalisation" in.

    I'm on part 3 of the V for Vendetta graphic novel and I absolutely love it. The film adaptation is one of my all-time favourite movies, so I was expecting it to be good but it's just fantastic. And I wish they hadn't taken out all the cool references to things in the movie; I was absolutely...

    I'm a moron and don't understand that chart in the slightest. Explain the scoring thing to me, please? And, opal, loads of those books fall into more than one category; Running with Scissors and The Color Purple are both autobiographical, but are classed as Dystopian and "African American"...

    Recently I've been dipping into Branded by Alissa Quart, which is a non-fiction book about brands, labels and marketing, especially that aimed at teenagers. It's very eye-opening.

    Dead Beat by Val McDermid. Watching Murder in Suburbia has put me in such a murder mystery mood :D

    XDD I love it. The Othello rap is amazing, but I think Romeo and Juliet ("a nose by any other name could still... smell") and Hamlet (because you really can't get better than a guy dressed as a woman drowning backwards) are the best. Have you seen any of their other shows? I can't recommend...

    :DDDDDD Now, I know that version off by heart. I've seen it performed about fifteen times (and been pulled on stage to be Ophelia!), and I've seen the DVD about a bazillion. Thanks to it, I know the Piece of Work speech by heart and guh, it's so, so good. "It is I, Omlet, the Cheese Danish!"...

    ^ XDDDD Yeeeeeeah. My sister and I have a running joke about Fiyero and Elphaba's "kinky scarf sex" (she ties a scarf around her waist and then they have regular sex). It's a pretty awesome book, though. All that lesbian subtext is just a bonus X3 I'm halfway though Hugh Laurie's The Gun...
