Hurrah for good things! Now can i borrow it, Dom? hehe. No, it's ok - i should do my own reading before snagging someone else's book to place on top of my own TBR pile.

I finished "I am the Messenger" it wasen't a favorite. I thought it felt a little long. I would let people read it on their own, because the story was good. I'm just not sure how I felt about it.

I finished the sisterhood book, I really loved it and it was finally a book I could finish within 3 days instead of 3 weeks.. I really hope there will be a 5th one, but I doubt it...

I finished Dracula by Bram Stoker. I thought it was really good, much better than I expected. I was worried that it would be like Frankenstein (I really hated that book). As far as vampire books go, I still think Anne Rice is the best, but this was really good too.

Today I finished a book called Kosto ("Revenge") by Eppu Nuotio. She's a Finnish author and I never usually read (I've tried many times!) crime fiction or thrillers but her two books I've loved for some reason.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was good but it was so abstract at times that it demanded a lot of concentration - not something I had a lot of these past few days...

Just finished Oscar and the Lady in Pink by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, I LOVED that book! Please read it sometime in your life! When you do, don't read it alone because you'll want to read parts of it aloud... It's really touching and sweet story, and it leaves you with a feeling of safety and fills you with appreciation of life!

I just finished reading "Lucky" by Alice Sebold - it was very moving, and very well written. I can't wait 'til her next book comes out (it's due out later this year).
