Recently started readin The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon...I liked it at first, but then started getting bored. Gonna pick it up again and see where I go from there.

The Mayan Prophecies. unlocking the secrets of a lost civilization. Badass book if you like your mind to be fucked with on the what ifs of eternity and if will make it past the year 2012, also some cool info on death.

@ BigD
Saw you were going to read a book involving the theme snuff, and wondered if you can recommend me some gloomy / weird (lack of better word) books? I wanna start reading again. Broaden my horizont.

Just finnished American Psycho for the second time.

Ive written a book, its called "DeftonesATF27 does the sharing lungs/deftonesworld forum" it journalizes this guy name Clinton Ross Gilhams brain into several fucked up thoughts, phrases, jokes, themes, wishes, wants, do's, dont's, hers, her, her. Its got alot of variety, its somewhat large, like 183 page i believe, its enjoyable. check it out.

I finnished the first part the same day, but couldn't read on as i'm also stuying for a history exam. yuck. But, i'm really loving it, man. There are some cool views on religion and life in general. Great book so far. Can't wait to read the last part though, i'm really interested in hearing the grumpy in-love-with-God dad's view.

Thanks for the recommendation !

Well ... Hmm ... Gonna see if i can read it after "Hey Nostradamus", "American Psycho" is pretty much my all time favourite book, so i'm pretty curious to read that one.

American Psycho is also great.. in a sick kind of way

I wrote my "store 3.g's opgave" on it (american psycho).

I was supposed to do that aswell, mix Danish with Psychology, but some mix ups prevented me from doing so. Shite ... Made one on Johannes V. Jensen's writings instead.
