The Encyclopedia Of Serial Killers(Second Edition) by Michael Newton
True crime is way better than any thing you can watch on tv!
Now reading: City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Claire
It's the fourth book in a series I am reading. -
I'm actually reading City of Ashes hehehe. I liked the first book, so i'm going ahead and reading the next.

Radcliffe by David Storey (1963)
Like "Brokeback mountain" except it is longer and quite well written.
According to one review:
It is a Gothic novel in which a metaphyical dimension to the spiritual horror develops out of the
novel's uncanny correspondence with "The Idiot". Radcliffe easily brings to mind
Dostoyevsky; it has the the elements – the drama of a split psyche; larger-than-life
characters; sadism, masochism, rape; incest, murder, and madness; a focus on isolated
suffering through dreams and hallucinations......
Very dark and with a very tragic ending. -
I always read several books at once, all depending on what mood I am ;D
I just have finished Ephraim Kishon - The Family right or wrong
Still reading Kishon - The Fox in the chicken coop (A satirical novel)
Feldmar Andras - A rainbow of consciousness
Anthony de Mello - One minute of wisdom, The song of the bird etc. :laugh: -
I'm reading Lirael by Garth Nix. it's the second book in the Old Kingdom Trilogy. It centers around a rather unusual fantasy setting, where necromancy and sorcery are powerful.
It is somewhat similar to the regular coming-of-age books and is the reason why these books are normally found in the young adult section. I like the way it weaves a complex story while at the same time maintaining readability. Some books that get a bit complex normally stress me out, but this series doesn't. It also has a way of exposition that will slowly orient the reader to the culture in the world of the Old Kingdom.

I just finished Infected: Life After Death (Infected, #3) by Andrea Speed
! In a world where a werecat virus has changed society, Roan McKichan, a born infected and ex-cop, works as a private detective trying to solve crimes involving other infecteds.
! But when your heart is gone, it’s easy to fall into a black hole and never crawl out. Roan has been lost and alone for more than a year, and his best friends think a new case might be just the motivation he needs. Roan forces himself back into the game and discovers a dead man who might not be all that dead, a street hustler that wants to hustle him, and a dominatrix who is well prepared to take Roan’s orders. As Roan claws his way out of the darkness by diving back into his work, he finds himself in a race against time in the adrenaline-pumping realization that nothing helps a person want to live like helping someone else survive.Read both books before. I did like them better. But still they are all very well written and a must read. Characters and world building is amazing. Warning, no sex in any books, but it is about a gay private investigator and his lover-assistant
! who dies and third book is the recovery and finding a rebound guy, that's one of the reasons I didn't like it as much as the first ones
Author creates deep characters with flaws which is not as common as it should be in books. And shifter world is completely different, more sci-fi, medical (it's a virus which kills and there is no fun being infected with it as in other shifter books).

Pierre Boulle — La planète des singes.
-
The Power of Six - Pittacus Lore.
This is the sequel to the novel "I Am Number Four". The book, as always, has a much richer storyline than shown in the movies. I liked the movie, but the book was way better.
It also has a way of grabbing your attention, so I'm a bit careful not to read during the week because i might end up sleeping in the wee hours of the morning.

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell who also write Cloud Atlas.
A very interesting novel -
Last book I've read is The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Leguin from her Earthsea cycle. Really nice fantasy books I must say. (And the style is refreshing after reading all current books of a Song of Ice and Fire)

Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell -
**_There is this old book I bought in a booksale in one of the Asian countries I've been, 2 years ago and it's only last week that I started to read it and finished it yesterday….. It's called "The Kennedys Amidst The Gathering Storm (A Thousand Days in London, 1938-1940) by Will Swift.....
It's interesting to know that one of former President JFK's closest friend is a gay man named Lem Billings
There is a line here of JFK writing to Lem and it goes like this
Page 141-142
......"They want to give Dad the title of duke which will be hereditary and go to all his family which will make me Duke John of Bronxville and perhaps if you suck around sufficiently, I might knight you."_** -
