I am reading Wuthering Heights, The Vicar of Wakefield, and an Ann Coulter book. If you like somewhat morbid stories, then you will like Wuthering Heights. The Vicar of Wakefield is set up like a biography, and is very interesting so far. I doubt anyone here cares for Ann Coulter. :P

Ah, my sister's reading Angela's Ashes, too.
Anyway, the last novel I read was A Prayer For Owen Meany, it's the book the movie Simon Birch is based off of

I can't do that. I have to watch the movie first, otherwise I get angry. For instance: Queen of the Vampires. I hated hated hated it because it did not follow the book at all. This way, if I watch the movie first, I have nothing to base it on.
I've read most of Stephen King's stuff, so most of the movies I hate, although I watched Green Mile before reading it, and I LOVE that movie.
I'm currently reading A Clockwork Orange, and the Road to McCarthy's.

I'm reading "Rotten" by John Lydon. That's Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols. Punk culture just really seems to interest me, I guess that's why I got the book.
