I recommend the author F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I'm sure he's been mentioned already. I love The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, and I just recently bought This Side Of Paradise. the man is simply amazing.

Has anyone read "Feeling Sorry For Celia" by Jaclyn Moriarty? I'm reading it now. Pretty good. Kinda. Maybe. Well, if you give it a shot it's okey! I would also recommend "Hush, hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick. Good book!
(Wow, I need to read more adult books. This is no good!)
(And by adult books I don't mean perverted books or something in that way... Or do I?)

Kate Atkinson, Isabelle Allende, Jasper Fforde, David Mitchell (not the comedian TV guy ) and Ian McEwen are all amazing. I'm looking forward to actually reading books again, I've read nothing but textbooks for so long

I DO NOT recommend Lorrenzaccio by Alfred Musset. It's said to be French Hamlet, but it isn't and it's boring and requires a lot of concentration.

Anyone read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials? I would highly recommend them. Oh and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. So. good. ali I'm trying to get into Wuthering Heights myself right now. Finding it a little dull in the beginning, but I'm sure it will pick up.

All the books mentioned in the last 3 posts are amazing. His Dark Materials are absolutely stunning. If you like them, Pullman also did a series that I can't remember the name of but the books are The Ruby In The Smoke, The Tiger In The Well and The "Something" in the "something" they're set in a much more 'real' world (no daemons, unfortunately) but are still great

I need to read them again sometime. The film just didn't even begin to do it justice. I haven't read an awful lot yet, things keep getting in the way. But I'm liking it ok so far.

Agreed. It was ok I guess, but the story is just so intricate that the movie just got all jumbled. I didn't like the actor for Pan's voice either. I had just imagined it different in my head...
The Amber Spyglass has the most heartbreaking scene I think I've ever read. For those of you that have read it, I think you know what I'm talking about! I bawled like a baby!!!

I bawled like a baby!!! *nods vigorously* I couldn't watch The Golden Compass. I've never been tempted to see it. For starters, Nicole Kidman?? Mrs. Coulter has brown hair! I just knew it would destroy my childhood haha. Not even my love of Daniel Craig could make me go see it (and that's saying a lot )
