1.Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
2. Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins
3. The Giver - Lois Lowry
4. Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
5. The Taming of the Shrew - William Shakespeare
7. The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins (reread for class)
8. Lysistrata - Aristophanes
9. Enrique's Journey - Sonia Nazario
10. Gathering Blue - Lois Lowry
11. The Higher Power of Lucky - Susan Patron

Updated. Both novels were Young Adult and both were extremely quick, accessible reads. Gathering Blue follows up on the Giver with a brand new society and a reimagining of the future. The novel is good but is screaming for a sequel. The Higher Power of Lucky is, in parts, funny, light hearted and endearing. At other times it is surprising mature and, well, sad. Definitely something I would recommend for a quick night's read.

12.) Koko - Peter Straub
13.) Children of the Night - Dan Simmons

Loved both...ordered about 4 books each from Straub and Simmons so there will probably be a lot of those.

UPDATE:

Here's my Goodreads profile.

Currently Reading: Woken Furies - Richard K. Morgan

January
1. The Lost Art - Simon Morden
2. The A-Men - John Trevillian
February
3. The Restraint of Beasts - Magnus Mills
4. Pure - Juliana Baggott
March
5. Annals of the Black Company - Glen Cook
6. Low Town - Daniel Polansky
7. The Angel's Game - Carlos Ruiz Zafón
8. Broken Angels - Richard K. Morgan

I can't get over how great Richard K. Morgan's books are. Kinda dark, but so entertaining. His fantasy and his sci-fi stuff both have really rich world-building, but there's zero bogging down because he writes in pulp style—pared-down and quick. And there's a heavier focus on character than setting.

Just starting this, I just finished the the Lovely Bones and would definitely recommend for everyone who hasn't read it. I enjoyed it a lot.

All wonderful. Heavily recommend Carrion Comfort to fans of King's The Stand. They aren't similar in plot but very similar in quality and scope.

Love his short stories, hate his novels. "Hills like White Elephants," "Clean Well-Lighted Place" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" are among my favorite short stories of all time.
