That's a fantastic book!

I'm reading 'Timolean Vieta Come Home' by Dan Rhodes. I'm actually really enjoying it, the sense of humour is quite dark and it's really easy to read. After having to do exams I can't handle reading anything complex at the moment!

It's the best I've read on the subject - it's very easy to relate to, she's a fantastic writer. I've heard that she's written some fiction as well. While "the best little girl in the world", "stick figure girl" etc are good I just don't think they're as personal as wasted which is why I think the book's so good. v. vivd.

Yes, she's also written "The Center of Winter" which I'd like to read at some point. I've never read "the best little girl in the world" but I've heard it isn't very good and Levenkron, as Hornbacher noted in "Wasted" did not paint an accurate picture and used the book to promote himself as a doctor etc. I once read "the Passion of Alice", but all the religious stuff started to bore me after a while. Of all the other books I've read on this, "Wasted" is by far the best; not just the content but the way she writes it, I can't explain it. There are some others that look very interesting but I haven't had the chance to read them - one is a diary that the father put together after the girl died...

Out - Natsuo Kirino (perverse feminism, as one of the reviews describes it)
Interview with a Vampire - Anne Rice (never read one of her books before.. but I thought I'd give it a go)

I bought Out - Natsuo Kirino about a month ago, but not had a chance to read it yet(i have a long reading list :rolleyes:

) is it good?

I'm currently reading:

I, Lucifer - Glen Duncan (Lucifer is given a chance to get back into heaven, this is like his autobiography)

The Witching Hour - Anne Rice (A story based a round a familty of witches from New Orleans)

Middlemarch by George Eliot. It's on my reading list for my degree so it's mixing work and pleasure, but because it's 800 pages long I'm pagewatching and thinking it'll never be over!!
