Trying to read 'Harbour' by John Lindqvist but I just can't get into it, just not as engrossing as 'Let The Right One In' or 'Handling The Undead'.

Have to agree with you on this one. I finally struggled to the end of 'Harbour' but I was a bit underwhelmed with it in comparison to his others.

Has anyone read Zombie Apocalypse?

An old art book called 'Vile Bodies: Photography and the crisis of looking'. I purchased mainly to my interest in post-mortem photography and the works of Joel Peter Witkin but there's so much more too this book. Loving it.

Just finished Brian Lumley's Bloodwars and need a little break from the man, got his next 2 at home as well, but decided to go a bit more hardcore and read Wrath James White's Population Zero. I usually only read during my lunch breaks, but I just can not read his stuff when I'm eating. HAd that with Succulent Prey and the Ressurectionist as well, I literaly feel physicly sick when I read his books while eating. Cold sweat, shakes, light headed, i'm not even kidding. No other writer has this effect on me. I feel filthy after I read his work and I love it

I've just started reading Grant Morrison's Supergods but the new Aberystwyth book has just arrived so everything gets put aside until I've finished that.

The Dead by Charlie Higson, follow up to The Enemy. Young adult novels about kids trying to survive after a virus either kills everyone over 14 or turns them into cannibal psychos. Very grim and violent for young adult fiction, and not full of the humour you might expect from the creator of The Fast Show. I'm about half way through The Dead, and so far it's superior to The Enemy.

Stephen King's Under The Dome. Am about 250 pages in and really enjoying it so far, but it's so heavy to read in bed (have got the hardback from the library)! I can't help thinking of it as 'Under The Tome' (I know, terrible pun).

Still reading A Dance with Dragons.... it's very loooong.

Still reading Higson's The Dead, Jesus it's grim (in a good way)

I've just started China Miéville's Kraken, and am really enjoying it so far.

My friend has leant me New Moon and Eclipse, it's amazing how much I didn't find Twilight that bad of a read. Thogh the character of Bella gets on my tits..

Recently finished A Dance with Dragons by G RR Martin and the amazing Embassytown by China Mieville, also have to recommend The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie - cynical realist epic fantasy - and Feed by Mira Grant - post-zombie world through the eyes of a blogger.

Currently reading:
A Touch of Dead - Charlaine Harris
Nostrodamus Ate My Hamster - Robert Rankin
Dearly Devoted Dexter - Jeff Lindsay

Plus my usual regular dose of comic books and the first Preacher graphic novel in preparation for meeting Garth Ennis at Forbidden Planet in a couple of weeks...presuming it goes ahead after all that London is dealing with right now :?
