I'm reading this book called Allies of the Night, it's suppose to be scary with vampires but it's just a book that suprises you in every chapter

I just finished "The Knight of the Sacred Lake" by Rosalind Miles. It is the second in a trilogy about Queen Guenevere. The books are a interesting, easy reads. Afterward, I am going to start "The Aeneid" by Virgil, which I'm sure will be much more challenging.

Running with Scissors -very contraversal yet still, i couldnt put it down. Its one of those books that had i known what it was about before sticking my nose in it, i never would have read it. Strange and well-written.
However, if you are very conservative, i would not recommend reading it.
If you are looking for good vampire books, try the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles, or The Silver Kiss. Actually, i highly recommend these even if you dont specifically want vampire-themed books. You wont regret it.

The last book I read was The Stranger by Albert Camus. It's a fictional story based on Camus's belief in absurdism. To sum it up, absurdism states that "humans exist in a meaningless, irrational universe and that any search for order by them will bring them into direct conflict with the universe". Camus's novel tells of an emotionally detached young man named Meursault. He does not cry at his mother’s funeral, doesn't believe in God, and kills a man he barely knows without any logical motive. Meursault is sentenced to death because he is deemed as a "threat to society". However, I feel that Meursault was a admirable character for refusing to abide by society's norms, being honest and blunt and for reaching a period of enlightenment by the end of the story, where he understood and accepted the "cruel indifference of the world". I'm sure others would have a different opinion. In all it's a excellent book which makes you rethink the purpose we have in this universe (that is if we have one at all).

The last book I read, for school it was "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I thoroughly enjoyed it...it focused on a neutral character but gave a unique view at the events of the plot through the eyes of a youth.

I am currently reading "Autobiography of a Face" by the late Lucy Grealy. The book I read before this one was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon, which was excellent. I highly recommend it.
