^ To be honest, you can't really rip off any other author when it comes to vampire stories. Because every single vampire writer is getting their material from ancient vampire folklore or very early stuff like Dracula.

But yeah, Twilight is just an appalling excuse for vampire fiction.

I haven't read the Southern Vampire Mysteries but I've heard that Trueblood isn't that great. I'm into lots of oldschool vampire stuff but maybe I'll check it out nevertheless.

Dan Brown - Digital Fortress

I'm having a breather from books that are more hard work and speeding through this. Should finish it off tonight. I've read The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons a long time ago so I thought I'd give this a try. Decent page turner as usual.

Just put a ton of Stephen King ebooks onto my phone so I can catch up with the ones I've yet to read.

This was one of the first Virginia Woolf works I ever read and I thought it was pretty trippy. Her stream of consciousness writing is just awesome. Have you read anything else by her? If you like Mrs. Dalloway you should definitely check out To The Lighthouse.
