I'm working my way through Stephen King's "Under The Dome" and I know I have a book in my hands while reading. This baby has 1,072 pages in it!! I'm almost finished though...on page 915. Good read too.....interesting plot line.
I just just ordered a couple new books from Amazon that should be here in a couple days. One is an intelligent look at the signs of creation and the other is an encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics.
I am reading a book called "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova
The premise is a history scholar uncovers evidence that Vlad the Impaler, a 14th century feudal lord (and historical basis of the Dracula legend) is still alive.
Only about 125 pages into it. So far it is well written and interesting.
Dylan, that's the book I'm currently reading!! I'm about halfway through.
So far I like it, but I'm not crazy about it. I'm reading it because my stepmom loves it and recommended it. I'm finding there's a whole lot of gaps with nothing happening, and I'm far enough into the book where those parts are boring, they don't build suspense anymore. That feeling of, "She's telling me this because something's going to happen related to it soon," is getting frustrating.
That being said, I think I'm finally getting into the good stuff. It's finally to the point where all the characters admit that vampires are real and they're no longer keeping information from each other. Well, not as much information anyway, I think I know a couple things they haven't revealed yet.
Dylan & MZ - that's unbelievable that you're both reading the same book!!
I am reading this book, but it wasn't done with Annie's cooperation, and therefore all of the interviews so far (I'm up to the point where she's in college) are from school friends, teachers, and aquaintences. It also gives waaaay more detail than I need about every little thing. Like her classes, her teachers' methods, etc. It's a thick book, and now I know why.

I saw a Bowie documentary that was the same way. They didn't even have permission to use his songs. It was nice to have the info, but I felt dirty after watching it.
I read a bio on Marilyn Manson and once I finished it I wondered how much was true and how much was put in just for shock value. If the whole thing was true, he's one sick puppy.
I don't think that's what you had in mind... 
It was one of my favorite bedtime rituals.
