So I'm getting back into this whole reading thing now. Just finished reading Naked Lunch, such a fucking good book.

I have a list of books that I want to read/re-read.
Re-read List:
- Anna Karenina
- The Lord of the Rings
- Manhunt (very good book about John Wilkes Booth's attempted escape from Ford's Theatre to the Confederacy)
Read List:
- Some Star Wars fiction that doesn't suck balls
- Various history books for next year's classes (a head start would be nice)
I am drawing a blank right now, but I always have a bunch of books that I've been meaning to get around to reading but never have actually read. It all comes back to me at libraries and book shops.

I'm taking Catch-22 and the Gormenghast series with me on holiday. Just finished reading Brave New World and Fight Club.

I'm bored with my books. 
I generally enjoy reading books from the horror genre. Any suggestions would be great. In the meantime, I will continue to keep myself busy with Lovecraft and Poe stuffs.
