FMAObsessed - yes I've read both of those, I love Kafka especially.
Currently reading In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami. Really is the most disturbed book I have ever read, bar maybe Tokyo by Mo Hayder (though that wasn't too bad after watching Dumplings).

I'm currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels, or Southern Vampire Mystery Novels, or whatever they go by ^^" by Charlaine Harris. I just finished Dead Until Dawn and am thinking of starting the second tonight (I've taken over my dad's iPad to read them haha...one day until I go back until my apartment, so hopefully I can get through one or two more before then. They're pretty quick reads). But anyway, they're what inspired the TV show True Blood. So far it's like Twilight with better writing and less obnoxious characters xD (not to mention raunchier, but if you watch the show you already expected that lol).

Fashionable Nonsense by Alan Sokal. It was recommended to me after I witnessed a communications professor spewing some ill-informed nonsense about science. The book goes into issues with Postmodernism.
Another friend recently recommended that I read The Name of a Rose, which I'll do sometime soon, when I'm not so busy.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.

The second part of the book was better than the first, but I guess the setup was required. It's actually almost as good as The Hunger Games, in my opinion.

Can you keep a secret? by Sophie Kinsella, so far it was good. It's a love story and I'm not very profound with this genre so I can't really give a nicer feedback

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, and The Eleventh Victim by Nancy Grace. I must say, I was iffy about Ender's Game, but since I began reading it, I'm hooked and can't wait to read the rest of the series. The Eleventh Victim is good, as well, for it being written by a first time fiction writer.
