1st book of the year: Haunted, by Chuck Palahnuik
This book was pretty good. It has several gory moments, and can be described as a compilation of short stories written by the characters in the book. It is in some moments horror, whereas some points are laughable.
2. Pet Sematary by Stephen King
One of King's better horror books that I've read, lacking the pages and pages of droning on that sometimes bore me. Toward the end I did find myself skimming paragraphs to get to the climax I knew from the movies was coming. The end left me hanging. I was also afraid I might have nightmares.
3. I Have Lived in the Monster by Robert Ressler
Non-fiction book written by a criminal profiler, with several case studies and a few transcripts from notorious serial killers. Very interesting read, and the first of its kind for me.

4. Room, by Emma Donoghue
I read this entire book back to back in 8 hours yesterday at work. It was that good. Unique in narrative perspective, it's seen through the eyes of a 5 year old boy, Jack. There's really no good way to explain the book without giving too much away. But we are introduced to Jack and his ma, who live in 11x11 foot Room, which is Jack's whole world, literally. He sleeps in Wardrobe, and as the book goes on you slowly learn, from Jack and conversations he overhears, why he's there. Just an awesome read.
