  Yes, Reading books online!! Exciting, isn't it? Yet, i'm not talking about published books, i'm talking about those books written by people, then posted at say blogsites, watttpad, and other sites like these. Obviously, we have our own amazing writer's merge and prodders... but wouldn't you like to tell ppl about the books (or poems or short stories or etc.) you've found?
  
  (if this thread is out of place, or shouldn't even be here, then delete it or move it, and i'm sorry if that's the case ;D )
  
  Well, i Havn't had alot of time lately to read stuff, and most of the stuff i loved was on a site called Inkpop which has unfortunatley been.. unmade. :( However, on Wattpad i found an amazing story! It's supposed to be a Trilogy (called The Serpent Scar) and has finished the first book. Also, she is working on blogging another story.

  I'm starting to read Over the Phone soon. Can't wait to see what you guys think of it... or what you guys find to post, also!

  What a great thread! I don't read online, but I read over the phone when I'm on the bus to uni. My phone is an Android, so I downloaded the Aldiko application, which allows me to browse books published by well known authors, and self published authors. At the moment, I'm reading 'Dracula Refanged' by Brandy Stoker, a self published author, who rewrote 'Dracula' from a woman's perspective, so the characters have changed genders. At first it was a little confusing, but now I've been reading it for a while I can't stop! It's great!
  
  I have also read 'Dream Psychology' by Sigmund Freud, Platos republic, 'Lost boy: bipolar dreaming' by Jocelyn Price - a heart-wrenching mothers account of her son's bipolar disorder, and 'White Fang' by Jack London. I had already read 'White Fang' beforehand, but loved it so had to download it =D

  Huh, Dracula changed gender? That i gotta see! er, read. (dumb joke, isn't it? sorry, it's all i got... too tired!) I'd love to look into that one, tho, and some of the others sound good, too!
  
  So, have you had a chance to check out The Serpent Scar? The writer is kind of an online friend of mine... ya, my suggestion was kind of biased... cept that her writing rly is good!
  
  Thanks for the suggestions, Kaylan!

  I haven't seen them but I am always up for new things to read on the bus. And if you liked the original Dracula, you'll like this version.
  
  I'll check out 'The Serpent Scar' =D Do you know how authors actually get published through eBooks?

  I used to read a lot of stuff on inkpop because I edited for a lot of people but that has been merged with Figment now and I haven't really been on there since the quality isn't the same anymore. There used to be some really great stuff on Inkpop (though for some reason Harper only published the horrible works in the place. Anyone read Carrier of the Mark?). I loved 'Superhero'. Can't remember who it was by but it was a sort of tongue in cheek style of book that was a lot of fun.

  I was on Inkpop, I never actually got around to reading anything but I did get my hands on a copy of Carrier of the Mark out of curiosity, thinking that the standard would be high. I WAS SO WRONG, OH MY GOSH, WHO CHOOSES TO PUBLISH A BOOK THAT FREAKIN' BAD?!

  Ugh, I know. It was all kinds of horrible. I wanted to smack the main character so bad, and having read a lot of the stuff on that site, such a disappointing book for them to have chosen. There were some absolute brilliant stories on that site and then went and chose the one that was cliche, bland, and over dramatic!
  
  Oh, and I found that SuperHero one I mentioned before, it's by the user YuffieProductions on Wattpad now. :)

  Haha, i forgot about the thread i started... how bad. Anyways, i was reading a Greek myth story on Inkpop that was amazing... i kept up with her releases, but she didn't release the last chapter or 2 before inkpop was merged, and i can't find her again... so sad.
  
  Anyways, i finally found my library's ebooks, so been having fun with those. I read Inside Out, and Outside In by Maria V. Snyder. I'm also 5 chapter's into the Water Wars book by Cameron... don't remember, lol. Anyone else read the Water Wars book? I'm having some trouble with the authors style of writing, what about u?
