I've decided to change my reading list a little bit. I read nearly 100 pages in
The Beast of Noor, and I couldn't get into it. I'm going to substitute it with
Midnighters: The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfield instead.
So here's my updated list:
*
Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
*
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
*
MacBeth by William Shakespeare
*
Scary! 2 edited by Peter Haining
*
The Sight by David Clement Davies
*
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
*
Vampire Plagues Book One: London, 1850 by Sebastian Rook
*
The Best of Poe: The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, The Cask of Amontillado, and 30 Others*
The Bartimaeus Trilogy Book Two: The Golem's Eye by Jonathan Stroud
*
The Bartimaeus Trilogy Book Three: Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud
*
The Beasties by William Sleator
*
Midnighters: The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld
*
The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
*
The Cronus Chronicles Book One: The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursa
*
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
*
The House with a Clock in Its Walls by John Bellairs

Wow! I think I would have quit before 100 pages. That's a long way to go to decide it doesn't appeal. I must admit that I usually make up my mind in the first 10 pages or so whether something is going to suit my tastes.
If I remember right, Midnighters is set in a real town that is a suburb of Tulsa where I used to live. I'll be interested in your review.

I think I had already decided within the first 50 pages, but I decided to give it another chance.
