What are you reading now...or what have you read lately???

[Stucko Queen]

that's the fun part about it! it does help quite a bit if you share a room like i do, then you feel a little better. her books are not really that scary...but to a 13 year old they are. but I get scared at just about anything...

Right now I'm reading "Wehn We Were Orphans" by Kazuo Ishiguro, which is very well written, although I found it a bit hard to get into. The next books I'm gonna read are "The Life Of Pi" and "The ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", I already ordered them from amazon.

Currently I'm reading The Hobbit again, started it ages ago, got to Mirkwood and put it down sometime before Easter but now I'm reading it again.

Actually, I still have The Tangle Box by Terry Brooks half read, I haven't touched that since I got to uni in September last year and I beleive there should still be a bookmark near the beginning of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix from when I attempt to read it the second time....and naturally I probably have at least three different bookmarks in various places in the Fellowship of the Ring...I must know Bilbo's birthday party of by heart by now cos I very rarely get very far before running out of time to read.

I've started to read Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", but it hasn't caught me yet, hopefully it will turn out well. So far there's only this Miss Manette who's always on the verge of fainting...

Phinea I've never read a Tale of two Cities but my experience with Dickens is that if it is abridged he's fantastic. Great story lines!! But if it is unabridged he gets too tyed up with details that are unimportant and it is heard to stick to the story

Good luck, I hope it goes well 8)

I just finished Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy and it was great but word of warning, my copy had several typos and such in it. It wasn't a brand new copy so maybe newer editions were fixed but anyway. . .

The Picture of Dorian Grey....I read it before, but just recently realized the version i read was abridged.....I was irate.

I recommend it by the way.

I'm reading the Eye Of The World by robert Jordan. It's interesting because of the fact the series is called the Wheel of Time. The Wheel spins and spins, and each new Age caomes again after everything about it has already been forgotten.

[Jotomicron]

I'm starting Four Days to Forgiveness, by Ursula K. Le Guin... It's a science fiction book, split in four short stories... I've just finished the first one.

[harrylover]

I´ve just started a book called Geisha by Liza Dalby....can´t say much about it until now...

[Groo]

i am halfway through Day of the jackal right now. i can say that it isnt called a masterpiece without reason.

Won, tell me about Life of Pi after you finish it.
Deedra tell me more about Robert jordan... he is one of my to-be-read authors

[Won Wheezy]

I will, I have only been able to read a bit yet, due to exam stress, but it looks pretty good.

[Dumbledores Master]

Terry Pratchetts The Night Watch
He is incredibly funny if a tiny bit adult in his hunour but only adult if you get what he means for example
Sarge, whats a tuppeny upright
Its a type of jam doughnut, didnt your mum ever make them?
Yes sarge,sarge?
Yes
I think a tuppeny upright means something a bit rude as well

[Won Wheezy]

Terry woohooooooooo! I loved "Night Watch", it's brilliant. And all of the books about the Night Watch, really.

[Phinea Rogue]

I was really trying to read "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens, but I seem to lack patience lately and then "Picture of Dorian Gray" fell from a shell and... I've read it books so many times and it's still amazing! That beautiful language, original ideas, wit!
