Re: What are you currently Reading?

I'm reading ten books at the moment. Mostly non fiction so its easier to keep track of. I figure if I start them, I'll be more likely to finish them, instead of wasting time on other stuff.

Re: What are you currently Reading?

I've just finished Orwell so now I am reading something nice and light to stop this creeping depression...

I'm reading On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta.

YA gold, imo.

Re: What are you currently Reading?

Short stories by Katherine Mansfield.

So good, imo.

I can't really take Woolf, too much stream-of-consciousness, but Mansfield is a nice substitute.

lol, i'm only reading it for uni but it's pretty damn funny. Read it if you like the classics and are familiar with greek/roman mythology, you'll get a good laugh.
