I'm about to start reading The Wildflowers by VC Andrews, It's a series of 4 books all in one, hoping it's good *fingers crossed*
I also want to read On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta but it's all booked out at the library and I don't really have $25 to spend on a book atm

Read the Hobb! :D

I just finished Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice and I'm about to start Royal Assassin
Oh, I love the Hobb, i'm just not in the mood for taking on any long intimidating series right now. Plus I found that Palace by Katherine Kerr is dedicated to Tad Williams, who i must say is even better than the Hobb, so I went with that instead :p

As I am currently having a Kafka craze, I just finished The Metamorphosis yesterday.

Its very cool; Gregor wakes up as a man-sized bug, it follows his struggle with his 'condition' in his family's home. I think its a good little piece about isolation and discrimination, and it made me feel a bit guilty for squashing all those bugs over the years.

I do recommend it :)

I tried the same thing a couple of years ago, instead of the Bible the holy book I choose was the Koran. Didn't get through it either.

Right now I am reading Shame by Salman Rushdie
