Ewwwwwwwwwww your English teacher needs a good talking to, mine sniggered when that one was mentioned. We're doing Wuthering Heights.

Well I've read The Remains of the Day recently. Good read. 100% rating for Mr Ishiguro thus far.

All the classes in my school are studying the same book. I've read 2 pages and abandoned it.

Finished A Dance With Dragons today. Finally! It was a a bit of a struggle, but I got there. The last 200 pages dragged and dragged and dragged. It was very good though.

Jon Snow

Ser Barristan Selmy

is freaking deadly though. He's probably my favourite character.

Aoibheann

Ah but Jay P,

perfect conditions for Azor Azai to be reborn, no..? I really doubt it's the last we've seen of Jon in any case.

SandraManson

48 Laws Of Power.

I do have an awful tendency of over-thinking things though. I have SO many new crackpot theories ever since reading aDwD, but that one seems reasonably solid!

TheFlamingo

Elle November issue.

No time for books with college work atm but I have Starter for Ten waiting for me!

I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.

I thought it was a brilliant book and I'd gladly ready it again, such a simple read but yet it did impact me.

I might dig that out and read it again once I finish the latest Ross O'Carroll-Kelly book, "NAMA Mia!"

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

I've no time to read solely for pleasure these days with all the course readings Im given.

Only had 10 mins to pick out books so I grabbed three books spontaneously from the recommended read stand... Starting Dracula by Bram Stoker tomorrow.

Robby91

Finally finished reading False Gods, and can now get started on Galaxy in Flames. From the build-up in False Gods(and my assurances, from Horus Rising andother people, that Dan Abnett's a really damn good author), I'm really looking forward to seeing exactly how the climactic events of the Horus Heresy occured \o/

I am, however, not looking forward to spending another 30-40 euro for 3 more of the books in the series (although, I can't help but want to get them :P)

Grindylow

I got Jodi Picoult - The Tenth Circle earlier, 100 pages in so far and it's so good! So sad though, really have to read more of her books.

I'd recommend it to anyone, really eye opening!

Jodi Picoult is a fantastic author, finished one of hers a few weeks back, but have been reading them on and off for a number of years now

I've only gotten through My Sister's Keeper and now this one! What others would you recommend? I wiki'd them, but wiki makes them all seem boring, and you can't read too much or it'll give the plot away so it's hard to tell!

EuropeanSon

Finished American Gods. Excellent book, really good story.

Namlub

The amount of time it has taken me to finish How Many Miles To Babylon is ridiculous, I'm always so tired that I read about three pages, fall asleep and drop it on my face. Gonna start Norwegian Wood as soon as I'm done with it.

Just started reading that one myself

I read A Thousand Splendid Suns yesterday in work [slow day]. For some reason it didn't have the same affect on me as The Kite Runner. Still enjoyed it though.

Jay P

I've finally returned to War & Peace. I don't think it's going to take too long to finish, two weeks max, hopefully. I'm glad that I lost it for the Summer because I got back into reading properly, so I'm more prepared for it. I'm just after reading Dance With Dragons, so for a while George RR Martin's style was in my head, where he follows one character per chapter, and it's only that character's point of view we read. While Tolstoy can flit between characters in the same paragraph.

After reading all Summer, I can appreciate Tolstoy's writing more. After ~240 pages, I already have a pretty in-depth analysis of the characters and their personalities.

I'm also reading C Programming FAQs, which is just about as interesting as it sounds.

EuropeanSon

About to start the first of Stephen Donaldson's Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Wounded Land. Should be good.

Robby91

A bit late, but whatever :P Finished Galaxy in Flames, which was really good, but I'm pissed at the ending - it leads up to (what seems like) a pretty damn significant event in the course of the Horus Heresy, but nothing more... although, I was informed that one of the other books (Fulgrim) described some of the above event, so that'll have to do, for now :P

The worst part of all this is that I was planning on reading the 3 books I bought a week or two ago, but then that damned ending ruined my plans. And now, once I've finished these 4 books, I've another 2 books in the series that I'd like to read, not to mention the stuff that is due for publication in the future...

Once all that is finished with, I can get started on throwing money at the Dark Tower series... >_>

NeuroCat

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (once again!), making my way slowly through Ariel by hersef aswell.

The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and the appendicies of LOTR.

cheesefiend

Just started A Clash of Kings. I'm excited to see where this goes.

I'm in the middle of the series of Ross O' Carroll-Kelly books, was told they'd turn my brain to mush, I must say, I agree! Hilariously funny though

Namlub

Holy crap Norwegian Wood is good
