I've about 50 pages to finish in the Inferno, but I've already started to read Dubliners by James Joyce. Was supposed to study it in English last year, only read a small fraction of the stories...

Just started to re-read the Master and Margarita and just forgot how brilliant it is!!!

Anyone else read and love this book??

no. i've not really heard of it as a book before, but i do love a song of the same title, so i can only imagine that it's a reference to the book. what's the book about?

Re-reading the John Peel auto/biography (Margrave of the Marshes), when I think of a dead celebrity I'd like to have met, its him, he has a sense of humour, had such an impact on the music that we listen to today...............Gah I wish I met him, I went to see Muse in Wembley Stadium Zane Lowe was doing a DJ set, and he played some sample of him in the middle of some song, was ridiculously cool.

(Reading some of the other possible titles for the book, "How's Your Flow" "Jesus Wasn't made of Fish" and my personal favourite "A History Of The Iodine Trade 1847-1902")

Yeah its a really good read, very unique in the way that it is written, from the perspective of the boy.

I just finished Breaking Dawn (Twilight series) and have just started Twilight. Again. I can't help myself, I just love it.

Next on the list is To Kill A Mockingbird, have never read it.

I love the His Dark Materials, has anyone read the other Philip Pullman series, the Sally Lockhart ones?

Both are awesome.

I. NEED. LITERATURE.

I got 3 books for Christmas and since then haven't read for pleasure at all. I saw a review of a pop-science neurology book in the Times that looked really good but it wasn't in Eason's when I was :mad:

Crumble Froo · 24-01-2009 02:16PM

well, im nearly finished my four books that were supposed to last me a couple of months, in less than a week.

i really need to get a job. and now, i also need to get a library card for sydney.

haha funny.

I'm on Checkmate....the last of the twilight series.

All I can say about it?Load of CRAP! Series is awful. My problem is once I've started reading a series like it, I have to continue....even if its crap, I just want to know what happens in the end.

Waste of my precious time though. (Maybe thats why its taken me so long to read.....)

Piste · 08-02-2009 11:26PM

Isn't the last book called new moon or something? Not checkmate anyway.

That's exactly what happened to me - me then-girlfriend was mad into those books and convinced me to get them. I always have to finish a series too, sucks balls money-wise.
