I'm making my second attempt at reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Faring a bit better this time, but still tough going, it's hard to get into a good rhythm with it because of the multiple changes in style and those damn footnotes!

Just finished re-reading "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows" tonight and now the next book in my to-read list is Simon Pegg's "Nerd Do Well".

Halfway through The Outsider by Albert Camus, t'is strange yet brilliant.

I have an awful habit of starting a book then after a few chapters putting it down for a few weeks and forgetting about it!

That's me as well...do it with games too. Usually I go back and finish the books but the games tend to be superseded by what ever new one comes out...soo many unfinished games

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas.

It's taking me a long time to read though because I bought a new phone and have been playing with it a lot.

Reading this too. Well, I started a couple of months ago then just got side tracked with a couple of other books. It starts really well, and it is a good story, but I spend a lot of time wishing he'd just get to the bloody point. I think a lot of russian books are like that, must pick it up again in any case

Knicked John Lonergan's 'The Governor' from the parent's house today, still haven't started it.

Big John Lonergan fan.

Just finished reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X, and now I'm half way through 'Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong'.

Read the hardcopy a few months ago, found it tough going, lots of rambling tedious stuff thrown in, he keeps saying he wont bother the reader with lots of mundane details and then proceeds to bother the reader with other mundane details. That said, for a book written so long ago, it must have been a great way to spend an evening reading it.

Really? I think Gulliver's Travels is a great book. Kept me gripped and I flew through it.

I'm reading Heidi. Having just finished Anne of Green Gables. Having a bit of a children's book phase

Novella

I'm reading 'Circles Around the Sun'. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in schizophrenia. It's kind of an insight into the illness, not exactly light reading but pretty good.

"Use your head; a guided tour of the human mind"

I've been getting very into pop-psychology lately.

For the third time, I am reading a book by my all time favourite man in human history, General Charles de Gaulle's Salvation: The series of his memoirs from 1944-46, which is also my favourite period in history.

Yes ladies, I am available!

One of the most enjoyable books I read last year! Looking forward to the film.

Oh I saw a preview for that movie... chick flick, or no?

emeraldstar

Mmm, not so much. More a drama, I'd say. With a mainly female cast, perhaps.

Me too I wonder when it's out here? It's our in the states already anyway - doing well although it's being described as a comedy-drama - there's not an awful lot of comedy in the book!

Comedy, really? I hope they haven't strayed too far from the book in that case. I think it's had a generally good reception even from those who are fans of the book so hopefully it'll be alright.

The Monster Book of Monsters, I can't close it!

Emma Stone has come quite far since her days of SuperBad.. looks good

Just saw the trailer for "The Help" and it seems very cheerful. If they have stayed close to the book then they really are leading people astray with the trailer.

I mean, that part in the novel with Miss Celia Foote and Minny in the bathroom??? Not a cheerful scene at all!

Finished reading "Sway", getting back to "Influence" (half way through).

Check 'em out if you're into that sort of thing, interesting stuff and well written.

The great war for civilisation, the conquest of the middle east by Robert Fisk. Fascinating so far. His impartiality is refreshing.
