Lithôniel, have you read anything by the Bronte sisters? You might like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, if you've never read those books before.


Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out! I actually just watched a Jane Eyre movie not to long ago, and was interested in getting the book.

Sherlock Holmes: The Five Orange Pips

I've started Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur. Old English isn't as hard to read as I thought it would be.

Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop by Lee Goldberg, I'm so glad they have a Monk series of books, makes the fact that the show ended easier since they are still putting out the books.

Finally got to read The Hunger Games!!!!
Ok seriously... I heard it was awesome and soooo good and blah blah blah....
It was ok, but definitely not as good as lots of people claimed. I liked it, not one of my faves though. :teehee:

^ Same here. HG is okay, but Harry Potter and LotR are so much better, in my opinion.

I re-read Civil Disobedience by Thoreau... it always gets me inspired!

My reading list is just in sad shape right now. :lol:

Still working on A Dance With Dragons. I'm mad at pretty much every single character though. Ugh. All of you. No. Stop.
I was reading Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer over the weekend since ADWD is too heavy to carry around.
The other day I picked up Anno Dracula: The Bloody Red Baron (WWI! So excited!) and I couldn't resist starting it.
The result of that was the burning desire for a re-read of Sherriff's Journey's End. Stanhope and Raleigh are my OTP. Also I am the entire fandom.

This is why I don't finish things anymore. :lol:

^ Oh my, I know what you mean; I start one book, only to get distracted by another. :fish:

I just got a knitting book about folk bags from around the world, so I'm flipping through that at the moment to decide what to make next.
