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.

^ 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. 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.

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

Well, The Hobbit.  But I recently read "Double Identity" by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
