    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson.

    Great book, enjoy. I'd recommend the sequel as well.

    Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

    I love that book. I couldn't put it down the first time I read it.

    I'm rereading Crime and Punishment. Even better second time around.

    Attempting to read Our Mutual Friend by Dickens again. Only made it about a tenth of the way through last time. Dickens is a tough man to read I find.

    I agree. It'll be a long time before I'm arsed even trying again.

    Currently reading "Blaze" by Stephen King / Richard Bachman. Just finished "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. Savage stuff.

    I have just started reading Cross Country by James Patterson ... I am not finding it as a must-read like his other books but that may be because I've spent the last few weeks reading Patricia Cornwell - really compelling reading by Cornwell.

    Anywhoo, if anyone has read Cross Country by Patterson I would appreciate your thoughts on it

    The Fellowship of the Ring, never got around to reading this before now. I'm loving it. Really hard to put down.

    Still have to finish Life On Air by David Attenborough though and get through The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.

    The midterm will be good to me reading wise. :)

    I found it hard to read the first few pages, but I got really into it and tore through the latter 500 pages. It's wonderful!

    Currently reading Tristram Shandy - Laurence Sterne. It's a bit of a mission.
