Finished 'The Tenth Circle' by Jodi Picoult a while ago, really good read! The storyline is fantastic..

On to the House Of Night series now, currently reading 'Marked' and can't wait to work my way through them.

I generally don't like to slut shame, but that main character is a slut! I love how everyone acts like she's totally in the right by being a

slut and it's her boyfriends who have control issues for not wanting to be cheated on

. I believe there was a plot in there somewhere, but good luck finding it underneath all the sluttyness.

Just finished The Prince. Fantastic book, very insightful and concise. Next up is either Lolita or Candide, not sure. Excited about both.

This amused me. And seeing as the final Eragon book is out today, it's quite fitting.

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins

Anybody have any recommendations for a good fantasy book/series for when I finish TGD?

MUST.
GET.
INHERITANCE.

I just finished 'A Tale of Two Cities' (amazing!) and I'm currently racing through 'One Day' in order to finish it fast enough to read Inheritance the second I get it. Which hopefully will be Saturday.

Namlub

I found the end of Norwegian Wood very unstatisfactory

Reiko? Dear God why?

but yeah...

Having a hard time resisting that spoiler.

I saw Inheritance in H&F yesterday. Going to get it this evening, I'm ditching the book I'm reading at the moment. I'm just so excited!

I tried to start reading the prince, but I was not enjoying it at all. Gonna reading breaking dawn instead.

EuropeanSon

Midway through Lolita, it's excellent. Twisted, but excellent, and beautifully written.

Okay, so I'm gonna buy/start A Book Of Thrones tomorrow. Has anyone read The Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan?

Same, I really loved them! I haven't met anybody else who's heard of them, so I was wondering if they're popular or not! Have you read the sequel series?

Started A Game of Thrones earlier today, I'm only on chapter 4 but it looks promising, it's definitely a page-turner!

I just finished re-reading Harry Potter, now I'm gonna start all over again
If the tale of Dumbledore has taught me one thing, its that even the best of us can make the biggest of mistakes.

Got yourself some classics there :P Catcher in the rye any good? I'm reading... since my reading changes day to day...Notes from a big country by BillBryson, which is superb, and The very large history of MI5.

I'm still making my way through War & Peace, relatively quickly. It's just so long that it feels like I'm not making any progress. I love it though. I've really started to appreciate Tolstoy's language, he makes great analogies. And the version that I have has notes on the various historical figures throughout, which makes the book even more amazing because it's so historically accurate. A lot of the inner monologues, especially of Pierre, relate to Tolstoy's own thoughts about life and death.

Anyway to try and stop myself from getting too frustrated at the length of War & Peace, I'm going to read The Great Gatsby in between, because it's pretty short and is supposedly one of the greats.

And I started a book called An Unsung Hero. It's about Tom Crean, one of the Antarctic explorers that went with Shackleton. I skimmed through it years ago, and was amazed by his story, they were real men. Seriously hardcore!

Pretty good so far but I'm only 100 pages in
