Now I'm reading "The Joke," by Milan Kundera and "Franny and Zooey," by J.D. Salinger. I try to read one work of contemporary fiction and one work of classic literature at the same time, but I usually have a toe dipped in at least five or six books at once despite my primary focus being on only two.

Hmm, I can't really decide between "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and Agatha Christie's "They Came to Baghdad". Suggestions? :D

*hasn't read either*

Why choose? At any rate, Hitchhiker's is AWESOME! Seriously, it's, like, the best book ever.

I'm just so eager to read them both that I don't know which one to begin with But I guess it'll be The Hitchhiker :D

I'm reading Small Gods too! That's just WEIRD.

I've only started with it, but it seems pretty good so far. I couldn't get into Thud!, though, which was a little disappointing.

*is still struggling through The Host*

I'm almost halfway through.

I had to stop reading New Moon for a while Im too busy + loads of parties and discos + homework + clubs + school = no free time. Hopefully it will calm down soon.

Lol feefifofum XD
I really liked Thud!, but my favourite Discworld has to be Men At Arms.

my geography assignment. To see if it's good enough.
...
It isn't.

Well I just bought "Lolita" and "Perfume: Story of a Murderer" today, and I think I'll start Lolita tonight.

Right now I'm reading the Time Travelers Wife and afterwards I want to read My Sisters Keeper (:

Perfume is such a chilling book. It's not my usual cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it- Grenouille may well be one of the creepiest fictional villains to date.

uhh does anyone agree the book (My Sister's Keeper) seems better than the movie? I'm not done reading it yet but I hear the ending of the book was changed, Anna was suppose to die. I don't think its fair to the readers to change the ending which pretty much shapes the book right?

I read the book before the movie came out, and I couldn't really appreciate it. It didn't explore the ethics of the situation in a compelling way, it was badly written, and the plot twist at the end seemed illogical and gratuitous.

Er, not to be negative, or anything.

My dad did "Perfume" with his class, he really liked it. Said the kids (I call his students that, even though they're the same age as me ) found it interesting. From what he told me of the plot it sounds fairly creepy.

It is creepy- it's about a French serial killer who selects his victims (beautiful women) based on scent in order to bottle their essence and create the perfect perfume. It's a great book, though, and a compelling look into the motivations and insecurities of a murderer.

I've seen the movie of Perfume which is absolutely amazing, and then by chance I came across the book yesterday and immediately snatched it up. Unfortunately instead of beginning to read it yesterday I got distracted by "Lady Chatterley's Lover," by D.H Lawrence.

I finished reading it almost 1 month ago and I watched the movie after that.. I was like NO!!! THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED !!! lol

It's a good book tho... for casual reading . but I fall asleep on the movie *wonders why she always do that !!! *

Im readin New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, eating my nail varnish on the way.

Just started reading The Giver by Lois Lowry :O !!! Its very interesting !!

"Julian," by Gore Vidal, and "When You Are Engulfed in Flames," by David Sedaris. I love David Sedaris so much... a friend of mine got to meet him after seeing him lecture at Carnegie Hall, and I'm green with envy .

The Outsiders
&
Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix

Re-reading New Moon again. And working my way through the second volume of The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith... still. Oh, and Eldest by Christopher Paolini, too.

Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett.
