Currently reading V by Thomas Pynchon.

Recently read: Lord of the Flies and The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

If This Is A Man / The Truce - By Primo Levi

It's horrendously depressing, good though.

I'm randomly picking up "Bel Canto". I can't recall the author right now. It's a fairly decent book, a friend from another forum I visit recommended it.

I always buy books, and read a few at the same time, and put them all down at the same time, and don't pick them back up for ages.

Edit: Has anyone here read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"? I can't find it at the library, and I'm interested in reading it. I guess there's no harm in buying any book, even if it isn't that great. I'm just wondering before I scrape and shell out the $20.00 for it.

^ Bel Canto... that's the book by Ann Patchett isn't it? I've heard that it's good, but was a bit apprehensive about buying it - synopsis didn't seem that appealing.

I just finished reading 'The Time Traveler's Wife' and it's a really good book. Unique and pretty original.

I just looked and it is by Ann Pratchett. So far I haven't been terribly bored by the book, but I'm not that far into it, either. I guess that can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.

and before that 'the vagina monologues' by eve ensler (very interesting)

'philadelphia, here i come' by brian friel (great play!)

and before that 'grimms' fairy tales'

that's from the last 2 or three weeks...
