The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle Haruki Murakami

The Confessions St. Augustine

To The Lighthouse Virginia Woolf






Murakami may be vaguely insane. Or perhaps tis merely an uncanny knack for splitting into first person surreality, bland and on edge sans any sense of urgency. o0 Yet it's worth the read for bending a mind--look a different way.

I'm going overboard with classics (partially because I want to study A-level Literature, and often there are a lot of books to read..)

I've started 'Far From the Madding Crowd' (Y'know, Thomas Hardy) Good, so far.
Then I got 'The Mill on the Floss' , when I saw it, and it's really intriguing.
I plan to start reading 'Little Dorrit' afterward..
He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm and the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the Universe. And ...he's wonderful.

I'm reading Tailchaser's Song, which is pretty cool. It's about a young cat who goes looking for his lost mate.

Just finished Half Broken Things by Morag Joss. What a beautiful, thought-provoking read. Now I'm re-reading Jane Eyre, but also reading Stephen Fry's autobiography, Moab is my Washpot and attempting Silas Marner (surprisingly hard to get into - I loved The Mill... and Middlemarch.

^^ both amazing reads.

I would spread the cloths under your feet.
But I being poor, have only my dreams,
So tread softly, for you tread on my life.

Now i'm reading nineteen minutes my jodi picoult.
Its really compelling, a great read.
Absolutely loved the host though it was sooooo good and really got me thinking about life on other planets and the unknown etc i would defiantly recommend it to anyone its like sci fi for those whom don't like sci-fi.
I think Stephanie Meyer should bring out another host book im really intrigues about what might happen next anyone read it?
Its also inspired me to plan out a story related to aliens....anythoughts ?
xxx :P :roll: :lol: :) :D :shock:
Why ruin a present happiness by a distant misery that may never even come at all?

Just finished re-reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Loved it even more the second time around (probably because I sort-of knew what was coming :P). But anyway, highly recommend it.

I am also reading The Coffee Book and Uncommon Grounds: A History of Coffee and How it Transformed Our World for my paper on coffee. If you're interested in history/coffee, I'd definitely take a look at these.
