I started the Bartimaeus Trilogy, but I have had a recent drop in interest for fantasy. It used to be all I read...[/quote]

Woo HOooo.

YOU will love that.

I finished Seize the Day by Saul Bellow. It wasn't very long, but it was extremely thick themewise and took me a long time to get through. Very uneventful, but it was a fascinating book. I recommend it.

Now I'm reading The Princess Bride! I finished the first part, but there's a section called Buttercup's Baby at the end that I have not read yet. :P

Lolita by Vladmir Something...I'm too lazy to look right now. Nokabov? Anyway, it's good so far.

I'm so excited! I finally found a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo that's unabridged! One of my friends raves about this book, and I figured I'd have to at least give it a go. I'm hopping i like it as much as Les Mis (she told me to read the unabridged of that, too), but this is the same girl that actually liked Jane Eyre, but Oh! I'm excited. And have started it. And have decided that it'll make perfect reading maerial after the AP Calc test on Wed, and even (maybe?) after the AP Lit exa Thursday, though DeLint might be a better choice for that one.

Yes.

Book hog out for now!

Gulag (Glavnoe Upravlenie Leherei): A History by Anne Applebaum. Miserable, bleak and horrifying, but it does paint a picture. o.o

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins which is great at the minute, although I don't agree with all his logic, and Odin's Island by Janne Teller, something I doubt I would usually pick up, but it was lent to me by someone I like, and it's actually pretty good so far.

Mesh, savor the book. Monte Cristo is AWESOME!

Still doing War and Peace. I haven't had a chance to pick it up since two weeks ago because of all the schoolwork!

Gaudy Night -- Dorothy Sayers and The World to Come -- Dara Horn.


Former's all fun; the latter's heavy with a light touch in prose, somehow. But it takes a discerning look into the USSR, the Jews under the regime and immigrants - (though summary's are stilted things for depth).

The Gypsy Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

It's a really nice book! But I say that about every book I read..sheesh.

Generation Loss - Elizabeth Hand
In the Forest of Forgetting - Theodora Goss.

The latter is a really beautiful and strange collection of short stories that are somewhere between poem, myth, fantasy, and magical realism.
