What are you reading at the moment?

I'm reading "Phaedra" by Racine. Think I'll move onto "The Butcher Boy" next, so I have it read for next term...

I am reading Everything Is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer.

ZOMG! *explodes* You should join Suzanne's and my Johnathan Safran Foer Obsessed Fangirls Club.

...it's tight.

I am reading Day of Tears by Julius Lester. I give him props for doing something odd, but it's a bit too simplistic and doesn't go into the psychology of racism, which is where I really want it to go. But eh. That's YA for you.

I'm currently reading Zoeken naar Eileen W., by Leon de Winter, for Dutch class.

I don't know if it's translated in English, though. Otherwise the title would be something like 'Searching for Eileen W.'.

Stonedial by Gyorgy Konrad

The Gathering by Anne Enright. It's really, really good, but I've nearly finished it.

Lioness Rampant by Tamora Pierce. Excellent book to end the Song of the Lioness quartet.

well I am readying Twilight- really good ^_^

I am just finishing A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin It is the second book in his amazing fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire
Then on to number three

I have bought a copy of the Tolkien Encyclopedia, and some unfinished Numenor Tales. Should be just fantastic for inspiration! I know I shouldn't be saying this... but Tolkien is so great, you could get so many ideas and people may never know! I wouldn't do that of course.

I am always reading The Book Thief and The Hobbit... And the The Two Towers... I am a bit of a Tolkien nut

Like Aedomir, I am re-reading 'The Book Thief'. After that, I'm going to read 'Scrambled Eggs at Midnight' by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler, 'Lost It' by Kristen Tracy, and 'King Dork' by Frank Portman.

Not sure if I'm going to read them in that order though. The Book Thief is quite the book, isn't it Aedomir? It's depressing...

I'm reading The Book Thief as well. It hasn't gotten very depressing yet (I'm a slow reader--not even a quarter of the way through yet) but because of the time period and setting I can only imagine how it will turn out...

I love the perspective and the conversational writing style. At first I wasn't crazy about the ungrammatically-short sentences, but now I like it; it feels like I'm sitting there with the narrator and he's talking to me (thank goodness I'm not--people who have read it will understand why). I also like the descriptions of color, smell and feel... it's very originally-written and gives a fresh outlook on the theme.

A very good book so far. I recommend it.

The Book Thief is quite the book, isn't it Aedomir? It's depressing... Sad

Yes it is... Nazis and all that. I just got to the bit with the Jew in basement...

I'm at page... 430. This is the second time I've read it. I suppose I shouldn't tell you what happens to the Jew in the basement, no matter how much I want to...

I finished 'The Book Thief'. And I'm reading 'Lost It' by Kristen Tracy. It's like... 300 pages and I'm on page 201, and I just started reading it today, so... (WARNING: Lost It is a complete girl book. No guy should read it. I know that sounds a little... sexist or what ever that word is, but I'm serious.)
