A Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio by Jeffrey Kluger. It is awesome. You should read it.

I'm on Wuthering Heights! Feeling very intellectual reading that in the departures lounge of Gatwick airport. Other than that, I have three feminist novels for my english dissertation. And also A Streetcar Named Desire. And a critical theory textbook I have to use.

All this juggling books is making me stressed

Hmm... i just finished The Extraordinary Adventures Of Alfred Kru(u?)p and Kimchi And Calamari. Sorta reading The Sword Of Shanara, whenever i can from my reading/language arts teacher's library, trying to read The Kingdom Keepers, and since i'm a total mega-nerd, Webster's Dictionary (barely through the A's.) Oh, and The Holy Bible. See, told you i was a nerd! :D

I'm reading Sense and Sensibility by Austen for my Jane Austen class (I'm nearly finished and then I'll be reading Emma)

For my creative writing class I'm reading Junot Diaz's The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (he's visiting my school next wednesday and my class gets to have an advanced workshop with him!!!!!) We also read bunches of short stories from The New Granta Book of the American Short Story which I like a lot.

For my pleasure, I'm going to Borders today to buy The Virgin Suicides (I saw Sam's recommendation and decided I should check it out). Hopefully there will be other books that catch my fancy :-)

Well, I've just started reading Wolf Island by Darren Shan by by the time I post on YWS again I'll have finished it.
The corpses are piled high around. Blood carpets the floor and flames scorch away the last remnants of humanity. The screams of the damned echo in my head. I smile. I am home.

- Reading, but have almost finished, Great Expectations
- Have begun The Scarlet Letter - Am enjoying, despite the negatives reviews I've heard.
- Today I started snooping the first few pages of The Shipping News which looks pretty intriguing.

The only one I haven't read - liked the film, though. Persuasion is my ultimate favourite.

It's the 21st century equivalent of 1984. Best book I've read in a long time.

I'm reading The Listmaker. It's kind-of a younger book, and I've already read it once before, but it's not too bad, and I didn't want to be reading something to difficult as I go back to school again.

Plus it's been sitting on my shelf for ages, screaming out to be read and I hadn't gotten around to it until now.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*

Contemplating Adultery: The Secret Life of a Victorian Woman by Lotte and Joseph Hamburger. It's a NF biography of Sarah Austin and her affair with a German Prince. It's...interesting, to say the least XD

Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
