I'm in British Literature, Short Story, and Creative Nonfiction, so all I'm doing is reading -_-

I'm reading The Spirit Thief, which is fantastically witty, and How To Build A Girl, which is... well... not for the prudish >.<

I'm definitely a 'one at a time' kind of reader!

I get so lost into a book, I don't think my mind could handle a whole new world running alongside it.

I've just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn which was fantastic! I would have written a different ending myself, but I guess it's one of those that you're just supposed to ponder.

Balancing three novels.

Looking for Alaska because I want to :P
A Cry from the deep by Diana Stevan, a blog requested review, which means deadline D:
Dying for Living by Kory S ... another review request which I left till too late, so speed reading to meet that deadline!

Also reading another two, but that's slow reading for class :P

I am about to finish Candide by Voltaire. Which is ridiculous. In a good way.

Also still chugging through One Hundred Years of Solitude (in Spanish of course) which I kind of think I've been reading since January *Winces in shame* It's not an easy read...

Now trying to decide which book to move on to once I finish Candide....

Just finished Star Wars: A New Dawn. It is the prequel to the new TV series coming out. I would reccomend it to fans.

I'm reading Halo on Top of Sword at the moment. It's a historical novel about St. Joan of Arc, and I'm using it for research. I usually keep the number of books I'm reading to about one to two, usually one. Helps me keep my focus if I keep it down to one though. xD ;)

Only reading about, oh I dunno, like… 10 books? My bedside table has roughly a metre-high stack of novels balancing on the edge. They're all the books I've started, then got bored and began another one. I plan to finish them all.

But the one I'm generally reading the most is 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. Good book.

I am not reading any novels, but I am reading several non-fiction histories and I'm halfway through 2 Chronicles, biblically speaking.

I've been reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. Since I'm busy with school I haven't had time to read much, but I'm slowly (very slowly) closing in on the end. I'm also rereading Eragon by Christopher Paolini, since I got the fourth book and forgot most of what happened in the first three, but it just seems so bad compared to when I first read it. I'm considering getting the English version instead of the Swedish, since maybe it's the translation that bugs me.. I have no idea >.>
Oh, and then I have a ton of unfinished books from a course in 'literature and the history of ideas' and another in 'literature and culture' that I should really get back to reading.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
