I just finished re-reading Louise O'Neill's Asking For It and Alice Oseman's Radio Silence, and I'll be starting and finishing Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige and The Black Key by Amy Ewing this week.

Am currently on Volume V of Marcel Proust's 6-part series, In Search of Lost Time.

I've never read a series like it. The writing is exquisite and the entire series gives you a deep insight into human emotions, obsessions and relationships (and much, much more).

I am beginning to find it a bit of a chore now though. I'm so close to finishing the series but I don't want to rush through the books, otherwise I'll miss Proust's beautiful metaphors and perspectives on humanity.

I'm reading Crosstalk by Connie Willis. I'm almost 40% through it and it's enjoyable but some things are nothing short of irritable!

Madame Bovary in French. I thought I'd give it a whirl, given I've read the translation about three times!

The North Water by Ian McGuire - it's incredibly on the nose and visceral, which paints a very atmospheric scene.

Nearly finished Oblivion (final book in the Power of Five series). After that I will have finished all of Anthony Horowitz's books, yay. :tongue:

Next up I have The Great Zoo Of China (Matthew Reilly) and Filth (Irvine Welsh).

David Copperfield... the start seems to be tragic... to be born when your father dies...
And having an aunt who wants to have a niece...Woah!

I'm reading 'Demelza' by Winston Graham, which is the second Poldark novel. It is a nice bit of light reading, but it is an interesting book because it conveys Cornish life in the 18th century. I'm also reading 'The Casual Vacancy' by J.K Rowling-I think it is an important book because it explores many of the issues we face in modern society, but I am finding it a little depressing!

That's quite brave-I'm considering reading a Francoise Sagan novel in French. I don't know much French, but I think it is a good idea to get to know the language. I've read Madame Bovary, I enjoyed it. I haven't yet read any of Flaubert's other work, have you? If so, did you enjoy it?

Yes, very much. It is quite ambitious but of course it helps enormously to have read the translation first! I think this might be cheating somewhat, but it worked for me!
