What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk II

Nearly finished The Hobbit. I hadn't read it since I was about 11.

Next up is The Count of Monte Cristo!

There's a new US show called "Revenge" that has recently started (think it's on Episode 4, maybe) which is apparently based off The Count of Monte Cristo! I didn't have any idea that was even vaguely what The Count of Monte Cristo was about until then xD

Hater by David Moody.

Just been reading this for a day, but I've nearly read half of it. It's quite a short story and easy to understand. Simple story but definitely waiting for the twist.
It's basically about how people are suddenly (and randomly) killing off people for no apparent (yet) reason.

Just finished 'The Patience Stone'. I really enjoyed it at the beginning... the end just seemed like a cop out though! And I felt like her confessions were a bit too extreme! Oh well... always a lot easier to talk about a book you have criticism about... so that should make the seminar easier!

Off to start 'Man's Fate' now! Or watch something... it IS 11pm xD

Good choice!

I got 1Q84 in the post today. I should probably save it until after my exam next week, but I really want to start it now.

I think I'll probably agree with you once I've read them all. I really liked the first one so bought the rest but definitely still prefer the first one at the moment. :smile:

Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King, only a few pages into it but I'm liking it so far.

The Elegant Universe - Brian Greene , pretty interesting so far. As an aside, my brother recently came home from uni and decided to borrow half my books >.> but it does give me an excuse to shop for more books on amazon, which is possible the funnest thing ever :biggrin:
