I'm STILL reading Stiffed: The Betrayal Of Modern Man by Susan Faludi.

I can't stay away from sociology/gender studies!

God, good luck with that :rolleyes:

Luckily it's really short, but I found it incredibly dull to say it's a 'classic' :erm:

I'm reading Wuthering Heights/ Purgatorio- Dante/ The Name of the Rose- Eco/ Crime and Punishment/ The Interpretaton of Murder- Jed something/ Anna Karenina/Past Mortem- Ben Elton

I think I should stick to one at a time, but I tend to mill around a few. Can't help it :s-smilie:

Whereas I studied it at AS level 2 years ago and still consider it the best book I've ever read. Each to his own, eh? :p:

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom
I dont like it :no:

If I wanted to read about how to live life I would pick up self help book not a novel.

The Return of History and the End of Dreams - Robert Kagan.

Had been meaning to get this since it first came out (just over a month ago) but given the **** thats gone down in Georgia recently - which Kagan predicted - i tracked it down yesterday. Very well written, interesting and frighteningly accurate in the manner of its predictions regarding Russia and (what was at the time of writing) the prediction of South Ossetia/Abkazhia leading to war.

An article which contains the general jist of the book can be fread here.

Just finished Sons and Lovers by DH Lawrence and now re-reading Self by Yann Martel, which I read ages ago but would like to read again because I seem to glean so much more from it each time I read it.

After that.. I probably will read Northanger Abbey.
