Just finishing Brave New World Revisited, then on to another dystopia, We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

I loved Brave New World, but havn't read Brave New World Revisited. Is it any good?

As well as The Amber Spyglass (which I've nearly finished) and The Princess Bride (which I'm halfway through) I'm reading a book I randomly bought today called Blitzcat by Robert Westall. Not an author I've come across before, but it looks pretty good.

Just finished North and South (Gaskell) ...I absolutely loved it, and the sap that I am, ended up tearing over the last chapter. I read it pretty much every spare moment I had until it was finished. Now to find a book to match up to it, I thought about Crime and Punishment, but not sure if that would be wise seeing as I'm going back to college on Monday.

I bought the third one today - The Gypsy Morph. Excellent read. I love how he's combined his two series :biggrin:

It revisits the ideas, not the world; so although it is very interesting (and much still relevant) it's hardly page turning. It's nice and short though - I read it in two days - so it is worth reading.

I too love The History Boys, by the way :p:

I'm reading a book on the M Theory on quantum physics.... It's really interesting and also spans out onto parallel dimensions

I'm reading David Copperfield/A Passage To India/Tristam Shandy.
The only one I'm SERIOUSLY reading is David Copperfield... I just keep starting books until I find an interesting one, so I abandon far too many on the sole basis of their rubbish first chapter...

Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks. My god am I glad I'm almost at the end!

Maybe that one wasn't the best one of his to go for when it's the very first book of his I've read.

I thought that one was OK. Didn't inspire me to read more of them particularly, although I've heard that some of his others are better.
