In Cold Blood - Truman Capote.

I'm about a third of the way through and think it's brilliant.

I'm starting to work my way through now. Is Post Birthday World any good?

And I agree, particularly Eva. Some of things she says is pretty shocking!

I thought The Post Birthday World was excellent, but not as good as Kevin.

When I read Kevin, my face was like :eek:

pretty much the whole way through. I didn't like Franklin either, just by the way he was so accepting of Kevin's behaviour and never punished him.

I'm reading an anthology of short stories called The Book Lovers' Appreciation Society. Some of the stories are good, some not so, but I'm extremely busy at the moment with various uni things, so being able to have little stories to read when I have fifteen minutes spare is really cool :smile:

Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan - Book 11 of the Wheel of Time series. And I must say, I love this series - I have read it non-stop from the beginning. (Y)

Twenties Girl - Sophie Kinsella

Got it for my Chirstmas so giving it a bash. Quite weird as the girl can see her dead great-aunt and speak to her. Taking awhile to finish it :s-smilie:

Ulysses by James Joyce. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I find it totally incomprehensible, but I've only read 280 pages so far, so we'll see...

Just finished Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. Would definitely recommend it - great historical novel! Can't decide what to go for next though...

Halfway through about a million books at the moment, including:

Bridget Jones's Diary - Helen Fielding
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
Lolita - Vladmir Nabokov
Heart Of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
Portrait Of A Lady - Henry James

I really need to finish some of these...

On The Road by Jack Kerouac and The Road by Cormac McCarthy (A coincidence). I now wish to travel America... preferably not in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Just finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult. I'm torn now whether this or Nineteen Minutes is my favourite of her books so far.

Dunno what to read now, though....
