What book are you reading now?

Taste of Sorrow - Jude Morgan.

It's historical fiction about the Brontes. Don't know a lot about them so not sure how accurate it is, am enjoying it though.

American Psycho.
Seen the film a few times over the years so thought I may as well read the book. I enjoy it but the sex scenes are a bit graphic.

I also bought One Day so have to read that soon.

I'm reading Poppy's War by Lily Baxter at the moment.
Only a couple of chapters in so the story hasn't really got going yet, but it seems quite good so far. :smile:

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.
The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry.
The Second Book of General Ignorance (QI) by John Lloyd and John Mitchinson.

Dipping in and out of the QI book. About halfway through Stephen Fry but haven't read any for a few days. Reading Sense and Sensibility on my iPod - first ebook I've ever read. Finding it a little weird to be honest (the ebook, not the actual novel).

EDIT: forgot, Hamlet as well. Doing it for English and really enjoying it. I've read the first act and I can see why people love it so much.

Am I the only person who hasn't really enjoyed reading Emma by Jane Austen?

I've started reading Swimming Pool Sunday by Madeleine Wickham alongside it.

Sorta... I flip through Keats/Milton when I'm in the car or waiting while my mom runs errands, etc. Huxley I read passionately until Mr. Propter began his multi-chapter monologue thing, and now it's waiting patiently by my pillow. Tale of Two Cities has mostlikely been filched by my little brother, Midsummer Night's Dream is required in class, and I read Great Expectations whenever I've got free time cos it's bloody awesome.
Soo, yeah: sorta.

I'm almost done with Brideshead Revisited. I think I might try another Waugh. Have you read Vile Bodies as well?

SORRY haven't been on TSR for a few days! I've read Brideshead too - it's a great book! Vile Bodies is a good read, it's pretty classic Waugh but I'd recommend you to read A Handful of Dust - the first 120 pages or so are pure literary genius (although it does lose it a bit towards the end in an attempt by Waugh to be controversial).

Thanks! I think I'll finish the last chapter of Brideshead tonight. (Brideshead or practice Maths paper? I think it's decided.) I was talking about the book in History and launched the whole class into a religous debate. :biggrin:
