i LOVED Kafka on the Shore, it is really an incredible book, and one that I can always go back to. Have you read any other Murakami? There's a film adaptation of Norwegian Wood being released later this month, quite curious to see what it's like!

I've read Norwegian Wood and I loved it!

This!
I am currently reading

You're reading this voluntarily? :eek:

Wow. Kudos to your bravery xD

And based on what was said, I might read another of Atwood's novels instead of The Handmaid's Tale. I'm leaning towards The Blind Assassin personally :biggrin:

I'm still reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. My parents got me the first book for christmas and I'm still reading it! It feels like the book could be nearly finished, but wait...theres another 1400+ pages to go of the story?

It's not that I dislike the book...it just hasn't grabbed and forced me to turn the pages. As far as fantasy books go, nothing has grabbed me like Robin Hobb "The Farseer" trilogy has, and since I only read that book last year, I can't help but compare everything to it. Ever since reading that trilogy, I just can't seem to get into Fantasy literature anymore, everything feels subpar.

Okay well, that was my unintentional rant finished. :tongue:

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.

woah yeah ok, i'm shocked at how late this reply is, i havent been on here in time

and yeah i just don't read books, sure i used to, now i just occaisionally write them

I would recommend:

-The Catcher in The Rye by Salinger which is set around the 1950's
or
- A farewell to Arms by Hemingway, which although set slightly earlier in WW1 is still a good book :biggrin:

Right now I am reading Goodnight Mr Tom, completly forgot how sad it is! :'(
(p.s. also in the time period :biggrin:

yey i'm glad! :biggrin:

be prepared to start dreading going to the shower. xD what lurks behind the shower curtain? dun dun dun...

Oh lord! I'm quite annoyed though - the film doesn't do it justice at.all. :/ I mean, I love Jack Nicholson but the book just tends to be scarier!
Also, the innocence of Danny just makes you want to give him a huge hug!!

Brideshead Revisited

"Great Expectations"

I am almost into the third book. I'm reading it for my English Lit class and I find it to be monotonous and very frustrating.

Now I am reading Haruki Murakami "Afterdark". This book fazes me.It's so attention-grabbing.

Haha it's actually really funny in places, I am reading a translation though so that makes it easier, but it's just annoying that the whole thing is in rhyming couplets :s-smilie:

We had to bring in the book we were reading on WBD and my English teacher's face when she saw was pretty much like this :lolwut:
