Currently Reading...

So we have a favourite book topic but I wanted to share what I'm reading at the moment - as it might not be your favourite.

So let's share!

Will help get some new ideas too.

I'm currently attempting to read Les Miserables! All 1230+ pages of it! Go me

I am currently re-reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Phillipa Gregory. I mean to go and see the film, but I want to read the book again before I do

I want to read the new Julie Andrews Biography next!

OMG I JUST FINISHED THAT!
I could not put it down! 5 days of my holiday - gone in that book. I thought it was so good. I liked how it was kinda true and I know what happens in general but how it was a good story too.
I really liked it.

I gave it to my mum and she came to me the next day and was like "oh my gosh Kirsty, I cannot put that book down!"

I just finished the Diary of Anne Frank. Meh...

Just finished Grief Girl. Nice book to read when you life is shit. Then you don't feel so bad.

Reading 'If Chins Could Kill - Confessions of a B Movie Actor ' by Bruce Campbell. It's loltastic.

I'm about halfway through it now.

Kiki, have you seen the film yet?

The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck. It was a prescribed text for My Arthurian History and Myth class but it's throughly enjoyable

nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult.

Finished "Feuchtgebiete" by Charlotte Roche a few days ago and it was better then I thougt it would be.
Now I read Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami again. Just love that Haruki Murakami.

faro's daughter by georgette heyer

Kendra, I love thst book, you have to get Make love the bruce Campbell way after your done!!
I just re-finished Catcher in the Rye, and now I'm reading On the Road.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk

I really like Chuck Palahniuk but not good for the closed minded.
:]

Just started the Stone Steps by Virginia Dyer Vogt. Its okay.

No I havent! I watched about 15mins of it online but it was really bad quality. None of my female friends would go and Gordon certainly wouldnt...grr! I'll rent it!

Do you watch Ugly Betty? I think it's so funny that her necklace is like...identical!

Yes, I do watch Ugly Betty! Is the second series going to finish, 'cos I'm sure I haven't seen anything new going on and wasn't there a writers strike? I have no idea what's going on in telelvision... I actually didn't notice the necklace thing, but it's so true!

Yeah there was a writers strike. We're about to start getting the last six episodes for this year. but I don't know when you will get them over there

well theyve been repeating the last episodes on e4 and although i watch it only, the new series (before thre strike) start only about 2 weeks after the one in america so it shouldnt be too long for you jess.

I'm currently reading Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore (comic), Aftershock by Quintin Jardine (crime novel) and Fables:1001 Nights of Snowfall (another comic).

I'm reading Sofies Verden by Jostein Gaarder, a norwegian writer.
It's something like the "history of the philosophy", related to Sofies, by a strange professor.. in order to make it more funny or less boring.

I like it and i saw the movie before... i totally recommend it

I just read In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. It was an interesting insight into the life of the people from the Dominican Republic, who for about thirty years, lived under the treacherous dictator Trujillo. The story was focused on the Mirabal sisters- their lives, how they got involved in the revolution, etc. I would recommend it for anyone particularly interested in politics, but I personally didn't like it. It was wayyyy dragged out. And hard to get into.

just finished slaughterhouse 5. love it. amazing. completely not what i expected but it was so good. i really like vonneguts style of writing.

started Murakami's wind-up bird chronicles last week but i borrowed twilight from a friend to see what all the fuss is about and have gotten caught up in it.

im stuck between enjoying the sense of writing as it seems to be...well like her thoughts and its nice but also its just that her writing isn't fabulous.

We started reading Catcher in the Rye for English, if that counts.

And Kendra, I thought my family was the only one in the world who knew that book existed! Haha we have a copy somewhere but I have yet to read it.

And the movie of The Other Boleyn Girl was really good. I didn't read the book but my parents were watching the movie one time so I kind of just watched the entire thing haha. Natalie Portman = so hot. Just saying.
