Just started Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. |
Bridget Jones. Just never fails to make me laugh and a good read for when I am not in the mood to read more challenging materials.

I bought myself the Girl, Missing series by Sophie McKenzie. |
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
I don't know if I can go on, this is pretty horrendous. It's more meretricious than Shindler's List. It's good to see a protagonist with 'light' autism/asperger's though, there aren't too many of those. I also just read Flowers for Algernon, which was pretty feelsy. I think it works better as a short story, but the ending/last third still destroyed me. |
Just finished The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. It was a fun little detective novel. I might read some more of his stuff at some point.
Today I got a Doctor Who novel called Ten Little Aliens by Stephen Cole. Apparently it's a take on Agatha Christie's (*ahem*) Ten Little N***ers. I'm looking forward to reading it. |

Last night I finished Doctor Who: Ten Little Aliens by Stephen Cole. It took me a while to get into it, but it built up to a very good and very exciting climax. It was much darker and bloodier than the average Doctor Who story, which was a bit unexpected, but it was okay. And one chapter was done in the style of a Choose Your Own Adventure book. I was a bit skeptical, but in the context it worked beautifully. Anyway, at some point tonight I'm going to start reading The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick.

I've just started a few, some course texts:
Orlando by Virginia Woolf (very good. Surprising! Less pretentious than To the Lighthouse) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick (forced to read, don't really like sci-fi and still, after a few chapters, not convinced) A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth (the same as when reading Russian fiction, lots of unfamiliar names and words to adjust to at first, and a VERY BIG BOOK which I aim to hide in for AS LONG AS I CAN.) |

It is set right before an inevitable asteroid collision and does one of the best societal breakdowns I have ever read. Get in now before the last book comes out, it's exciting to be part of a thing that is happening in the moment. |

just started Clare Balding's autobiography- My Animals and Other Family.
|
I finished The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick the other day. It was good, but I'm not sure I understood the last third or so. It was weird.
Anyway, since then I've been reading Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. |
rereading House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielwski now that the semester is over.

I'm reading 'why we broke up' by Daniel Handler. Interesting book, about halfway through, unsure how its going to end if I'm honest.
