I loved Chaucer's Canterbury Tales when I was at school. We did it for Higher English, I think.

I just read Fast Train Approaching by Steve Walter
It's all about mental illness, and what it was like for him during his breakdowns - Very interesting read |
Very nearly finished Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, just a couple of pages left to go. I still can't believe I've only just got round to reading it, it's been sitting on my shelf for years. Shameful. After that I'm gonna start the Grapes of Wrath methinks.

More uni children's literature stuff. |
I just finished reading The Secret Diary of Dimented Housewife, by Niamh Greene. It's okay -not that great but not bad either. I was engrossed enough to keep reading but found the main character rather monotomous - she kept overreacting to every situation, and kept using the line 'I think I shall write to ----- to commend/complain about such and such' and it got a little old quickly. But it was an average read - good if you use it as a time waster etc.

Stacy and the Mystery of Stoneybrook (The Babysitters Club) - Ann Martin.
A journey back to my childhood! |

Recently finished one of my favourite novels, IT by Stephen King, fantastic story. Now reading At the Mountains of Madness by HP Lovecraft.
|

I think At the Mountains of Madness is on my 'to read' list, is it any good so far? |
I agree with you for sure on it seeming slow at first, but once it picks up, it's really fantastic. I think a lot of the historical padding out of Derry is what makes the content difficult to get through, but once you finish, it makes a lot of sense and you appreciate the time it took for everything to be set in motion and such if that makes any sense.
The Lovecraft novel is interesting so far, though i'm only a couple of chapters in :D |
Matilda - Roald Dahl. My favourite book from childhood.
|
I've just finished reading, To Die For by Carol Lee.
I'm just about to start reading, Smashed by Koren Zalickas. |
I'm reading Evermore by Alyson Noel.
Pretty good so far. |
I'm reading Christiane F. For the 10th time or something. But I love that book.
|
i seen IT as a tv series was brilliant !!
|
IT is a fantastic book. Takes a while to get going, but it's well worth it.
Just read: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Currently reading: Michael Collins by Tim Pat Coogan. Next: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. |
Finished Evermore last night....TRYING Wuthering Heights now :)
|
I started Tom's Midnight Garden this afternoon for children's lit.
|
I'm reading Invisible Monsters (Chuck Palahniuk) for like, the seventy-eighth time. It's about a girl. Birds ate her face. Yes, I enjoy being cryptic. It's a good read though.
|
Just finished Impulse - Ellen Hopkins.
Seems to be a pretty popular choice around here. I liked it, too. = ] |
Just popped in to say hi and thanks. I picked up a copy of Flowers in the Attic from the library today that I hope to get started on soon.
xxx |
^ Oooo Carrie, enjoy! I've been reading Virginia Andrews non stop since August! I'm now on "April Shadows".
|
Thanks. I am about 100 pages from the end of Tess of the D'Urbervilles which I will finish tomorrow and which I hope will have a happier ending as it has been quite sorrowful then I will start it.
I joined the library a few weeks ago, I used to always be a member until I moved here a few years ago. I had forgotten how nice the experience of browsing etc were - picked up a couple of history books aswell whilst I was there. |
Libraries are awesome! [But then I'm kind of biased!]
|
I've finally gotten started on Anna Karenina. I've had it for about a year...
Next up: Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. My English teacher recommended the Gormenghast trilogy, reckons I'd like it. |
Quote:
I a new russian dwarf hamster today and one of the 1st names I thought of was Anna due to Anna Karenina. I haven't managed to read it all through, that should go on my list also. There was a big trend with the Gormenghast trilogy a few years back but I never tried. I really need to make a list as I am reading quite a bit right now being off work and people keep mentioning books that I have wanted to read at various points. |
