Notes from an Exhibition by Patrick Gale.
I'm really enjoying it. Getting a bit confused because there are too many people that it takes the viewpoint of, and it jumps around in time a lot, but aside from that, it's very enjoyable.
And I did a bit of an Oxfam raid the other day, so I've got lots of books I want to read after I've finished it.

I'm reading that at the moment as well! I'm really loving it, I just think it's beautifully written and the characterisation is brilliant. I know what you mean about it being a bit confusing with telling the story from so many people's point of view - don't know how far through you are, but I am pretty much used to it now, and I actually like how it jumps around in time.
Yeah, good book. Would really recommend it :)
I'm also working my way through all the Harry Potter books again and reading 'The Loony Bin Trip' by Kate Millet but I haven't read much of that for a while because to be honest the style it's written in is annoying - it's too 'literary' (read: pretentious), and would be fine for a poem or short piece of prose but is annoying for a whole book. I think.
I've just finished a book by Amelie Nothomb (one of my favourite writers.She's so awesome!).
I borrowed from library Lolita (reading it again),One flew over the cookoo's nest (also reading it again) and Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
You can buy me with a coffee,I'm so cheap. Got bitten fingernails&a head full of past;Got a broken heart&your name on my cast.

Yeah, I think i'd just been reading it over too long a time period to properly get into it, but I blitzed it yesterday and today, and just understand a lot more now. It was a reaaally good book though, I really did enjoy it. I was also happy on how it finished, it ended well - but I won't say what happened :) I did really enjoy it.
I'm now reading Random Acts of Heroic Love, alongside Understanding the Policy Process. LOL. I hate that I can't quite give up my degree yet, haha.

Okay, now I HAVE to finish it tonight! =P
I'd quite like to read 'Thirteen Reasons Why' at some point.
Finished reading Crash by J.G. Ballard, and although the idea was very original, I found it hard to stay interested. He used a lot of the same words and descriptions over and over, and it got very repetitive very quickly. Also, for a book which the author himself classes as "erotic fiction", the many sex scenes read more like an instruction manual than anything else.
Currently reading CELL by Stephen King, and I'm liking it. I wouldn't say loving it, because it's far from his best work, but it's pretty good.
Well I finished Juliet, Naked By Nick Hornby last night. I did enjoy it but I didn't find it as funny and easy going as A Long Way Down which I have read by him! Interesting and worth reading but I would maybe try and borrow it of someone!
Also read What I Was By Meg Rossoff - Not great but as it was a teenage type book it got me reading a wee bit more again.
Now I have started The Amber Spyglass By Philip Pullman - it has been sitting in my bookshelf for YEARS so thought 'will finally get this trilogy finished!!!
You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
