I'm currently reading In the Flesh: The Cultural Politics of Body Modification by Victoria Pitts.
It's really interesting; the first chapter was a bit dry, but I am at the section about women that are body modifiers, so naturally my ears perk up. lol
On a sidenote, I listened to this podcast about the future of book publishing and the professor commented that about half of college students don't pick up a book after they graduate. Half! Isn't that sad? Why people don't read is beyond me.....
My Religion and Philosophy teacher saw me reading Ulysses the other day and was amazed that someone was actually bothering to read it. Apparently it's the most bought and unread book in Ireland. I'm really loving it so far; the dialogue is incredibly realistic "Dublinese" and the stream-of-consciousness narrative really sucks you in. I'm loving the parallels with Homer's Odyssey too.

Just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I didn't like it much at first, I was annoyed that no one seemed to notice his eternal youth... But it got better, and the ending was far better than the film's one.

I read a couple more chapters of The Book Thief earlier.
