I'm currently reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It's pretty interesting, but I'm not sure how I like the writing style yet. Plus there is an entire page where all the incorrect quotations marks make me crazy.
After I finish this I'll probably finish rereading Pride and Prejudice then move on to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series or something else entirely.

Right now, I'm reading It by Stephen King (mostly because I needed a book to read after each of my exams until I could leave the testing room, and it was the first one I saw in my unread pile).

Copper Thunderbird by Marie Clements. -- this play is eating my brain.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling. -- bam. Just finished it.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling. -- onwards in the series! Must...catch up...to....best friend.
My Name is Seepeetza by Shirley Sterling. -- this is a textbook for next semester and I can already see that I'm going to be very depressed all fall.

Mad World by Paula Byrne, which is partly a biography of Evelyn Waugh, partly one of the Lygon family. I love having biographical context for novels (which I know some Armadillos hate; don't shoot me!), and the book's mainly about tying various events in Waugh's life to his novels, so I'm a very happy English geek.
That's my respectable book, anyway. The rest of the time I'm reading the Eighth Doctor Adventures, because oh hey, Alan Turing and talking tigers and swordfights in wedding dresses (not all in the same book, sadly).

Plus there is an entire page where all the incorrect quotations marks make me crazy. I really enjoy Fforde's sense of humour, as well as the metatextual playfulness. It's so sickeningly genre-savvy and at the same time completely absurd. |

Truckers by Terry Pratchett. Or it could be Diggers; which is the first one?

I just finished Don't Breathe A Word by Jennifer McMahon, and now I'm reading The Titan's Curse, which is the third book in the Percy Jackson series.

Clear and Present Danger, Tom Clancy.
I'm totally allowed to hate jingoism, blind patriotism, and criticism of everything that's not conservative right-wing Republican...but am totally allowed to love military hardware and spy shit, right?

'Angelology' by Danielle Trusonni, 'Outlander' by Dianna Gabaldon, 'An Echo in the Bone' also by Gabaldon (and can I mention that they're the first and latest in the same series?), 'Fellowship of the Ring', Tolkien. Also working my way through 'The Corps' series by WEB Griffin again, and contemplating starting 'Game of Thrones' and 'Hunger Games'. Unrelated, but I'm kicking myself for not getting a few of Clancy's stuff when I was at the book store today. There was a bunch in the bargain bin.  |

As for what I'm reading: Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen, Soulless by Gail Carringer, Bone Gods by Caitlin Kittredge,Dead Until Dark by Charlane Harris, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald I'm giving up on Gatsby for now. In the middle and it's quite dull. I am now also reading: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Sutterfield Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin And I will be starting Good Omens this coming week. |

I'm currently reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Great Gatsby. I've been meaning to read the latter for ages, but it took the Nerdfighter Blurbing Book Club to actually motivate me to do it.
