    Get Real, by Donald E Westlake. I guess I have read all the Dortmunder novels two or three times. His brand of humor never gets old. I sure hate we lost him.

    I'm also re-reading George Washington: Farmer, by Paul Leland Haworth on ProjectGutenberg.org. I have written a few stories set in 1718, and Augustine Washington, Jane Butler and Mary Ball are some of the historical characters. Of course with anything set in that time and place, tobacco and corn are a big part of the story.

    Three Day Road- Joseph Boyden

    That was a strange book, but very good. It tells the story of the Great War from a perspective few in America even think of.

    Because of school, I'm taking a break from reading but right now I'm a little past halfway in Looking for Alaska by John Green. The next books I'll be reading are Assassin's Creed Black Flag by Oliver Bowden and the A Song of Ice and Fire series from book four and on.

    How to be a woman - Caitlin Moran. Very good, very funny. About half way through so cannot deliver a complete verdict quite yet.
    Just finished Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Also very good, quite dark, quite confusing to grasp at some parts but over all and interesting (and slightly messed up) read.

    I love a good Welsh book....trying to persuade book club to read the sequel, just because it's full of village mothers , and it amuses me to have them all talking about porno...
    Looking forward to his new one.

    Didn't rate the Moran book.

    The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer...

    ...a postcyberpunk novel by Neal Stephenson. It is to some extent a science fiction bildungsroman or coming-of-age story, focused on a young girl named Nell, and set in a future world in which nanotechnology affects all aspects of life. The novel deals with themes of education, social class, ethnicity, and the nature of artificial intelligence.

    'Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain' - open water swimming, lidos and outdoor pools, beautifully written.

    Also working my way through the Smitten Kitchen cookbook and New Rules for Women.

    Burial Rites by Hannah Kent.

    Haunting and melancholy, but a total page-turner (so far)!

    That book is one of my favourites. It is so so haunting and well written. I got through it in one day because it was just so amazing.

    I am currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

    If you love fantasy books I highly recommend to my MFP friends to read Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones! :-)

    Howl's Moving Castle is a BOOK!!!! I must read this! :love:

    It is a series of three books, and they are ALL SO AMAZING. A lot of people don't seem to like the other two because they don't deal directly with Sophie and Howl, but I love them EVEN MORE because the world that Dianna Wynne Jones builds is just so magical and amazing and *squee*
