    I just finished reading Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth. They are similar to Hunger Games but better, imo. I can't wait for the third one to come out in October.

    I'm about to pick up Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, once revision and exams are all over. It's been sitting on my table for months but I know once I start reading it I won't want to stop.

    Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis! I love it! Next, I plan on reading a less mentally strenuous book - Anne of Green Gables, then Anne of Avonlea, then Our Mutual Friend by Charles D. Sorry, I like to plan way ahead on what I'm gonna read next. :))

    I am reading Barbara Kingsolver's latest, "Flight Behavior". Enjoying it so far. Before that I read and really enjoyed, "The Last Runaway" by Tracy Chevalier. I have read all the books she has written.

    I am currently reading the FBI Profiler series by Lisa Gardner and I am on The Killing Hour.

    I love this series so far, and I am excited to finish this book to see how the main character catches the bad guy :wink:

    I just finished Jen Lancaster's "My Fair Lazy" which was cute and funny but not really thought provoking until the end. It gave me some ideas of how my husband and I can get off the couch and away from the TV and start some new experiences.

    I'm about to start on the final Harry Potter book, not sure if I can stand the suspense. :laugh: My grandson has seen all the movies but just started on the books so this is something we can share. I have only seen the first movie and will be interested to see how the books and movies differ while he is doing the same in reverse.

    I'm going to start reading 'Fifty shades of Grey'. All the opposing arguments and comments I've read/heard (how great the book is vs. how rubbish it is) left me confused so I asked my landlord to borrow me the book. Until now, I was reading 'Terre des hommes' by Antoine de Sent-Exupery (Lithuanian translation, of course) for like three months but I couldn't force myself to keep reading the book so I decided to put it away for some time - I will try to read it again later.

    I am already planning on what I am reading after Pride and Prejudice, it is the Night series by Elie Wiesel.

    Night is an incredible book! One of my favorite quotes is from Night, "“He explained to me, with great emphasis, that every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer… Man comes closer to God through the questions he asks Him, he liked to say.”

    Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

    The book I am reading most actively at the moment is Phil Goulding's A Ticket to the Opera, a surprisingly and refreshingly down-to-earth guide to the fundamentals of opera with synopses of the operas most often performed at the Met. Goulding, a journalist rather than a musician, has an engaging style that belies the thoroughness with which he covers his subject. It's a good introduction for the casual lover of classical music who has always been interested in opera but never found it terribly accessible.
