So as the subject line suggests what is on your reading list at the moment?

Personally speaking I am midway through Moby **** by Herman Melville. but more excitedly my next book is Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'.....Can't wait to start it, what about you, what's on your reading list?

    I'm more than halfway through "<gaining> the truth about life after eating disorders" by Aimee Liu as well as in the middle of reading "Blow Him Away: How To Give Him Mind-blowing Oral Sex" by Marcy Michaels.

    Next up on the list is "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle" and picking back up from where I left off in "The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath".

    And yes, I obviously read a variety of material ;)

    I don't suppose your next book after that one is a collection of Edgar Alan Poe's short stories?

    I have heard about the Book Thief, is it worth me checking it out, do you think?

    'Pastoral' by Nevil Shute; 'She's Come Undone' by Wally Lamb; several Asterix books. Am re-reading all of these for the umpteenth time, as spring is late in arriving here and one needs something of good cheer. And, what the hey, it's better for me than chocolate. Sort of.

    Happy Easter...

    I have the 100 year old man book. I havent started it but I hear it is really good. Right now I am reading let's pretend this never happened by Jenny Lawson. It is hilarious so far and I'm only on chapter 2.

    Currently reading "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer and all set to read "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga. Interested to hear what you think about "Frankenstein"... I found myself disappointed with it, somehow. Something about the writing style that didn't jibe with me. Hope you love it!

    I read a it a year or so back for University, but I figure I'd give it another, more leisurely looking over, after my current book is finished, there is an exhibition of dark romanticism on at one of the museums in town and I figured if I read this again it would get me in the mood for some spooky artwork? As soon as I have digested it again I shall give you my thoughts...Enjoy your books, "Moonwalking with Einstein" sounds interesting?...

    I really enjoyed it, I know some who hated it, others that loved it, so I guess it's one to check out.

    Will have a look at the Jenny Lawson one, although I have a reading list of about 25 at the minute.... lol

    Love my Kindle!

    Actually, I was thinking of another one of his books. "She's Come Undone" is a good one. Have you read "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb? It's a long one but I remember I really enjoyed it.

    Ooooh Treasure Island what a fantastic idea....


    Did you know I am from a small city in the North of England called Preston, one of it's few claims to fame is that Benjamin Franklin lived their briefly before shipping off to the U.S. will he mention this in his autobiography do you think?
