    I started reading Gone Girl months ago. I haven't had time to finish it. The only thing I've been reading lately is textbooks :sad:

    Am currently re-re-re-reading "The Great Gatsby" F. Scott Fitzgerald. Wanted to read it 1 more time before I ruin it with a movie.

    My list of to read is massively long, but very eclectic.Especially when you add up my "real books" at home and my library on my E-reader :laugh:

    I am currently reading:
    And Another Thing by Eion Colfer - it was written to be a book 6 in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Not as good as Douglas Adams, but not too bad.
    The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbo - it was a recommended author to read after Steig Larson. The story is pretty good, but the formatting on the electronic version isn't great, the spacing between the changes in thought isn't always clear.
    The Invisible Man by HG Wells, pretty good, but takes a bit to get immersed in it

    All but done with Moby D1ck now, and I have to say it has been rather entertaining, a fascinating view into history, and a great piece of literature...Very much looking forward to getting my teeth into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein!

    The GoT books are awesome, but they do get a bit slow occasionally. I love seeing the evolution of the characters though.

    Currently reading:
    A stack of books about the Sahara desert as research for a story I'm writing
    Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott (almost done and LOVE it)
    Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (almost done and don't love it. Not a huge fan of Austen)
    Short stories by Philip K. **** (a bunch of them are free on my phone. PKD is pretty awesome.)

    Frankenstein is a pretty great book. Reading it always makes me a little sad though. Can't help but feel for the poor monster.

    I am currently re-reading "The Cat Who Looked at the Sky" by Thea Welsh for the 7th time in 5 years. It's honestly one of the best books I have ever read!

    Also reading "Once I was a Princess" by Jacqueline Gillespie, and "The Tailor of Panama" by John Le Carre. I like to have a few books on the go at once :)

    Working on 2 different ones of short stories......The complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft....The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe
    Am alternating books with each story that I read.

    H.P. Lovecraft is amazing!!! I just finished The Call of Cthulhu And Other Weird Stories. Next for me is Jules Verne... Whichever one comes first on my Kindle.

    I will tell you another one you may want to have a look at if you haven't already, Metamorphosis (a collection of stories) by Franz Kafka. It is quite dark in places but also fantastically well written.


    Love love LOVE Kafka.

    I have many things on my bookshelf, however as I am a student, I am currently reading "Water flow in soils" and a variety of other similar books. I am waiting for a break so I can pick up one of my Laurell K Hamilton books again, and a classmate gave me a copy of 'The hobbit'.

    So, I finished Beautiful *kitten* by Christina Lauren and have now started Daughter of Light by V.C. Andrews. We shall see how that goes...I used to be a fan of V.C. Andrews, but I have not been too impressed with her books the last few years.

    I LOVE READING!!!
