    I have a lot of unread books on my Kindle. Now trying to read some classics that I've never read. "Little Women" is my current one.

    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'.


    I feel your pain I graduated last year in Environmental science (BSc) at times it was painful but worth it in the long run! I still have all my books at home in the UK they cost me a small fortune and I swore that one day I would sit down and read them cover to cover.....That day is yet to come! lol best of luck with your studies!

    Well this week I read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and I absolutely LOVED IT! It is NOTHING like the succession of terrible films they made about it....Brilliantly written and unputdownable!

    I also had a chance to read the collected poems and short stories of Edgar Alan Poe, and I am currently working my way through the Fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson, which I have to declare, has seriously got me hooked, these stories are supposed to be for children yet their subject matter is sooooooo dark!!!! As an example I never knew the REAL ending to "The Little Mermaid" was so tragic, I don't want to spoil it too much for anyone planning on reading it, but it certainly differs from the sugary DISNEY version!!! LOL!!!!

    Well my reading goal for this coming week is to finish reading Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy stories, which I am very much enjoying.

    Then read Louis Carrol's Alice's Adventures in wonderland, and then move on to some heavier reading.....

    I have a trilogy of books by John Paul Satre which are burning a hole in my bookshelf, so if all goes well I shall venture into those at some point later in the week......

    How about everyone else, where are you reading wise?

    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 love it how they censured the title of the great novel by Melville...

    Yes, It's a great read although Emma Bovary irritated me throughout the entire book. :))
