What Are You Reading? - #2

I love Sylvia Plath's poetry.. so horribly depressing.. they're always a good read

Liz, remember I told you I wrote an essay on P&P.. well, uhm.. can't find it anymore

 

I'm reading my first Miami Book. '' FLORIDA GETAWAY ''
It's great...

 

Well I finished this book but can't miss the chance to reccomend it. "Observatory Mansions" by Edward Carey.

It is a great read, very complex and fascinating. It's creepy, funny, sad and ultimately moving. It concerns a man called Francis Orme who collects/steals items from other people on the one condition that the item is loved.

He lives with a group of eccentric characters in Observatory Mansions. One day his life is disrupted by a new tennant. I won't give too much away but this book is fantastic and when I found out why Francis acts the way he does I was crying. Just beautiful!

 

I am now reading Retribution!...As far as I've read it's really good..It's mystery book..

 

i read light fun books, i dont have time at school right now to read books that i have to pay really close attention to, especially since it could take me weeks to finish a book in between school work.
so yesturday when i saw the new 'shopaholic and baby' book at chapters i had to get it. ive read all the shopaholic series as well as sophie kinsellas other books. they are so fun. shopaholic and baby was just as cute and silly as the others. i read all of it yesturday so dont have to worry about not having time to finish it :lol:

 

Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

it's kind of part murder/mystery but more WHY than how or when

it's really interesting.

The author is English so there are some words I have to guess what she means

 

Besides lots of pregnancy books (I'm expecting my 1st in August) I'm plowing through Saving fish from drowning by Amy Tan.

 

For one of my university courses: My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki.

 

I´m reading Herman Melville´s MOBY DICK and A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens

 

Im rading a book called The blue girl. Its by Charles de Lint. its really really good.

 

I'm now reading Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey. It's about a woman from the future who meets a Warrior from the past. Lots of excitment and of course love.

 

I just started reading CSI: NY Blood on the Sun.

 

re-reading Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs

 

My course book Nordens arkeologi (Nordic Archaeology). It's pretty boring, but I have to read it otherwise I wouldn't study archaeology.

 

I started reading Scott Turow's novel Presumed Innconcent a couple days ago and I am loving his writing. I mid way through and the writing is fantastic along with the characters and their conflicts which feel very real. The characters have more personality and problems then the ones which are apparent which makes the characters more real.
