I just finished Culture and Anarchy, by Matthew Arnold, and The Logic of Congressional Action, by R. Douglas Arnold. I'm reading Darwin's Origin of Species at the moment.
For fun, I finally finished all of the Sandman books today. What a stunning literary achievement it is, especially when you consider the fact that it was written in the course of 76 installments over 9 years. I'm reading the supplemental Endless Nights next.
I also took 3 other leisure books out of the library, which I'll probably never get to. :)

I am back on Angels & Demons. I stopped to read Anthony Rapp's book and some other book I got from the library . . . but I picked this one back up yesterday. So far, so good.

I just finished reading the Kay Francis biography "I can't wait to be forgotten".
Oh, to those who forgot who this is...fantastic 1930's actress with a lovely sordid personal life that made this book hard to put down!

The Colony by Philip Tayman. It's the true story of the people who were exiled to the leper colony on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters. I don't know how well known she is outside the UK, but here she's a highly acclaimed novelist who has published 3 novels all set in the VIctorian era, all lesbianic and all brilliant. Fingersmith, in particular, is fantastic, full of narrative surprises (one of the few books to make me gasp and exclaim while reading it). Anyway, The Night Watch is her first foray out of Victorian England, into the depths of World War II and its effect on a group of strangers whose lives interconnect over the space of 6 years. It works backwards, opening in 1947, the last chapter is set in 1941.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

"Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good."
He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?"
"Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women."
"My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much."

'Sophie's World' by Jostein Gaarder
&
'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'
The first one's at least a decade old and an international bestseller so some people may know it. Very enjoyable if you like philosophy (and aren't already a pHD in it, or you probably wouldn't learn anything new).
I read the second one ages ago but got a random Harry Potter craving recently even though I'm not a really big fan...

Colleen, it took me a year and three days to read the unabridged Les Miserables. It gets so political at times that I had to take breathers with other books.
I am currently reading AMERICAN BRUTUS: JOHN WILKES BOOTH AND THE LINCOLN CONSPIRACIES.

I'm embarassed to admit this, but it took me an entire year to read Sophie's World. I just kept putting it down, reading other things and then coming back to it. It is a very good summary of the History of Philosophy. I just happen to find philosophical writing deathly boring (I'm embarrassed to admit that one too).
Currently I am on a Harry Potter kick and just yesterday I started in on my 3rd read of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I'm very excited because I really don't remember half of what happens, so it's almost like new.

Um...I was in the library to study, and I kind of saw this book on a shelf, so I kind of read it in one sitting instead of studying. Oops.
(The book was the wonderful Bee Season, by the way. I also gobbled Gaiman's Endless Nights last night.)
