I'm rereading Oliver Twist, and soon I will begin on Pride and Prejudice.
I'm looking forward to that, I'm in a very Jane Austen-y mood.

I most recently read:
The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin, loved it, so sweet and funny.
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. Absolutely loved the book, will have to rent the movie.
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Freaking hilarious, loved it.
The Alchemist Was assigned it for school, wasn't as bad as I expected.
Now I have been assigned My Name is Asher Lev for school, have to start reading that soon, lol.

I love Asher Lev. And, well, anything written by Chaim Potok. He clearly had father issues, but my god he could write.

Posted: 2/23/06 at 11:17pmMy teacher says it was really the best book that we'll read all year. And she's a tell-it-like-it-is kind of person...she told my class basically all the books we'd read this year wouldn't be that enjoyable (which is true, lol). So I'm looking forward to reading this.

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
One of the approximatly 47 books that qualify as my favorite. I desperately need to buy a new copy for reading before the one I have falls apart. It's my mom's 1966 pocket paperback edition, which she loaned me in high school and I've never returned. It's such a nice little book with that wonderful old book smell and I always smile when I look at the title page where my mom wrote her name and later went back and added her married name. The whole thing has huge sentimental value.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 6:40pmI'm finishing Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers, and am thinking about trying Gaudy Night by the same author. I read most of the Wimsey books a long time ago, but never got to Gaudy Night.

How did you like Memoirs of a Geisha? I remember not being able to put it down.
Right now I'm reading The Color Purple. I love it almost as much as I love the musical.

Oh, I had to read that book a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed it, but some of it was just flat out odd. lol.

I liked it a lot!! It was hard for me to put it down, too, even if it was like 2 in the morning and I needed sleep. It makes me want to go watch the movie now and see how it compares.

Finished unabridged Les Miserables mid-week.
I read The Five People You Meet in Heaven yesterday. It was fantastic.
Today I am starting Lord of the Flies since I never had to read it in high school.
