So whats everyone reading?

Posted: 11/6/04 at 2:04pm

Currently I'm reading "The Nanny Diaries" by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus for fun, and "Frankenstein" for my Romanticism class. They're both excellent, though I don't reccomend the Branagh film version of 'Frankenstein.'

Man on Fire -- AJ Quinell

While I'm out today though, I have to go pick up the new Sophie Kinsella book "Shopaholic and Sister." It's sick, but I'm so addicted to that series!

A Clockwork Orange. I'd tried it over the summer but I couldn't get into it, but I picked it up again and I'm glad I did.

I'm sick, so pretty much all I have been doing is reading and browsing this site!
I decided to revisit Alan Cumming's novel Tommy's Tale, and also start PS. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I have to read "Pride and Prejudice" for school, so I've started that, and on the side I'm reading "Stupid White Men" by Michael Moore.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

I actually haven't started Macbeth yet- what I posted is my slightly ridiculous weekend reading list. But I love my Shakespeare, so I'm looking forward to this.

"I have to reada Let the Circle be Unbroken for my English class..."

Oh, I loved Let the Circle be Unbroken. Almost as good as Roll of Thunder.
Right now I'm reading Mirror, Mirror. Thinking about revisiting The Giver.

Fast Food Nation is a fantastic book! Swore me off McDs for over a year now!

I'm reading Nocturne, a play by Adam Rapp, and about to start reading (don't judge me), He's Just Not That Into You.

The funny thing is, the author of Fast Good Nation admits he still eats at McDonalds. :)

Anyhoo...I'm a little mad because my library system was so slow in getting me Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell that it was due in a few days by the time it arrived. I didn't even bother starting it. *sigh* I'll just have to request it again when I have winter break.

Are you looking forward to the "Sisterhood" movie?

Yes, and no. Yes, because I want to see what they've done with it. No, because I'm scared they might butcher it.

I'm purposely not reading it beforehand. I've been disappointed countless times by reading the book first. I'm excited because Amber Tamblyn is in the film.
