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 no time for fun books right not, but for school I'm reading:
Relational Responsibility, by Sheila McNamee and Kenneth Gergen
The Nature and Logic of Capitalism, by Robert L. Heilbroner
Hamlet and Macbeth, by William Shakespeare
The Human Body Shop, by Andrew Kimbrell

People Magazine ..... not too impressive eh? I find it vitally important to stay up to date on all of my celeb gossip!

I'm also reading Working on the Inside: The Spiritual Life Through the Eyes of Actors

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.

Ohhh I loved Roll of Thunder. Let the Circle be Unbroken was really good too. I haven't thought about that series in a LOOONG time.

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.

I'm reading "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime." Fabulous, completely original book.

Posted: 11/6/04 at 4:44pm

my mum read that, rath. i think i will eventually. i just finished "the devil and the white city" (majorly creepy) and now reading jonathon strange and mr. norrel.

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.

I am rereading "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"
and I am currently starting "The Diary of a Mad Playwright"

AND, for school I'm reading "To Kill a Mockingbird"

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/6/04 at 8:00pm

Are you looking forward to the "Sisterhood" movie?

[iRuvPrinceton]

Posted: 11/6/04 at 8:01pm

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.
