I've just finished reading "Confessions of a Working Girl". It was really good, funny and at times (most of the time!) VERY graphic!

I may move onto American Psycho now...we'll see. 

"Today is the tomorrow you were worrying about yesterday"

Right now I am reading the message boards on AE and on Yahoo360.

Just finished "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte...

it turned out to be better than i had expected...

Just finished Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. The movie was free on On Demand and was just interesting enough to make me want to know more about the characters, so I got the book from the library. 

I'm about to start Michael Chabon's Wonder Boy. 

 And now for a book geek moment- I really liked The Historian!

Last Harry Potter and The Night Watch - Sarah Waters

"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman" - Virginia Woolf

I am currently inhaling all of the written works of jeanette Winterson. I read an excerpt of "oranges are not the only fruit" and have since read 5 other of her novels. Im reading "The world and other places " right now, and im about halfaway through.

"Men plan, God laughs"

I just finished S is for Silence by Sue Grafton.  Just last night I started Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

Steve Biko's - i Write what i like

Rebecca Wells - Little Alters Everywhere and

D.H. Lawrence - Women In Love

Just finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows...now I'm reading a reference book from work called "Eclipse Rich Client Platform"......snoring.....

I've just put Ask the Pilot (mentioned in original post) on hold in favour of Confessions of a Working Girl, now that my wife-partner Kirsty is finished with it. It's very nice so far, but someone needs to teach the author (or her editor/proofreader!) about comma splices.

True happiness, we are told, consists in getting out of one's self, but the point is not only to get out, you must stay out; and to stay out you must have some absorbing errand. -Henry James

I just finished reading Silas Marner and now I'm reading Middlemarch. Thanks to the first season of Bad Girls I discovered a new interest in works by George Eliot :)

And I'm also reading Sleeping Bones by Katherine V. Forrest

I was reading the morning paper. now my email and message boards.

Last night I finished Ugly Americans by Ben Mezrich (the author of Bringing Down the House - the book, not the movie). It was very entertaining! As someone who knows next to nothing about investments aside from what buying and shorting means, this book was still approachable and a great story.

I don't know what's next for me.

Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub and I just purchased Water For Elephants on Rosie's recommendation, but I let my friend borrow it first.

…But finally I got the book in my hands ‘Memories of a Geisha’.  

'I swear that's the exact same cow we passed about six miles ago.'

Reading Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper" - It is the first book I've read by Jodi Picoult and am enjoying it thoroughly :-)

"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman" - Virginia Woolf

I'm reading Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, although I haven't touched it in two weeks because I'm mad at Maud (I was similarly mad at Kitty Butler when I read Tipping The Velvet. I get attached... *Sigh*). Hoping to pick it up again by this weekend.

(N.B. Please do not spoil me by saying, "You won't be mad at her for long..." or something. ;-)

At the moment, I'm reading about 5 books:

Susan Sontag's At the Same Time

Colette's The Pure and the Impure

Camus' The Rebel

John Gray's Straw Dogs

I know that I'm crazy. I'll be starting Dante's Inferno soon. I can't believe that I made through highschool and college without reading this book.

George Elliot, Henry James, Willam Faulker, Flannery O'Connor, Djuna Barnes are just a few of a long list of authors that I love.

 been trying to read HP and the Deathly Hallows for a while now.. can't finish it though.. busy with school work..

"what if what I am isn't what people expect of me?"

 I just finished reading 'Tipping The Velvet' by Sarah Waters, and now i'm sorta reading anything off my huge bookshelf. I'm waiting on a book I ordered from Amazon, but in the meantime i'm all over the place. I'm also waiting for Dan Brown to release his new Robert Langdon book, and until then i'm trying to get into 'Digital Fortress' and kinda failing. I'm having to read a bunch of short texts to do with feminism (yawn) for my English coursework, my sister leant me 'Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks, so i might begin with that.

Damn they don't make 'em like this anymore...

I'm reading The World Without Us. It's taking me forever to get through it, sadly. Damn twelve hour workdays! I miss having time to read.

I think I'll move back into fiction when I get through this one. Or, I might pick up Into the Wild.

i absolutely adore jeanette winterson i am currently reading Art & Lies for I dunno the tenth time.  I don't know if you have gotten to the Poetics of Sex in The World and Other Places but if not skip to it because it is absolutely amazing. I literally changed the way I write as did Written on the Body.

I am also about to start Exit to Eden for my book club.

"But I dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above te smallness of it all. The smallness that I am. Against the daily death the iconography of wings."

The Night Watch (Sarah Waters) - am about a quarter into the book, and it isn't doing much for me I must say.

"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman" - Virginia Woolf

The Regan Diaries...while i dont agree with him politically its interesting to see decisions made on a MUCH grander scale than i make...(aka instead of worrying about what to eat for dinner he was worried about nuking countries..lol). plus reading about the love between nancy and him is just..inspiring

Im also re-reading EAT PRAY LOVE...amazing book that is now in my top 3 EVER...it touched such a chord with me the first time(its the true story about a woman in her early 30s who decides to leave everything and go on a year long trip to 3 places...italy/india/bali to find different things about herself) i would HIGHLY recommend this book to others

I've just finished "pages for you" by Sylvia Brownrigg. A friend sent it to me to let me know that she's still heart-broken over a girl. :( cheer up, mate!

oh and the book? really really good!

Currently reading the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon I'm reading number 5 The Fiery Cross.  The series started out as time travel but now its about Scottish immigrants in North Carolina, still good though

History of the English Speaking Peoples - by Winston Churchill (Because I'm in English History 213)

The Stranger - by Albert Camus (Because I absolutely love it)

Mrs. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf (again, love, love, love)

Siddharta - Herman Hesse (Because it's good for me)
