What are you reading?
I managed to get through Fanny Hill w/out vomiting, complete change of pace next, I'm going for Northanger Abbey=)
I'm reading Chanel: A Woman Of Her Own and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Oh, and Walk This Way: The Autobiography Of Aerosmith.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is just epic.
it is love it
reading The poisonwood Bible, Remember Me and Dedication
remember me was a great bubblegum read
and the poisonwood bible was a great insite on Post Colonial Africa
i'm working my way through Discworld :3 Finished up Mort the other day, just starting in on Sourcery.
Love the Discworld books=D
Finished Northanger Abbey, it wasn't one of Jane Austen's best, the characters were really exaggerated and quite annoying. Fortunately it's a short book=) Have started The Arabian Nights now, enjoying it so far.
Laurel I thought the same about Northanger Abbey, my favorite Austen book is still Pride and Prejudice.
I'm reading Alice in Wonderland, my dad convinced me to. So far it's good. And a book called Bonjour Tristesse, it's in french. Apparently it was very famous in the 60's when it was published, it's very mellow, I'm about to finish it. It's pretty good so far!
Yep think P&P (as my English teacher used to call it) is the best I've read so far, Emma wasn't bad though. Might have a go at Sense and Sensibility next.
The Alice books are really good, definitely all time faves. Still enjoying the Arabian Nights, makes me want to roam around the Middle East in harem pants, eating dates lol.
hahaha I also have Arabian Nights, but I haven't got a chance to read it. I have like 10 books in line waiting for me to read them! And I usually read two books at the same time, so I can practice different languages cause I like to read in the three languages I know.
I got a phone app which has 101 classic books and it's a nightmare trying to decide which one to read=)
That's a good way to practise languages, I might try it when I become more proficient in the languages I'm trying to learn=) I can read novels in French, they had us do it in school, was a headache at the time, but I'm glad now.
Laurel that sounds similar to the ap I have for my ds - its 100 classics and I've read 6 so far (Secret Garden, 2 Sherlock Holmes books, Dr Jeckyl & Mr Hyde, White Thang and Call of the Wild) - v good value for money
I'm reading the Minotaur takes a cigarette break and I'm loving it. Its beautifully written, so much so that I almost don't want to finish it.
Oh I hate finishing a book that's really good. You want to devour it one go but take it easy at the same time=)
I read Mansfield Park and Sense & Sensibility one after the other, I think Jane Austen created some of the most irritating women ever comitted to paper, I could've slapped Mrs Norris in Mansfield Park.
I'm coming to the end of Jane Eyre now, I think she was an idiot, I'd have stayed with Rochester=)
EDIT: Have now finished Jane Eyre and as she ended up with Rochester anyway she may as well have just stayed with him. They could've lived in the other house and the Mrs would've karked it anyway d'oh.
Mrs Norris? I found Fanny Price waaaaay more irritating.
I'm currently reading Let th Right One in by John Ajvide Lindqvist (in English!) I saw the film recently, and I'm enjoying seeing what differs
I can't bear people like Mrs Norris, she was a total snob.
I'm currently reading Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence, it's just full of snobbery lol.
Well I finished Age of Innocence and all I can say is yaaaaaaawn. It hardly went anywhere, nobody did anything and it ended not with a bang but with a whimper.
Trying House of Mirth now to see if Edith can redeem herself.
