What'cha Reading?

One of his better books. Unlike Blink, which was near worthless.

Finished re-reading The Great Gatsby. Still fantastic. Started This Side of Paradise, which I've never read.

Oh gawd. So based on some other thread about feminism and 50 shades of grey, I decided to run out and get the E. L. James book. Total fail. 10 million copies in 37 countries of pure shite. Less than half the way through I started skimming for any nugget of substance. None exists. Even the erotic writing is repetitive and dull. Once you've read one scene you've read it all.

I almost did that... thank you for saving my mind!

Good ol' Mark Twain. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Gotta be one of my favorite fiction ever. I can't recount how many times I've re-read it.

I jumped on the bandwagon last week and read all 3 books in 5 days. I enjoyed it. Granted, the sex scenes started getting repetitive but i did enjoy psycho-analysing the characters. The red room of pain looks like fun.

I'm reading a very persuasive article on ForeignPolicy.com about bringing back the draft.

I'm finally tackling Lord of the Rings trilogy. I hated the movies, really bad idea to watch them first, it turned me off to the whole idea... I picked up the fellowship at Savers and started to read and it looked awesome!! So excited.
