I'm about a 100 pages into The God of Small Things. And I'm still unsure on whether I like it or hate it. Depends on my mood I guess.

I'm reading Michel Faber's Under The Skin. A friend leant it to me, saying that I would enjoy it. I'm not that much into it yet, 49th page.

Under the Cloak

I'm currently reading If are Afraid of Heights by Raj Kamal Jha
It's an interesting novel, filled with all sorts of riddles.

And I am reading The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

Just picked up 1984. Never read it before, im expecting good things. So far it's depressing in a good way. I also have to read The Handmaids Tale for Eng Lit, so i'll be getting that tomorrow too.

Fascinating stuff.

HG Well's The Time Machine.

So far, I'm actually kind of bored of it... But I'm doing a review on it, so I must read it. Maybe it'll get better.

My dad went off on this weird bend about how novels were interfering with my studies and forbade me to read any more. However, I managed to sneak in a book or two.

The most current: The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks.
I have yet to finish it, but I am already hungering for the other books of the series.

I'm reading three books at the same time.

One-hit wonder by Lisa Jewell. It's a light, easy read.

We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our familes by Philip Gourevitch. This is about the Rwandan genocide. For some reason this topic fascinates me. One of the top guys that organised massacres escaped to the USA.

1984 by George Orwell. I thought I should read this book because it's such a well known book. It takes a lot to absorb the ideas in this book.

In the evening before I put my youngsters to bed, we are reading The Oz Chronicles Vol. I by Baum (who else ). We are on the original story right now.

I am also nearly done reading Beginings, Middles, and Ends by Nancy Kress. Her pointers are really helping me shape my first novel

And just for fun, I'm trying to read the first Nora Roberts novel I've ever read, The Blue Dahlia... but I'm a slow reader

reading the books of the baroque cycle by Neal Stephenson

Nothing really at the moment because I think I'm too succeptable for reading an author I like and beginning to write in their style. It sucks and just make me have to edit more.

Currently reading The Messenger by Markus Zusak. Apparently it's one of the most popular novels in the TAFE library so I thought I'd give it a shot. Three quarters through and I really like it.

I'll follow that up with Bella Bathurst's Special.
