Finished Salem's Lot a few days back, started The Stand. Also, I'm finishing off A Game of Thrones. I haven't got much left to read on that though.

Tiamat10

I'm reading Ronja Røverdatter (Ronia The Robber's Daughter is the English title, I think) by Astrid Lindgren.

HEAT by Bill Buford (past editor of the New Yorker and Granta) about his passion for cooking and his apprenticeship in Mario Batali's NY kitchen. It's well written and absorbing but so obsessed with every detail (i.e. pages and pages dedicated to finding the very first recipe in the history of the world where an egg was introduced in the making of pasta), I can only read a few pages at a time, and then I'm full.

All The Pretty Horses, by Cormac McCarthy

I don't like it. Some of the women in our neighborhood have a book club. They decided to invite the husbands for one book. This is what was chosen, otherwise I would have stopped reading it.

Five on a treasure island (the famous five) - research purposes.

Since I'm writing a YA and I loved these books when I was younger, I'm going to read them all again and analyse what it was exactly that got me hooked. The secret forumla is in there goddammit and I'll find it!!

I'm working on three books -- road book, bathroom book and bedroom book. Respectively, they are:

1) Atlas Shrugged (read it before, but it's ever-more-pertinent in this day-and-age).

2) The Portable Jung (Good subset of his essays).

3) Domain-Driven Design (nerd book)
