I set China Meiville's The City and The City as my "currently reading" book on Goodreads a couple of days ago. I haven't actually picked it up, though. I read King Rat and hated it, have been assured by someone who knows me very well that The City and The City is very different and I'll like it... but I keep picking it up, and thinking "Nyeh, I'll sew instead today"... |

It is pretty different, but obviously I have no idea if you'll like it or not :-P I'm currently reading The Edge of the World by Kevin Anderson. It's enjoyable so far :-) | |

Just picked up a new stack from my dad's books (I love having a dad who's an English lit nut), after finishing The Invention of Curried Sausage by Uwe Timm. Got Any Known Blood, Lawrence Hill; The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Quiet American, Graham Greene; My Left Foot, Christy Brown; The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck; and Of Mice and Men, also Steinbeck. I'm going to start on "Gatsby" first. |

Wishing for Tomorrow by Hilary McKay, which is a sequel (unofficial, written after the copyright expired, not starring Sarah Crewe) to A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I was largely disappointed in it the first time around, but for some reason am compelled to read it again... it's not that bad really. It's just not the original. |

Im reading the first Game of Thrones book after hearing the TV seris was good i decided the books would be ten times better than the show. I'm enjoying it so far, i can feel myself getting attached to some of the characters already and i'm only 10% in according to the Kindle. |

The moon so bright shows me the way Deep in the graveyard beside her I lay Knowing she'll keep me safe from all harms Though six feet apart, I lay in her arms... |
