I'm reading IT by Stephen King, and I'm not enjoying it. In fact, I don't think I even want to finish it. I like his movies, his books not so much.

The Waste Lands, which is the 3rd book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I really, really like these books. It's a while since I've read something that really catches me.

I'm reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen, A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly and The Last Days of Henry VIII by Robert Hutchinson. All good books.

I tried to read this then I remembered why I gave up on the genre long time ago. They all seem to be the same, the girl is a clueless virgin and the guy is some rich womaniser that somehow falls madly in love and it all ends with they lived happily ever after.

My best friend recommended "Lolita", by Vladimir Nabokov, so that's what I'll be reading this weekend.

I'm reading some Star Trek novel. I think it's "Masks" or something like that

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"...

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

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.

The meadows are in bloom:

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.
