Is this the first time you're reading Pride and Prejudice? It's one of my favorite novels....I read it again almost every year.

Well i'm actually reading P+P for the first and second time at the moment. I'm reading it firstly for pleasure and i'm about halfway through, but i'm also reading it for English Literature and we're quite a way behind so i'm reading each chapter twice effectively!

I'm still reading The Count of Monte Cristo, and on the weekend I started Shakespeare's Hamlet (ugh) for English.

Re-reading C. S. Lewis' Surprised by Joy. Wanting to pick up some Chesterton. Hey Gwai, I just emailed you and asked if you had read any Chesterton! I also want to pick up Don Q., on Artanis' recommendation, and start Karamazov (sp)? Too many good books, not enough time! Am finishing up reading Lewis' The Horse and His Boy to the kiddos. I can't read the part when Shasta goes back to save Aravis w/o crying!! I had to ask hubby to read it ![]()

I just finished the forth book of the Annals of the Black Company. It was probably the best one, though 2 (Shadows Linger) and 3 (The White Rose) were good. You could almost start with Shadows Linger and read The Black Company (the first one) as a prequel.
So what to read next.....

Oh my, other than class books?
Not much time for reading, but I'm currently in the middle of reading Douglas R. Hofstadter's book: Gödel, Escher and Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid -- a metaphorical fuge on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Caroll. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time as of late to read as I have been suffering through midterms, and I might have to go back and review before I can continue. Fascinating book, though.

Recently finished Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, which I rediscovered after having forgotten about it over the years. It's a charmer of a novel. I also read Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer for the first time, and it was jolly good fun.
Oh yeah, and there are my textbooks, too. ![]()
