I must admit...
I read Bertie Wooster Sees it Through between Howards End and North & South. I can't help myself! Now I will read North & South

Dream Buster! It`s a Miyabe Miyuki novel (series) about Dream Busters Shen and Maestro who save you from criminals from another dimension that hijack your consiousness by way of nightmares. It`s pretty good.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. But don't read it unless you've read or are planning to read her poems at some point.

I'm in the middle of High Rhulain, a good ol' Brian Jacques adventure. Not too bad, as Jacques goes. Next up on my list: The Count of Monte Cristo. That is one heck of a long book! But then...I've read Wheel of Time all the way through Knife of Dreams, so who am I to talk about long books?

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran-Foer. (Think I got his name right.) Extremely good read actually. It is very warm and funny. I like the pictures in it aswell.

I've just packed my books for the holidays. 17 books for 28 days, if I'd take more I'd return with unread books which is a bit of a waste. One reading marathon coming up. I love it!
Currently reading 'Going Postal' by Terry Pratchett, well, just started reading actually.

So Hector, did the new glasses arrive yet? It sounds like your current pair needs some readjusting.
I'll post my real list of books when I get back because I will have read them then. And then I will kick your butt, point and laugh at you.

I need to get some of those books.
I've just finished The Count of Monte Cristo. It seemed to slow up at parts, but the climax and end were amazing. I was watching with an almost horrified fascination at the action.

Lately, I have read quite alot of books. It is nothing compared to Earniel, really.
The trilogy about Arn, written by Jan Guilluo. Very good read. Entertaining, and fun to read. I learned something about the medieval, and the war in the Holy Land. Do Androids Dream about Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick. I read it one night, taking the train to Trondheim from Oslo, and I dunno if I got the point completley. But I liked it, and think I have to read some more sci-fi-novels. The Constant Gardener by John Le Carre. What a pile of **** the pharmasy-buisness is. A good and thrilling book. And I began reading Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I like it, this far.

Currently reading the Aeneid, Wilde's plays, Blessings in Disguise (Alec Guiness' memoirs), Literary Converts by Joseph Pearce and...something else, I'm sure, but I can't recall what, exactly. Oh, the Kalevala!
