I'm reading Mrs. Dalloway, by Viriginia Woolf. I haven't gotten very far though because I already have a quiz on Monday, a paper due and two other assignments. Ah well.

I'm reading 'Half a life' by Naipaul. About a young man who is trying to come into terms with himself, but doesn't succeed very well.

It is my personal opinion that Virginia Woolf was crazy.
This book is insane.

Hi! I'm on the last few pages of Stephen King's 'Wizard and Glass', book four of the 'Dark Tower' series. This is a re-read and is in preparation for October when the fifth book is released.
Once finished I will then start his 'Eye of the Dragon'. |

We're about to start reading "Beowulf" for school.... I don't know about this. (But at least it's a translation, it's not like I have to make my way through Anglo-Saxon.)
