I finally finished Cold Mountain , i have to say that the ending was quite good, and better then the rest of the book, though I wish that the eppilog or whatever it's called was never writen.
Now I can get on with the other books I checked out, and maybe read a little of the Sil., which I am reatempting to finish.

Finished up A Really Cute Corpse by Joan Hess and The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket over the weekend. Now I'm reading Sharpe's Gold by Bernard Cornwell.

"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... This is to be followed by my completion of "Beat To Quarters" by C.S. Forester... first book of the "Captian Horatio Hornblower" Trilogy.

Right now I´m reading Dude, where´s my country of Michael Moore and Bored of the rings. Both books are entertaining. Moore is as always hilarious, but he really makes one think. BotR is just weird.

I just started Homer's "The Odyssey." I had been shying away from the Greek literature for a while (for various reasons), but I'm enjoying this so far.

That is a good story Shadowfax, I plan on reading it again soon.
I just finished Seabiscuit and wow I must say it is an amazing story. Incredible, Seabisuit truly was the best horse in America. Now reading Peter Pan, I know it's an easy book, but so far it is kind of bizarre.

I just finished Tad Williams' "The War of the Flowers" it was soooo good! Now I need to find something else to read; I feel lost without a book in my hands.

Now I´m reading Atlas shrugged by Ayn Rand. So far it seems very good. I have read to other books by Ayn Rand from before Anthem and The Fountainhead. It´s very interesting to read her books even though you don´t agree with her views on the world.

Reading Pride and Prejudice (I love the first line) as well as Macbeth (for school). Will soon start on the His Dark Materials trilogy again, having just bought the omnibus today for half price. Jealous, Falagar?

Read a Norwegian fantasy book not long ago named "The Dragon's Tear" (the first in a serie named "The Horngod's Tale, of (as far as I know) seven books). Planning to get some of the others soon). Still re-reading LotR, I only read late at night and I don't read very much each time.

I think it's funny but I guess I don't get a lot of the jokes as I read it in English (not my native language). But it is also interesting.

Think that´s a pretty direct quote, if I remember correctly! Lovely book and lovely oldfashioned language, and most important: lovely mr. Darcy! |

I just finished reading the Prince and the Pauper, and I must say, it was better than I expected.
