I'm currently reading 'The gates of Paradise', last of the 'Mark Stevens' science-fiction series by Felix Thyssens. 30-year old science fiction is fun to read.

I'm reading alot and it's all in the name of exams:
The Odyssey - Homer Electra - Sophocles Agamemnon - Aeschylus Oedipus Tyrannus - Sophocles Peace - Aristophanes The Wasps - Aristophanes Acharnians - Aristophanes Frankenstein - Mary Shelley The Merchants Tale - Chaucer Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller And there all closed book, apart from Frankenstein. It's alot of memorising.

I love reading but... well this is almost putting me off for life. At least Classical Greek Plays I'm going to start reading 'Paridise Lost' if I can get a hold of a copy - and find the time.

Ah, I love the Greek plays. But I suppose having to read all of them at once could be a little off-putting, yes, I can see that. . .

I'm reading Wolf Wing. It's good, but has an unusual writing style. I like that, though.

Dont worry, if I can handle Tolstoy's long rampages about Napoleon in War and Peace (sometimes they extend to about a hundred pages long!), I'm sure I can get through the river parts in Jane Eyre
