What are you reading right now?

Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd. Not sure I'm enamoured, Hardy and I have always had a troublesome relationship.

Rereading The Luxe series. Mm, things set in the Victorian Era~

Singularity Sky, Charles Stross

[Schlager]

Game of Thrones, finished all the books but I'm re-reading (on book 3).

Started Les Miserables, which is surprisingly good, if ridiculously lengthy.

Also picked up e-samples of Wheel of Time and Life of Pi...I think I want the actual books for Wheel of Time instead of the e-book. I'm sure I can pick up a used set for cheap! Can't wait for the Life of Pi movie tho, Ang Lee ftw!

Death of a Salesman. I absolutely HATE this play. Willy Loman is by far my least favorite character to ever walk the fictional world; he ruined the entire play. I can't even read it anymore, I hate him so thoroughly.

Battle Royale. Well the manga of it anyway. Gotta love highschool students shooting each other.....or not.

Oh me too, I've had to read it about 4-5 times now. Between High School and College and it SUCKS.

Zoo City, by Lauren Beukes. Thought it might have a lot of appeal for Petopians, with animal familiars that grant psychic powers.

Also, The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Engines of God.

Edit: Disappointed with Zoo City. Ended up being more of a silly crime novel.

Väinö Linna's Täällä Pohjantähden alla (Under the North Star), which I have read before. I read it first about six years ago, forcing myself to pick it up because I have never been a fan of Linna's more famous work Tuntematon Sotilas. I've been meaning to read it again for years, but didn't get round to it until now. It is even better than I remember, and is a very poignant work on the Finnish Civil War told from the "red" perspective, and of the Winter and Continuation Wars. It has had a profound effect on my interest in my nation's history (and broke some long-held prejudices, as I come from a "white" family), and I even named my son after one of the characters.

I have heard that the translation to English is poor, and I've never been able to find it in shops, but it's a book I recommend to all who might be interested in the Finnish psyche, history and culture.

A Memory of Light - by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson. The very last Wheel of Time book, ever.

I'm so frustrated I have to wait until it gets released in pocket size. Why can't they release both sizes at the same time? I refuse to have one oversized book on the shelf, even though I really, really, really want to read the ending. I've only been waiting some 15 years for this...

Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Not amazing and eye-opening, but a fun little romance and it has some really neat aspects. I really, really hope the sequel comes out soon, the end was frustrating as fel!

Arthas

[GormanGhaste]

I read Arthas and found it...serviceable, but then I never was that interested in the Arthas storyline. The other half bought the e-book of Tides of War and liked it, so I may start on that this week.

Will also start reading State of Decay by James Knapp for my book club.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which was absolutely brilliant.

I've heard it's a good play, but I haven't read it yet. Have you read Davalos' Wittenberg? There's a production going on here right now.

I haven't, though it sounds neat, I'll have to check it out. And I highly recommend R&G are Dead, though you may want to read Hamlet beforehand (for the first time or as a refresher).
