h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Me!!!!! I LOVED them as a kid now my daughter loves them too, proves they are timeless

Beyond Nab End, the second volume in William Woodruff's autobiography.

Robert Rankin > 'Sex Drugs and Sauasage Rolls'

I'm reading quite an interesting book to anticipate my summer camp post:

'You choose: a handbook for staff working with people who have learning difficulties to promote self-esteem and self-advocacy' Jenny Mosley.

It's a lot more interesting than it seems!

The Return of the King - J.R.R. Tolkien.

I decided I couldn't be bothered to wait for the film.

I'm going to wait until closer to when the movie comes out, I read Two Towers too early and ended up a bit confused when I saw it because I couldn't remember what parts were in the book and what parts weren't (that bit with the Elves at Helm's Deep really threw me).

Since I finished my last book while at work I was at the mercy of what was in my "desk library", so I'm currently on 'Tuesday The Rabbi Saw Red' by Harry Kemelman. I enjoyed the last book I read in this series, they're nice little mysteries peppered with explanations of concepts in the Jewish faith. Plus they go quick.

Loads, including:

"ROGUE STATES: The Rule of Force in World Affairs" by Noam Chomsky

(and of course the new Harry Potter book when it comes out).

The Count of Monte Christo - Alexandre Dumas

(after reading all the good books I always thought I should get around to, I'm finally catching up on my backlog of classics )

House of Leaves - Daniel Z. Somebody-or-other (can't remember his surname!). One freaky sandwich of a book. Very odd.

The Confession of Brother Haluin. Yes, more Cadfael.

Bosie:the man, the poet, the lover of oscar wilde
by douglas murray
but i'm supposed to be reading The Tale of Healer Miguel Perdomo Neira by david sowell for latin american history class... sounds kind of good but i haven't started it and probably won't til the weekend.

moby dick - herman melville

i started it five years ago but keep getting confused with the old english/american......doing about a page a day now.

A book I've always wanted to read is Brideshead Revisited, my mum's got it so after I've plowed my way through all my sci fi books I'll give it a go

Just finished Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen - a bit of light reading post Poisonwood Bible and have just started The Case of the General's Thumb by Andrey Kurkov ... thoroughly enjoyed Death and the Penguin so figured it made sense to give him another go ...

I'm reading George Orwell's 1984 (i'm a bit of late developer)- i'm starting to freak myself out a wee bit if i didn't know better, i'd swear it was written yesterday and not 50 years ago. after that i think its something light and fluffy ... can anyone recommend a good thomas the tank engine book?

I am presently reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel - which promises to be ' a novel of such rare and wonderful storytelling that it may, as one character claims, make you believe in God'. Can't wait!

(so far it is quite wonderful)

London by Edward Rutherfurd and Enquiry by Dick Francis.

'Clarissa' by Samuel Richardson (not for fun!). Have just finished a rather good thriller 'About the Author' by John Colapinto (or similar spelling) and plan to move on to 'The Worm Ouroboros' (again, no idea of spelling)

Marcel Proust > 'Swann's Way'

Sorry not reading any books at the moment, just concentrating on my coursework and dissertation I need to do for my uni! But I have read books by Stephen King in the past, and thought they were great
