I set China Meiville's The City and The City as my "currently reading" book on Goodreads a couple of days ago. I haven't actually picked it up, though. I read King Rat and hated it, have been assured by someone who knows me very well that The City and The City is very different and I'll like it... but I keep picking it up, and thinking "Nyeh, I'll sew instead today"...

It is pretty different, but obviously I have no idea if you'll like it or not :-P

I'm currently reading The Edge of the World by Kevin Anderson. It's enjoyable so far :-)

Just picked up a new stack from my dad's books (I love having a dad who's an English lit nut), after finishing The Invention of Curried Sausage by Uwe Timm. Got Any Known Blood, Lawrence Hill; The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Quiet American, Graham Greene; My Left Foot, Christy Brown; The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck; and Of Mice and Men, also Steinbeck. I'm going to start on "Gatsby" first.

Wishing for Tomorrow by Hilary McKay, which is a sequel (unofficial, written after the copyright expired, not starring Sarah Crewe) to A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I was largely disappointed in it the first time around, but for some reason am compelled to read it again... it's not that bad really. It's just not the original.

Im reading the first Game of Thrones book after hearing the TV seris was good i decided the books would be ten times better than the show.

I'm enjoying it so far, i can feel myself getting attached to some of the characters already and i'm only 10% in according to the Kindle.

-and in that moment, i was infinate.

Dark Secret by Christine Feehan. LOVE this series.

The moon so bright shows me the way
Deep in the graveyard beside her I lay
Knowing she'll keep me safe from all harms
Though six feet apart, I lay in her arms...
