Just finished but "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.
And now I'm half-way through "Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood. I read her previous work "Oryx and Crake" and absolutely loved it. As well as "The Handmaids Tale".

If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
But why bounce around to the same damn song?

Re: The 'What are you reading at the moment' thread
Given the current circumstances (foreign literature exam is looming!) I just have to. Actually, I am a pretty fast reader as it is, but right now the speed of my reading has increased dramatically. The level of speed is multiplied by the level of interest a book presents to me, too.Avron the S'wit wrote:Norroen, how the heck do you read books so fast?!
I started reading Windows on the World by Frederic Beigbeder; judging from the way it begins, it's going to be really fascinating.

The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher ~ Kate Summerscale
I don't read many crime books, but this one looked quite straight forward and adequately gruesome, and is also based on real events that happened not far from where I live, but in the Victorian era. I'm just kinda skimming through easy reads whilst I wait for the next Dark Tower book, The Wind Through The Keyhole.

Re: The 'What are you reading at the moment' thread
I'm simultaneously reading The Two Towers (author should be obvious enough) and a Ciaphas Cain novel from the Warhammer 40,000 setting at the same time. I have a few others on my to-read list, including Dune (might audiobook the sequels), Watership Down and The Lost Symbol (strictly as a guilty pleasure- I understand Dan Brown gets a lot of hate).
This is a signature.
