I’m starting to read wonder by R. J. Palacio
So What Are You Reading?
- Thread starter primandimproper
- Start date
Mostly boring literature handbooks for uni classes... Also gonna go thru Waiting for Godot again because my teacher sucks :^) She really does and I don't mind reading the actual literature but she really steers this thing to the wrong bend...

I try to read one book a day ! If too busy, I try to read around 200-300 pages. When I was in HS, I went through a "classics" phase, but never finished some of the ones I obtained. 
So, finishing those now before I start buying more. Today's is: Catch-22.
Oh and I usually read one light read or children's book with my gf for fun, but since school has resumed we've been too busy. We stopped midway through The Tale of Despereaux, which is one of my all time favorites already !! Wish I had grown up with it !

The Traitor Prince by C.J. Redwine.
I like Redwine's fantasy elements and world building, and her villains have so much depth to them just like the heroes, but I can't stand the "romantic" sections... And sadly, it feels like she ends her stories too abruptly, almost like she'd given herself a page limit when she started and then realized that she only had 20 pages left she could use. I'm hoping this one will be different in that regard...

Six of Crows, I've never been a big fan of YA/Teen novels, but I picked it up since a friend recommended it to me and I'm really liking it so far.

Personally, I loved that one, great choice!

Re-reading The Hobbit and then I'm going to try to read Lord of the Rings. Hopefully The Silmarillion after that.

Nothing currently (I'm angry at the author of the last book I read, and have refused to read any more of her work unless her skill improves. She failed me three times in a row, so she's out)
Any of you guys have good suggestions? Preferably with no romance at all...

I just got Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov at Barnes & Noble today.
"Mariquita - Revisited."
I wanted to read the original edition but it's only available at the library (used copies on Amazon are crazy expensive since it's out of print). So happy they released a revised version; I know this book is going to have a huge impact on me. It's such a culturally significant novel.

Just read Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. Very good book and I will definitely be taking some of the book's recommendations to heart.

I just finished reading "And Another Thing..." by Eoin Colfer. I'm glad it was a library book, because I didn't really care for it and would not have wanted to keep it.
Right now, I am reading "The Blythes Are Quoted" by L.M. Montgomery and just borrowed "Geisha: A Life" by Mineko Iwasaki. I'm looking forward to reading that.

Started reading The Rational Optimist. It’s good so far. Makes it hard to view the world in a negative light when you can see all the progress that has been made in the past 200 years.
