the iron dream by adolf hitler aka norman spinrad

Read "The Lonely Londoners" by Sam Selvon, it was a weird combination of hilarity and an undercurrent of sadness and alienation. The characters were excellent and the whole thing gelled together quite nicely. Sometimes the creole style of the prose could be a bit jarring, particularly the passage where for some reason punctuation is eschewed all together but overall it added a lot more than it took away in terms of atmosphere.

I'm currently reading "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan and shall return to Dante at some point.

Read "A Clockwork Orange", it was extremely good. I might do a proper review of it if I get time but I'm pretty tied up with learning to drive, writing and still finding time to read.

I liked A Clockwork Orange surprisingly a lot.

Currently I'm reading Vanity Fair and The Lost Fortune of the Russian Tsars. Kind of liking Vanity Fair finding the the characters less off putting than I thought I would.

Reading another Fever Devilin book by Phillip DePoy. I seem to be reading them in reverse order, but that's working out fine. Really enjoying his writing! It's easy to get absorbed in the setting and characters.

I've been so slow at reading lately(I don't mean my reading speed has decreased but I just haven't been getting any time to read)that I'm only on page 104 of The Secret Circle which I started almost a week ago.

I'm currently halfway through "The Wayward Bus" by John Steinbeck. It's excellent so far.

Reading Fool Moon (2nd Harry Dresden book) by Jim Butcher - thanks again Bouncy!

First one was pretty good so hope it keeps up

I'm reading and really enjoying an English translation of a German book called 'Felidae' by Akif Pirincci. It's a murder mystery with a cat as the detective and cats as the victims. I would heartily recommend this to anyone who likes murder mysteries, especially if they like cats as well - although, beware - it's very gruesome in parts.

 

[ShadowNinjaCat]

Must put that on my list.

Oh, I'm glad you are enjoying them. Don't forget to pass them onto your sister, or anyone else who wants to read them.
