About a quarter of the way through Wool by Hugh Howey. Started out as self published but now signed to century and seemingly with a film on the way. Its quite good so far. Characters are well drawn and it reminds me of Philip K Dicks The Penultimate Truth.

Currently reading 5 books. One I have to read, but I still return to the other ones, since the one I have to read is boring.
Tolkien - The Hobbit
(I was in a bookstore and read the beginning of the book, then went home and saw in Supernatural a girl reading the same part and the next day found the book in the library, it was the first day I saw it there, yay :laugh: )
Pratchett - Snuff
Cassandra Clare Mortal Instruments series - City of Glass
(Had seen the book in the bookstore and didn't care for it too much, then saw the trailer and had to read it.

Actually, I saw the trailer for the first book, City of Bones, I'm reading now the third one.) I like the world she has created.
Peter V. Brett - The Desert Spear
Mats Traat - Tants aurukatla ümber
It's an home assignment and it's about ordinary life.

^^ 5 books at once, you don't muck about do ya? I like the way you do things!

I'm not likely to read the 50 Shades book but I am a hopeless Mr Darcy fan. My friend gave me a book to read, it's title; 50 Shades of Mr Darcy. I shall share the first sentence with you,

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good riding crop must be in want of bare buttocks to thrash.

Deary, deary me.

I was hoping to correct that. It's 6 books. I knew I forgot something, just didn't know what it was.

I don`t read them like Nero Wolf does. The books are just in different places. One is in the computer. One I go and sit and read in the library. And the compulsory one I don`t want to read so much.
I quess that the compulsory one is going to be the last one I finish. :laugh:

I just finished reading The Black House by Peter May. Kind of slow going, but a good mystery. Set on one of the Hebrides islands. Huge bonus points to the author for putting the Gaelic pronunciations in the front of the book! :laugh:

I've started reading The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern. I love her books! This one is good so far too.
