Right now i'm reading a book called Linger!
It is the second in a trio of books that go in the order of Shiver/Linger/Forever
It is like a supernaturally romance type of book and it is very happy and very sad mores sad atm but still good xP

"Next" by Michael Crichton
I am reading Marked by P.C. and Kristen Cast. So far I don't like it.

Sparkly Fairy

Trio of Sorcery by Mercedes Lackey. Almost finished!
I'm reading "Frost" by Marianna Baer, and I'm extremely impressed by this debut author's style and voice. Baer understands a thing or three about emotion and atmosephere.

You have my sympathies, i thought that book was so boring. Not a big fan of Gaskell.

I'm about halfway through One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Another boring book, the storyline just seems to drag on and on.

Hah, I'm actually sort of enjoying it! At least, a lot more than I enjoyed Hard Times, the last book we read in there. North and South is a lot less preachy and has much more rounded characters, imo, but I'm only halfway through it. And of course, I'm not the biggest fan of Victorian lit so I'm not finding the most exciting thing out there, but I know there were worse choices.

I congratulate you on that, i lost interest so quickly, guess she's just not my type of author. I agree Hard Times was terrible, which is a shame considering that most of Dicken's stuff is wonderful. Really? I love Victorian literature. Do you have to read certain books, choose some from a list or can you read anything at all?
