What Book Are You Reading? (The Fifth [Banana] Split)

[Xil]

Heart of Darkness by J. Conrad.

[SpiraLethe]

Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov. I started reading it at a friends house and I'm so engrossed by the gorgeous prose that I need to go out and buy my own copy so I can finish it. I've been meaning to read it for quite some time, anyway.

[.:Requiem:.]

Dont. Just...don't.

Why?

Did you not like it? I have heard from many people that they loved it. Then, I have heard from many people that they don't care for them.

Hated them with a passion. Actually, I hated Eragon with a passion and was too disgusted by it to read Eldest.

Now reading Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card. I don't like him, but it's for English.

Currently trudging through Japanese Women: Constraint and Fulfillment by Takie Sugiyama Lebra. It'll take awhile, as it's an academic piece, so very, very dry. Plus, I haven't been on much of a reading kick either. Thew views on the subject matter are going to be quite dated, given that the actual research was done in the late '70s, early '80s, but it should still be an interesting read on Japanese culture.

"The Harvest".

Really should think about reading actual books instead of fanfiction and novelizations. ;P

Cross Bones - kathy Reichs

Not as good as her other books so far, I get lost in the rambling detail of some of the stuff, makes me sleepy

[Wind]

The catcher in the rye, Salinger.
I'm tired of reading book summaries in my english class instead than the actual stuff. I like it.

After this, I don't know what I could read.

Heart of Darkness by J. Conrad.

I'm meant to be reading that over the holidays.

How hard did you find it? Apparently it's about as difficult to read as Turn of the Screw >.>

You will be asleep after the first page. Urgh

I'm assuming you're reading The Secret Sharer too? That wasn't much better. The upside is that both are Novellas, real short.

Nope.. not reading The Secret Sharer. The major texts we're doing are that one, King Lear, and The Great Gatsby. There's about 4 others that I don't remember, though.

And for English it's Border Crossing, View from a Bridge, and Lantana (DVD).

Weird. My major texts were Othello, The Great Gatsby & Heart of Darkness.

Just finished Gatsby last week. Not too interesting either.

[Lillie]

Just finished The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I'm readng a mixture of A People's Tragedy, Metamorphosis & Other Stories, Introduction to Ethics, and whatever that other book is.

[Xil]

Julius Caesar by Shakespeare.

*Yawn*

[Caesara]

I share your boredom, Dan--I have to read Macbeth.

[pokemew233]

And right now I'm reading Hamlet...strange coincidence, eh? Or just evil english teachers?
