A brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It's fun comparing it to 1984, both books are about negative utopias, but the way they enslave the people is radicaly diferent.

I love to start books, but I kind of have some issues finishing them! I'm currently in the middle of a few books, they are: The tribine, Tricksters Queen, The Death of Napoleon, and War and Peace(kinda!)

I started War and Peace a while ago. Too bad I left it at school.

I just finished reading, The Bartimeus Trilogy, Book #2. It's a really good book, the first one is good too.

The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket.
It's pretty good, although in Count Olaf's laughing scene it seems like Daniel was writing it as though it was in a movie and not in a book. Who would seriously say something like "tee hee toenails" in a regular book? XD

I got that book for my dad for his birthday XDD I read it, but it was a while ago, so I can't quite remember it properly. It was good though, I found ^_^

The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I'm about halfway through, very good so far...probably not a book I would have chosen to buy myself, but good. (I've been too lazy to go into town, and have instead been reading books Stu bought. =P)

I just (started and) finished reading The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald on Sunday. It was a little boring at first, but then it got better.
And now, I finally started reading The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, after it's been stting on my desk since the summer, waiting for me to read it.

Heart's Blood, by Jane Yolen. sad ending. *frowns* but I have the next book to read and it also had an intriguing ending, sooo..we'll see.

I'm reading Lolita by Victor Nabokov. I just started it today, so I haven't formed an opinion about it, but the way it's narrated and written is so weird!

Shadow of the Hegemon...it's back to rereading books for me. I have £15 for amazon, but I don't have any books I really want, and I've been forbidden to buy the one that's been recommended to me. ::glares at Igg:: =P

I own a copy, and have been reading it on and off for nearly 4 years without finishing it. It is far and away the book that most requires effort to read, that I have ever seen. And Ive seen some doozies
I think its all the unpronouncable Russian names that keep throwing me.
Good luck.
Oh, and Im reading A Brief History of the Future by John Naughton. Its about how the Internet came to be. Very interesting.

Ah. Now I'm rereading Dark Lord of Derkholm, which is really confusing the first time you read it but after you read it and Year of the Griffin, when you come back and read it again it's much easier.
