Hey, I read that book and liked it.

I'm reading:

Well, okay, I haven't started it yet. I've only read the first page so far. I've been too TIRED to get going on a novel. But it's the book sitting on my nightstand waiting to be read. And, when I randomly flipped through it and stopped on a page, there was some shit about some chick being handcuffed, so I think it might be worth reading.

Really good, I think it would be better if I'd gone into it with no idea about the topics it's about, though.

Some notes on Corpus Linguistics.

 

[JoanOfArc]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I'm being forced. However, I hate it less than Catcher in the Rye.

Is it any good?

 

[Hidden By Rags]

Nick Hornby's Juliet, Naked. I can't put this book down and I'm not nearly halfway done with it. It also has a strong reference for obsessed forumites, ha.

 

[Happy Maudlin]

I'm reading the Hours by Michael Cunningham.

Beautiful prose in the book.

 

[MindlessRuffian]

Is it any good?

I finished it and I'd call it a pretty good book. It's a quick read and it makes you think a bit, which is alright. The constant Smiths references pissed me off.

The End of The Affair - Graham Greene

 

[_Rona_]

The End of The Affair - Graham Greene

How do you like it? I read Brighton Rock and enjoyed it very much but when I tried reading another one of his novels (I have forgotten the title) it moved too slowly.

I'm really enjoying it, it's the first one I have read. I'm going to try to pick up Brighton Rock somewhere.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

ok, the very reading of this book by me has a story to it, maybe better than the book itself

Scoop by Evelyn Waugh

One of those books I've been meaning to read for ages and I'm very glad I am. Laugh out loud funny. A satire of sensationalist journalism and foreign correspondence.

(wikipedia)

William Boot, a young man who lives in genteel poverty far from the iniquities of London, writes a nature column for a national newspaper. He is dragooned into becoming a foreign correspondent when the editors of the aptly named Daily Beast mistake him for a novelist who shares his surname. He is sent to the fictional African state of Ishmaelia where a civil war threatens to break out. There, despite his total ineptitude, he accidentally manages to get the "scoop" of the title. .
