Reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Last couple of weeks I read Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll and Trading Up by Candace Bushnell. Anyway not reading a lot since I found the wonderful world of knitting!

I needed something really light so I've started Trading Up by Candace Bushnell...

just started Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Finished Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and started yesterday Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (a lovely v-day present from my lovely boyfriend!). Don't know if I'll read much next couple of days, since we're going to Scotland...

Currently reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. My plan is to finish it today and start Anne Rice´s Complete Vampire Chronicles. Let´s see what happens...

Just finished The amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Must confess it was a bit of a struggle at some point, but I did it and am really happy that I kept reading it.

Just started The amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

Just finished Dracula, by Bram Stoker. It was probably the wrong time to read it, but I don't really like to give up on books so... anyway, what's done is done so moving on to the next book... I have a big TBR pile this year! I felt the same when started to read Haruki Murakami's books. But even if it is hard to read, I would definitely recommend this author. I was well-impressed with Kafka on the Shore...

thanks Genevieve

I like most of the writers you mentioned! My favourite is Eça... well, I am portuguese and that may explain a lot! Wellcome. I'm sure you will enjoy this forum!

Well done frankie!

I would love to say that I love the classics just like that but I'm afraid I wouldn't be totally honest. I do love some classics but, for some reason, it seems that for some others it's still not the right time for me to read them. Yes, even though I'm in my thirties (unbelievable... still feel like a teen! ) I think that somehow books choose us and when the moment is right we end up reading the right book... sounds really silly, I know...

Hello and welcome! This is a great place and I'm sure you will enjoy a lot around here. Don't worry to much about the reading mojo. Or just remember Daniel Pennac and our 10 inalienable rights: 1.The right to not read, 2.The right to skip pages, 3.The right to not finish a book, 4.The right to reread, 5.The right to read anything, 6.The right to "Bovary-ism," a textually-transmitted disease, 7.The right to read anywhere, 8.The right to sample and steal ("grappiller") 9.The right to read out-loud, and, 10.The right to be silent.
