Finished The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. It meandered a bit for me towards the end, and didn't seem quite as funny, but it was good enough to check out more in the Discworld series. :)

 

I just started One For The Money by Janet Evanovich, and I am not impressed so far. I get all the New Jersey jokes, because I was raised there, but the humor is very low-brow and not to my taste. This may turn out to be one of those rare books that I will not finish. I will read at least 100 pages, though.

Although I liked this one well enough, I don't consider it one of his best, so if you enjoyed it, you are in for a right treat with the others! :irked:

That's a gorgeous copy of Dorian, Nollaig. :)

 

I felt so guilty! The guy behind the counter was like, 'it's a stunning edition isn't it?' and I said, 'Yup, and I shouldn't be buying it because I have the book but it's too pretty to resist!'

 

I needed a new hardback reading copy anyway, my Norton isn't something I'd want to heft around with me, my 1925 is partically in a glass case and my leatherbound one stays in it's box.

I finished After the Quake, by Haruki Murakami this evening - a wonderful piece of writing.

 

Murakami is fast becoming my favourite author.

 

Glad to hear this, as have this months reading circle book arriving in the next few days. Might have to make it my next book to read.
