I've picked up the habit of reading more than one book, due in part to all the reading assignments in Honors/AP English courses. xP

While I'm reading Macbeth for English class, I'm rereading Battle Royale for enjoyment.

I just bought the Millennium series, so we'll see how that one goes soon enough.
 
Unfortunately no personal reading, it's all for class. I have The Sound and the Fury, Macbeth, Othello, and I just finished Osama for science fiction literature.

I actually enjoyed Osama, good book.

2312 by Kim Stanley. Her prose jumps around a lot and makes it hard to follow, but I haven't finished many sci-fi books recently. I spent ten pages thinking midgets were a type of alien because of her weird style of introducing future culture and new people, and I'm still not 100% sure I've got this right. But an alien police officer wouldn't have a ponytail... right? So a "little", despite the "looking up at them like a langur or marmoset", must be a human...

I'm also in the middle of Jamie McGuire's Red Hill, but I don't like this one, either. The author has the unique talent of accomplishing nothing, not even character development or a good fight scene, in five chapters with at least six main characters during the zombie apocalypse.

Lot of weird stuff on bestseller lists these days that isn't 50 Shades. Lem's Solaris was the last enjoyable book I read--and it's from the 60's.

Have been reading these - just finished Red Dragon and have the most recent one to go

Red Dragon was the best, IMO, and is actually my favorite novel. The rest decline in both quality and entertainment value from there. Eeeeeever so slightly with TSOL, much more so with Hannibal, and then falls completely off the cliff with Hannibal Rising.

The Broken Eye by Brent Weeks, third in the Lightbringer trilogy. Why are collections like this one called trilogies when there are more than 3 books? I swear I'm always seeing series of 4 books being called trilogies.

The Wine-Dark Sea by Robert Aikman. Thought I would try something a little different and this has proven to be rather good. A collection of what the author discribes as strange stories. I had been reading Dante's Inferno, but with my insomnia draining me I didn't finish it. Now that's it's settled I'll get into that shortly.
