books I've read recently: Jeffrey Archer's "a matter of honour". I really like how he writes his stuff.

books I'm READING: dostoyevsky's "crime and punishment". I'm still figuring out why this book isn't part of the nation's literature syllabus.

I started reading Angels and Demons after I finished The DaVinci Code, but couldn't really get into it that much. I stopped reading it where they had just found the first Cardinal, but I put it down and haven't picked it up since :undecide:

i'm currently reading wicked and have not yet gotten into it. but my friend keeps telling me that it gets better. i hope she is right!

most of my reading time is taken up by readings for courses - which are, in fact, more often than not, more interesting than the books i read for fun. But then again, i am a film student :D

I am in the middle of Gone With The Wind. Great book. Irony that during the American Civil War the Democrats were in support of slavery and white power while the Republicans were the nigger lovers.
A hundred and someting years really changes things...

I'm past halfway reading Fyodor Dostoyevski's "Crime and punishment". A little too long for my taste and a little all over the place but still the best book I've read in a long, long time.

Gone With The Wind, hmm..I wonder if the novel is better than the movie. My granma loves that movie very much. :)
Far better...

I just finished it. Great book. I recommend it for all.

A decent starting point. Won't change your life but it will give you new perspectives.
