Seeds of Yesterday by Virgina Andrews. This book is so mental but I love it.

I've just read The Man in the Black Suit by Stephen King. That's the only story that's scared me in a long time.
Edit: I'm so embarrassed about posting that in Frank's topic. I looked like a complete randomer.

Currently reading The Waves, by Virginia Woolf, recommended to me by a wonderful man I know. It's delightfully dense and is far more centred on form than content, and that's how I like it.

I'm juggling three books at the minute. Oh how I love being an English student :) North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare and many, many of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories.

^ I say, this is an awesome selection. I love Elizabeth Gaskell, all her novels are so sweet and Victorian.

Yesss, I am really enjoying North and South. I'm gonna have a look at Gaskell's other novels when I have enough time to read books which are not part of my course. Also, I noticed Capulet is reading The Book Thief. ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! I love it so much.

Right now I'm reading Candor by Pam Bachorz. I'm not really impressed, but I suppose I'll finish.
Also, I'm reading Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town by Cory Doctorow. It's far better, in that odd, Sci-Fi-ish style of his.
I just put down Diana Peterfreund's Rampant. And for a book about killer unicorns, and unicorn hunters, it was a supprisingly good read.
(I honestly can't belive I just typed that last part.)

I have a ridiculous schoolgirl crush on Byron. And on Swinburne. And Wilde. Ahhhhhh.

^^ At least it's not the Iliad. The Odyssey is so much easier to read - we all wrote essays on the Iliad about a year ago, and as far as I know no-one actually finished the book. We were all totally dependant on secondary sources for our references!
Barely reading anything due to workload, but am reading The Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme (just thrilling) and The Golden Ass by Apuleius. The latter is kind of hilarious. When the protagonist is changed into an ass, his first thought it: 'Wow my dick is HUGE now!'
