Thread: What book(s) are you currently reading?

I'm about half way through Wide Sargasso Sea which is a prequel to Jane Eyre . It's written by Jean Rhys. It's okay so far, but I'm still waiting for the interesting part where she Bertha meets Rochester. Like Jane, in her novel, Bertha is given her own bildungsroman in this novel, so I have only read about her growing up so far. It's only a short book, 150 pages max, so it's just a quick read whilst I am still...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Reasons are obvious.

Eee, collected short stories by Kafka

I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee for the first time, and I have to admit that I'm a little surprised as to how much I'm enjoying it. I'm not really sure as to what I was expecting and I'm glad that I finally got around to reading it.

I've just started Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

At the moment, I'm reading In The Woods by Tana French. I didn't have high hopes for it, to be honest; set in Ireland, and with the tagline "Murder brings back memories", but I've really warmed to the main characters, and the plot is actually going at a really good pace (for a "murder mystery"). It's a good read so far, and I'm pretty much absorbed into the story.

Currently finishing "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley and still half-a-way of "The Shining" by Stephen King!

I'm reading On Some Faraway Beach , a biography of Brian Eno. It's interesting in places, especially his work with the likes of Talking Heads. Though describing his own music verbally is difficult, I suspect I'd be better off listening to some of his records at some point to get more understanding of what the book is talking about in places.
