I'm reading several books at them moment, but the two I'm enjoying the most are Brave New World, and Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist.

Just finished reading Starship Troopers. Pretty good book, would deinetley recommend.
Right now I'm read the "The Truth Machine," by James L Halpern |
"The Outsiders." I also just got through with "Slob."

Reading The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun by Tolkien. It's an adaptation of the Volsung Saga, which is an old Norse legend, done in an old form of Norse poetry. A bit hard to get used to at first, but epic and badass when you do. Sigurd may be more familiar as Siegfried, which is his name in the old Germanic legends.
Edit: Though I have to say, as much as I love Christopher Tolkien for putting so much of his father's work out there, the man can write some of the most obtuse and confusing sentences I've ever read. Of course, his introductions and explanations of Nordic poetry and how they should be read are important and shouldn't be skipped, but good lord how they drag on. Thankfully, once you get past them and on to his fathers actual poems, it's all good. |

Stardust - Neil Gaiman. I saw Dayna gave this 5 stars on Goodreads, and when I mentioned reading it to my book club, they were all pretty enthusiastic about it (it was my turn to pick the book). Probably start it tonight! |
Tell me what you thought when you're done, please!

Bought this in a used book store in Nashville (best used book store I've ever been to, books were two deep in the shelves, and there were little nooks and crannies filled with books everywhere!). It's as great as I've heard it is. |

Lol no seriously it's soooo good even though it's rather predictable |

This is a book my profess of Women in Literature class asked us to read (3 years ago). I invented everything I said in class participation and wrote a completely BULLSH*T essay about it...because I seriously did not open the book. Now that I've read every single book in English that I have in Turkey, this was the only thing left on the shelf. |
