Latest book purchase

We'll see if I can read this one...

^ Good luck.. though I'm sure it's one of those books that are far better than their film adaptations.

Felt like getting back to French reading:

Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry

Le roi se meurt by Eugene Ionesco

Then felt like nerding-up, with some good old Greek tragedies (I read those in French usually)

The complete works of Eschyle
The complete works of Sophocle
The complete works of Euripide

£3- bargain. Still have 3 books on the go, so it may be a while before I get around to this.

Do you buy books faster than you can read them too? It's like an addiction. I can't walk by a book store without going in and buying something!

Here are my latest purchases:

I like to take advantage of bargains tis all and I will watch or read most things musical when I get the chance so too good to resist. I do miss reading though due to my job

What's that? Looks entertaining.

It's a comic book. I'm not a huge comic nerd but this was really good, and the art work was very well done. I'd recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance, even if you're not into graphic novels.

Ohhh

I just can't do comic books even casually. They don't engage me.

Well, it was given to me anyway. It's occurred to me recently that I have virtually nothing to do for about the next 9 weeks, so I'm gonna challenge myself to read this from cover to cover in the mean time.

Bought this last December:

Haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Because of the recent BBC TV series set in the present day I decided to check out the original article.....

All 4 novels & 56 Short stories... everything ever written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in one handy volume.

Should keep me busy for a while.
