Now Reading... (or Recently Finished)

[Shade Everdark]

I've been reading Bullfinch's Mythology, and while most of the Greek myths were familiar to me, in at least a back-of-the-mind sort of way, I'm finding the stories of Charlemaigne quite enthralling.

Ancient Evenings-Norman Mailer

[pixiefae]

I'm now reading "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" by J. Maarten Troost. Quite humorous actually.

Just finished "Killing Molly" by Eric Novak. LOVED IT!

Pride of Carthage by David Anthony Durham

Just finished "Watchers" by Dean Koontz

[Paper Hearts]

I'm reading a book called 'Porno' (insert cheap ones in this gash I've left for you) by Irvine Welsh and also 'To The Lighthouse', Virgina Woolf. Porno was a gift from a freind, it's the sequel to Trainspotting-if you haven't read Trainspotting then maybe you've seen the movie (Danny Boyle, GB, 1996)...To The Lighthouse is of course the famous 20th century masterpiece. It's a very sobering book, sort of a survey of the emotional density that so seperates us all; the charachters and story seem only a means to that end. -Good reads.

Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad

"This immortal novel of the sea is the story of a British sailor haunted by a single youthful act of cowardly betrayal. To the white men in Bombay, Calcutta and Rangoon, Jim is a man of mystery. To the primitive natives deep in the Malayan jungle, he is a god, gifted with supernatural powers. To the beautiful half-caste girl who flees to his hut for protection, he is a lord to be feared and loved."

"Lord Jim - Conrad's classic portrait of a man's guilt, his search for forgiveness, and his final, tragic redemption - is a work of enduring value, one of the world's great masterpieces."

I just started it, bought it for a penny at the library.

I absolutely love sea-story novels. Master and Commander, Lord Ramage, Horatio Hornblower.. anything along those lines.
