Cool! My BF lent it to me and he loved it as well. I just started it and it's good so far! I'll be sure to post the update when I finish!

My GRE vocabulary book.

*sigh*

I'm 95% sure I'll be attending graduate school in the UK, but on the off-chance I decide to attend in the states, I have to spend four hours of my life in this ungodly test.  :-\\\\

I started reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon today.  So far, it's a great & entertaining read!

Northanger Abbey... Jane Austen
It's required reading for me not reading for pleasure however I'm surprised I don't hate it.

Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins - for the umpteenth time.  Love his stuff.  Sad, though, that the political situation in the Middle East that he wrote about over a decade ago is still pretty much the same... :-\\\\

I am reading a book called "Cuba Diaries"  It is written by the American wife of a foreign energey consultant posted in Cuba during the "Special Period" in the early and mid 90s.  I fiind it to be a great read and I particularly like it because I can relate and because it's a new and different perspective to something I miyself lived.  If that makes any sense.

Just one at a time! But I've had a few long train journeys lately, so I can easily zip through a couple at one sitting.

So far this week, Blaze (by S. king), First Among Sequels (by Jasper FForde) and now Harry Potter, of course.  Like everyone else in the entire known universe.

I've just started Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle.  But if DH comes back home with the new Harry Potter, I'm afraid poor Paddy is going to get tossed to one side!
