just finished faraday sisters.   i really enjoyed it (but is it a story about 5 sisters and i too have 5 sisters- may have had something to do with it)
If you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I have to read The Loop by Nicholas Evans for Book Club. I don't want to! I hate Nicholas Evans! I want to read something good!  >:(

currently rereading Persuasion.  It's my favorite Jane Austen.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

I have it but I need to get around to reading Persuasion...

Currently reading Fanny Hill by John Cleland.  (Can you think of a worse title?)   ;)

The wonderfully boring "Life in the UK" test booklet...you might have heard of it, it was published by the home office.

There was a TV adaptation of that last year. Oh, the 80s.

Since finishing Purple Hibiscus, I am hoping to borrow a classmate's copy of Half of a Yellow Sun, both by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Just finished Quicksilver, by Neal Stephenson.  I don't recommend it.  At all.
