Just started Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles.  It's my first Agatha Christie and I am loving it so far!

Finished reading William Boyd's Ordinary Thunderstorms - very good.  Next up is The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson.

I'm reading three books at the moment. I have a book for different occasions. xD

I'm reading: Palm Sunday / Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a collection of his short stories, essays, and autobiography. Kurt Vonnegut is my absolute favorite author.

Also working on Secret Affairs: Britain's Collusion with Radical Islam by Mark Curtis. I think the title speaks for the book.

And, the third, The Hidden Reality (Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. Greene is a physics and mathematics professor at Columbia University. The book is about the possibility of multiple universes. I saw him on the Colbert Report, and I was so fascinated by his passion for physics along with this subject. I think it's amazing how we can use mathematics to discover and prove things about the world and universe. :)

Finished this yesterday and I really enjoyed it.  Now I'm onto Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers.  I really just can't stop reading mysteries right now!  :)

Sayers is one of my favourites! If you're in a mystery mood, try Josephine Tey. I think she's the best.

Yesterday I finished reading The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson.  This book is the second in a trilogy.  It was so exciting especially during the ending chapters that I had to take a rest every now and then.  I went right into the third book, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.  It's a bit more restful as the author lays the ground work.  I know it will kick up as soon as the foundation is in place. Very good reads!

I've done a bit of train travel over the past few days, so got lots of reading in! I read Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson, The Winds of Heaven by Monica Dickens and Henrietta Sees It Through by Joyce Dennis. Now I'm reading Tamara Drewe by the wonderful Posy Simmonds.
