Dipping into another book without finishing the others. Awful habit.

Em And The Big Hoom - By Jerry Pinto

They were raving about it on twitter, so I blindly bought it. It's a very emotional book.

Never Go Back, the most recent novel in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

I finished Never Go Back yesterday and today, I began reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is by the same writer who wrote The Kite Runner.

"Crime and Punishment" Dostoyevsky. I should've read this book years ago, it's been at the top of my TBR list for such a long time.

I've read both A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, will be interested to hear which one you liked better!

Picking up John Carter on Blu-ray got me wanting to revisit at least one of the books. This edition has the first three. I'm halfway through the first one now.

I borrowed this book from a teacher late last school year and I have yet to return it. Oopsie.

The Clergyman's Daughter by George Orwell

Ever since I finished 1984, I've had a compulsion to read everything by Orwell. His direct writing style is refreshing.

I read that forty years ago; it was a good book. I read it again recently in the original French too, still entertaining. I think I preferred 20,000 leagues under the sea though. Around the world in 80 days wasn't bad either.

I've read 20k as well and I though it was amazing though it did take me a while to read. I especially liked the ending. Was also surprised as to what had been left out of the 1954 Disney film version, I mean, how could they cut out the part about Atlantis?
