Started Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve on Sunday night and read half of it by the end of Monday, but I didn't read it at all yesterday because I was feeling ill from an accidental caffeine overdose. I'm going to read today after I'm done being on the Internet.

The book Stora döden ("the Great Death") by the Swedish historian Dick Harrison. Details the events and effects of the Black Death, especially in Scandinavia.

Recently finished Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. Absolutely fantastic book.

I have this on my shelf. At the moment I'm reading Dombey and Son however. Do you have a favorite by Dickens?

Same here. I've read A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, Bleak House, and Our Mutual Friend, and I enjoyed Bleak House most of all.

Ulysses. I'm only a few pages in, but I can tell I'm going to worship this book.
