What are you currently reading?

I enjoyed it, but I can't see myself ever giving it a second read. There isn't that much subtlety to miss, and it wasn't that amazingly written. It seems that I enjoyed the book mostly because of the tension of not knowing where it was going, and of the underlying symbolism and ideas presented.

 

sick book, man. have you read homage to catalonia or down and out in paris and london? gotta love Orwell.

currently reading Hawksmoor- Peter Ackroyd, and lovin' it.

 

Hello,

just started Among the Bohemians written by Virginia Nicholson. I skimmed over the pictures and drawings in the book. It promises to be an interesting read.
