Fingersmith is fascinating. The protagonists are just... I'm so impressed Sarah Waters got that to work - enabled the reader to hook into and empathize with those two despite their... flaws.

I'm currently reading 419 by Will Ferguson. Also, I'm reading Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Cats Have No Lord by Will Shetterly.

It comes from an old box of books that was passed to me and I thought I would give it a try because I can do bland fantasy but it is turning out kind of painful  :-\

I am slowly making my way through A Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin

The A Song of Ice and Fire series has been, hands down, one of my favorite book series so far.

I'm halfway through Cloud Atlas and had to postpone a date to see it last weekend until I finish the book first.  So far, it's quite good.

'Oh Rare Amanda', it's about Amanda McKitterick Ros, quite possibly the worst novelist who ever wrote.

Lyric

My current little room reading is Picasso: Creator and Destroyer, written by Arianna Huffington back in the '80s. It's really thick and I'm only like 100 pages along, so this will be awhile at 2-3 pages per trip. You get a pretty good feel for the artistic environment of the Paris art scene in the early 20th century, though.

As an artist to some degree myself, I dig this sort of thing. Once of my fav movies is Henry and June, about writers in Paris in '30s-- a very sexy flick BTW.

I'm reading kinda on/off the book "Mad Manners" by the hosts - Tuomas Milonoff and Riku Rantala - of a Finnish travel program Madventures.
Tells about manners and etiquettes around the world, pretty useful for a Finn. :D
