I just finished The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.

Finally got to the end of life of Johnson - been reading Goldsmith's various essay sequences and loving them, Sterne's Sentimental Journey, which was okay and now on An essay on the art of ingeniously tormenting - which has a bit too much bite for me - crosses over satire into nasty.

I'm at the moment switching between multiple books, and will probably never finish any of them.

Naked Lunch, which is holding my interest, but I have no idea what is going on.
Hitch-22, which is starting to lose my interest.
The girl with the dragon Tattoo, Which is pretty good.
The Gun Seller, a book by Hugh Laurie, which is very funny I must say.

Still trying to get through 'Eat,Pray,Love' , by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's not bad, but I used to be able to read anything with words in a line, but lately just can't get into it at all.

Just finished 'Worth dying for' by Lee Childs. Good fun but that's all.

Been given a nice cook book. "Maggie's Harvest" by Maggie Beer, probably not known outside of Australia.

M or F?

a sort-of 'teen novel' :P

"Frannie is desperate to get the attention of her crush, Jeffrey, but too shy to make a move. Frannie's gay best friend, Marcus, advises her to get the ball rolling by chatting with Jeffrey online, but Frannie won't type a word. Marcus takes over at the keyboard, and soon his plan is a success! But the more he chats, the more it seems Jeffrey is falling for Marcus, not Frannie. Whose romance is this, anyway?"

Raven

Different Loving: The World of Sexual Dominance and Submission by Gloria G. Brame, William D. Brame, and Jon Jacobs. So it is incredibly boreing, but educational in all respects.

Secrets - Mills and Boob Spoltlight slushy romance.  Couple meet on plane to romantic holiday and fall head over heels. Silly guy doesn't tell her he is widowed with 4 year old twins.  I need to read next chapter to find out how he tells and her reaction.

The Crow.  Or rather, I just finished it.  I've owned it FOREVER, but had never actually read it.  It was AWESOME.
If curiosity really killed the cat, I'd already be dead. :laugh:

Watch the Swedish films of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series they are awesome. I seriously doubt that the Hollywood version will get close.

Unfortunately, I've been stuck reading the GMAT prep guide for the last week, and will continue to be reading it until I take the exam! Terrible reading!
