The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.

It's a lot more absorbing than most classical novels I've come across.

It was a birthday present.

My SO took The Art of Eating from me (I let her read it as she is much faster at reading than I am) so I have now started Lazy B (Sandra Day O'Connor and H. Alan Day).

Syne

I am currently on the third book of the Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. The third book is called `Starman` and is moving along the mythos quite nicely.

For those who have never read it is a fantasy book set in a land where there are various races. However, a thousand years ago the human race went to war with the others when the religion of Artor and the plough came about. Forests were destroyed along with any who got in the way.

Now an ancient prophesy walks the land and tells of the Starman who will reunite the races and possibly bring down a big bad from the northern region that seeks to destroy all in his path.

Magics of various kinds, lots of politics, turmoil, religion.... a full plate of items and all dealt with quite nicely.

I'm being childish and reading 'Toilet Of Doom' by Michael Lawrence.  :D It is actually about gender-switching as well, so it's not just an enjoyable read, it's topical here too!
Next I'm considering rereading 'My Family And Other Animals by Gerald Durrel. I wish my childhood was that cool.  ;D

Most of you will recoil in horror but...oh well...

I'm reading (and LOVING by the way) "Arguing With Idiots"

Disclaimer: due to serious injury, most of my posts are made via Dragon Dictation which sometimes butchers grammar and mis-hears my words. I'm also too lazy to closely proof-read which means some of my comments will seem strange.

When I was younger, I picked up that book at the library, read the inside flap, shuddered, and placed it back on the shelf.

I am now reading Blue Boy, which is painful to read because it's about someone in sixth grade.  And still reading The Poisonwood Bible, which is awesome.

Been on an 18th Century binge a lot of this year, on Tom Jones now, which is a huge beast but told with a wonderfully slippery sense of humour.
