    Just finished "Wicked - The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire. Loved it. I plan on reading "Son of a Witch" soon. After that...who knows.

    I've just finished Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, I loved it :slight_smile:
    Currently I'm reading Women in love by D.H. Lawrence, and I'm already in love with it.

    I'm reading "Blood and Guts: A short history of medicine", by Roy Porter. It's actually very interesting, but I will probably take a break to read "Professor Stewart's Hoard of Mathematical Treasures".

    Fiction-wise, I am going through a stint of HP fanfics. :rolle:

    Just finished Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce. I'm a firm believer that she's the best medieval fantasy writer ever /hides from LOTR fans

    Currently working on Level 26, which is already proving in the first chapter to be exceptionally gory.

    Anthem by Ann Rhyne. Amazing but I also just finished the first two Game of Thrones books which were really exceptional themselves

    "A Handful of Dust" by Evelyn Waugh. It's the first book I've read that's really made me angry. But it's an utterly compelling read all the same: it's a smart satire.

    I'm sort of working my way through "The Handmaid's Tale". That is a good book. Atwood's writing is so fluent, you can instantly tell she's a poet like Ondaatje, another Canadian writer.

    And I've just been to see "Doctor Faustus" at Shakespeare's Globe (no less). A-ma-zing.

    On the Pleasure of Hating by William Hazlitt

    Still reading it, it's a more philosophical book...

    The last book I read, was "Happily Ever After". It was a large book filled with short stories composed by many different writers : D I suggest it.

    I just finished reading Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison. It's a very sad book but it's also really inspiring and it totally changed my views on the prison system in America.
