    Got less than 20 pages left so I'll say that the last book I read, was One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It's a great read.

    An old book of ghost stories that I found on Kindle. Now I can't remember the name. It's for young readers, but it's very entertaining no matter your age. I read it as a kid and had to read it again. Took 45 minutes!

    Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. It's better than I expected it to be, especially as I thought no Japanese writer could live up to Murakami.

    I'm reading a book about the evolution and personification of Satan in popular culture, called The Pince of Darkness, but I honestly forget the author. It's an older book but fascinating.

    Finished reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, just recently and it was definitely a great read. I appreciated the glimpse into the life of the camp that the book offered, and some of the struggles that prisoners faced on a daily basis.

    I honestly don't remember the last book I read but I just recently picked up Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard, who, while he was a sadistic cult leader, he was also a hell of an author, I can't say any of his stories are bad, I've enjoyed every fiction book of his I've read!

    'Those Jeffries boys' by Debbie McGowan.

    This is part of the 'Hiding Behind the Couch' series featuring a group of school friends growing up. LGB themed! Superb series!

    Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

    The last book I read was Prisoner of Azkaban in the HP series. Finished it last night and am working my way through the whole series in time for The Cursed Child to come out.

    The 2000 film based on the book, however, was complete garbage.
