    I must admit I actually enjoyed that book! Kind of makes you see how civilization would be without a structure and having kids rule the world.

    Right now I'm in the middle of 'Swann's Way' and also got into a collection of Yeats poems, which had been sitting around a few weeks after checking it out from the library, the other day.

    A Study in Scarlet (sherlock holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Re-reading it because i really liked sherlock as a kid and then this year we found out about the tv series and I got nostalgic

    Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, Re-reading it because I found out there was a fifth book and bought it recently so I wanna re-read the whole series, and I'm literally dying of happiness right now because when I was looking for the title in english I found out there is a sixth book and I really really love this series, fun story: the 4th book hadn't been published back on the time when I was reading the series and I wanted to read it so badly I shearched for the editorial that published it and contacted them to get it

    Probaby does not count as novels but the Scott Pilgrim books, I am currently reading, awaiting for book 5 and book 6 to be released this summer.

    But the last book I read was Burn This Book Basically stories about what journalists and writers have been through in their travels around the world with governments and such. Loved it.

    A friend of a friend recommended "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, So I've just started that. I'm about 70% of the way through "The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl" by Belle De Jour.
    Plus I've just brought "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" by Rachel Cohn and "Its kind of a funny story" by Ned Vizzini.

    Very good so far, I am fascinated by this world (in a bad way...? Haha).
    Next I'll read the alchimist by Paulo Coelho. They say it's good.
