    I finished Jurassic Park the other day and will start The Lost World tomorrow. Very curious to see what that's like because the story is guaranteed to be very different from the movie.

    Agreed! I read a bunch of Hemingway in a row with Old Man last, and I thought it was just terrible. For being so short it seemed amazingly long and never-ending.

    *End mini-rant*

    Currently reading: Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.

    I love those two books. I have a bit of soft spot for Michael Crichton even though he isn't the world's greatest author.

    Right now I'm working (very slowly) on The Hunt For Red October by Tom Clancy.

    Title: Great Expectations
    Author: Charles Dickens

    I just started the book, but the plot is well-formed and the characters seem diverse.

    "Orlando" by Virgina Wolf ( a must read if you're interested in gender and sexuality) and "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare.

    Bad Monkey by Carl Hiassen. It's about a cop turned food inspector who's trying to prove that this scam artist was murdered so he can get his badge back.

    I like reading but at my own pace (i.e. very slowly like 1 book every 6 months)....I'm taking a university English course right now and we're expected to read 4 books in a span of 4 months and needless to say, I have started these books but eventually end up using sparknotes because I cannot catch up. The last book I actually finished was Kafka on the Shore and I read that one for fun in the spring. I also have 3 books, 2 are non-fiction (one about AIDS and the other about Christianity) and 1 is a fictional book in a foreign language that I'm trying to learn, that I have started but have not finished reading lying on my bookshelf in wait. I'm also constantly adding new books on goodreads and pinterest boards even though I still have a ton of books that I have not finished reading. I'm planning on keeping the books I bought for this English course and complete reading them once I graduate university and I've forgotten all the spoilers I saw in sparknotes.
