    I have a few pages left of The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, but I'm currently reading Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde and I'm reluctantly reading The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad.

    I've just started Dracula by Bram Stoker, and I've concluded that the main character is just a bit oblivious.
    He is heading to the mysterious castle of a crazy business client and everyone who knows his destination is making the sign of the cross, talking about creepy supernatural occurrences and giving him gifts and begging him not to go...and he doesn't see anything wrong with that...
    This should be interesting.

    Tracer by Robert Boffard, is fantastic!!

    It's a space thriller and it is so diverse, gritty, fastpaced, that it makes my little heart happy-sing.

    The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

    Just finished my Cosmere read through and honeslty I'm craving more. Perhaps I'll read The Reckoners.

    Oooh. I got a copy of the complete poetry of John Milton for 5 quid the other week, looking forward to getting down and reading through the Paradise Lost section.

    Right now I'm reading Not After Midnight by Daphne du Maurier.

    Dostoevsky is excellent. The Idiot was one of the first of his that I read. I recently picked up a copy of the The Brothers Karamazov. It's a tome, but I'm looking forward to reading it.

    At the moment, I'm reading Europeana: A Brief History of the Twentieth Century, by Patrik Ourednik. The novel weaves through the major events and themes of the twentieth century, and provides a portrait of what it was about. It's quite interesting to read the events of the century in the form of a novel.

    Yeah, I'm loving it so far. I'm about to start Chapter Three, but I have to say that it's a lot more complex and longwinded than I'm used to reading. I rarely read 19th century English Literature, never mind Russian Literature. :lol: I'm also having trouble pronouncing Rogozhin, which is making it even harder. :lol:

    The last tome I read was David Copperfield by Dickens. It took me six months to read on and off, and when I finally finished it, I didn't want it to end.

    Currently reading Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola. I will probably read Political Theology afterwards.
