There is an "additional information" heading down the bottom of the Edit Profile screen but just the heading, nothing under it.

Actually, I can't see it either (no last-fm either). What am I missing? finally made a few updates to goodreads 'nall

I like The Great Gatsby, even though I was forced to read it the first time... tragic, but accessible... I think everyone knows a "Gasby"

Start with The Third Policeman would be my advice.

I also prefered the Secret Agent to Heart of Darkness, although I enjoyed both very much. I enjoyed At Swim Two Birds much more when I gave up trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I'm currently reading The Wind in the Willows.

"Diary of a Nobody" by George Grossmith, dated, but so funny. One for fans of Jerome K Jerome.

I bought it second-hand. It's a good way to pick them up relatively inexpensively, bought 5 or 6 a couple of weeks ago. I'm really enjoying it too. Just starting a story about Pongo's Uncle Fred. I think Uncle Fred is one of Wodehouse's most underrated characters.

"Young Men in Spats" by P.G. Woodehouse. Short stories told by Eggs and Crumpets in the Drones Club about the adventures of some other Eggs, or are they Crumpets. Woodehouse never fails to have me laughing out loud.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this pain, somehow it makes it easier to bear. Did you have to read Putnam too?

W. V. Quine's 'Theories and Things' A.W. Moore 'Meaning and Reference' Tonight it's A.J. Ayer 'Language, Truth and Logic' My head hurts.

eoghan_dubhdara, those are two great books. I'm reading "Family Affair" one of the Rex Stout, Nero Wolfe novels. Sometimes cheesy crime/detective stories. Nice and light and entertaining as my last 'for fun' reading for a while. As soon as I finish it I'll be focusing on philosophical...

I'm currently reading Nancy Drew mysteries at the rate of one a night. They're not very well written but strangely compelling. I last read them when I was 5 or 6 so it's a bit nostalgic. Discovered them gathering dust in my parent's place last weekend and decided to rescue them. I justify...

Just finishing "Shroud for a Nightingale" by P.D. James, felt like something that wasn't too heavy after all the course reading of the last few months. Enjoyable read, I like the characterisation and the narrative style she uses. Not sure what's next but I have plenty of as yet unread books...

Yep, these are course related reading too. Caleb Williams does get marginally more interesting after a while, but doesn't get any easier to read. TRIPE! And that's exactly what I intend to say if I have to do an assignment or write an exam answer on it.

Well, I'm coming to The Awakening from having forced myself to read about half of Caleb Williams before getting so sick of it that I couldn't face another page. Talk about a breath of fresh air.

The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Not a bad read... quite a short book so I'm about half way through.

Mr Love-Lust, Mr Malice, Lord Hategood, Sir Having Greedy.

Just started reading this on Friday. It's pretty interesting. Yes, the main character is Christian and he encounters people like Mr Worldly Wise who try to lead him off the path

I'm supposed to be reading that but have been held up by attempts to understand St Thomas Aquinas... any chance of a synopsis when you've finished it :D

That is my favourite Flann O'Brien book. Really good.
