What Book Did You Read Last Night??? (8 Viewers)

Started reading 'Homage to Catalonia' by George Orwell.. I'm surprised by how humour is in it is so far, considering it's about the Spanish Civil War. He's mostly been going on about how unbelievably ramshackle the Republican army was and how he had more chance of dying from hypothermia, starvation or boredom than getting shot by Fascists. Liking it anyway.

"Independent people" by Halldór Laxness.

I'm loving it.

Independent people=awesome. How could a writer called Halldor Laxness be anything other than great?

Can't beat a good bildungsroman of a Tuesday.

I love the way every book she writes ends in a chapter detailing what everyone did next because she obviously can never ever work out how to end her books. Ah Jackie, I still love you though.

just finished the last John Rankin Rebus novel, Fleshmarket Close. It was ok, I don't know why I like Rebus, but I do.

Now I am reading The Little Friend by Donna Tartt and it's great, like an American Gothic The Corrections crossed with Fried Green Tomatoes.

im struggling through "Heliconia Spring" by brian aldiss. its grand but a bit tiresome so far and i cant seen to get time to have a good read of it. im not sure that i'll go straight on to "Heliconia Summer" and "Heliconia Winter" like i had planned before starting this one.

My fella made off with the new Fisk book the very day I got it. Grumble. I will be bringing it with me to a certain residence though, so do not buy it.

Reading The Grapes of Wrath. I love the other Steinbeck books I've read and this is more of the same excellent stuff. I like the philosophical chapter interludes. Some beautiful sentences.
