I'm currently reading the second Hunger Games book by Suzanne Collins (Catching Fire) and I'm really enjoying it so far :D

I'm going to reread that series soon! (You know, after all those other books I'm going to reread.) Just a warning: You'll likely either love or hate the third book; I enjoyed it, but then, I've only read it once and may hate it on the reread.

Right now, I've stolen The Unpersuadables[/b] by Will Storr from my mom, borrowed A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens from my sister, and checked out The Serbs by Tim Judah from the library.

At any point of time, I read 3-4 books but they are chosen consciously from each of the disciplines that I am interested in. Currently, I am reading Plato's 'Early Socratic Dialogues', Freud's 'Interpreting Dreams', Sian Ede's 'Art and Science', Homer's 'The Iliad', Transtromer's 'New Collected Poems' and Joseph Silk's 'The Infinite Cosmos'. It might seem that I am being pretentious but, in truth, I try to counterbalance the drudgery of my usual work by reading whatever might seem appealing depending on my mood at any particular point of time.

I just finished "The Pirate's Wish" by Cassandra Rose Clarke last night. Stayed up 'till 00.45, but that's nothing a nerd like me isn't used to i guess. It was a nice duology with a satisfying ending :D

I am reading Eric A Shelman's Dead Hunger: The Reign of Isis. It is the seventh book in a series. It is outstanding. Would recommend that you buy the first book in the series Dead Hunger: The Flex Sheridan Chronicles or just buy the boxed set of books 1-5.

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks was quite wonderful and I had a hard time putting it down. I have a couple of other books by Brooks on Kindle, which I really look forward to reading in due course.

I have now moved on to that 1950s classic of French erotica, The Story of O by Pauline Reage. There remains something of a mystery about the true identity of Reage, but it seems to be agreed that the story was probably written by a woman. I have seen the film (in fact, I own a DVD), which isn't all that good, so I am hoping the book is better at explaining O's motivation for willingly undergoing the degradation she is subjected to. This is a new world for me, one I don't pretend to understand.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Hey! I'm reading "Book of Dreams" by Traci Harding. So far it's been really interesting. I picked it up at an Op Shop because the cover caught my eye.. As did the name of the book. I was pleased to find out that it's themed in Australia (Where I come from) and actually has something to do with Aboriginals! I can't wait to finish it :D
