Just finished 'The Great Gatsby' for fun, and 'The Little Book Of Thrift' to learn from.

Both were under $20 and both were fab reads.
im just reading the sun paper right now, im not much of a book reader but i would like to get into it as i need to increase my vocab :twisted:
I just started regularly reading a year an half ago and I'm telling you it completly changed my vocabulary. At first it was a bit of a pain to sit down and read because I thought of a movie or a youtube video I could watch instead. But let me tell you it was worth every minute I took especially when I didn't want to. Today I enjoye it so much and I even started my first book in english even if my first language is french.

If I can recommend you a book it would be '' How To Read A Book by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren. :)

This week I finished The Maze Runner and Dreams of Gods and Monsters. 2 really great reads, my favoritism leans more towards DoGM because the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series is absolutely amazing.

Just started Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad - a brilliant creator of adventure, Imperialism at its best and worst, and wonderful insight into human nature. A book I just know I will find hard to put down!

I have taken a great change in my reading choice, I have started in on Frances Fyfield's novels, she has been classed as one of the best crime writers ever. My latest is "Deep Sleep", most enjoyable, I am expecting a wonderful twist at the end!!

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell . Having recently read Cloud Atlas, which I really enjoyed, I'm trying to get hold of his other novels to see if they match up. Only a couple of chapters in and I'm finding it hard to put down.
