I'm pretty sure it's going to be worth every penny so can't wait to get it downloaded on my Kindle! :D
I'm also interested in that one :)

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

I am currently rereading Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews. I assume most people have read this book however if you haven't I encourage you to . This book literally keeps you glued to the pages and you don't want to stop until you reach the end of the series.

I am reading Jane Eyre for my first time. It is an admirable book, not much different from other "Bildungsromanen" but considerably more morbid, more driven to the idea that life can plainly and simply be unfair. It's a nasty, little shocker of a truth and I admire the author considerably for driving at it so skillfully.

I am also reading Kipling's "The Jungle Book" in a Russian translation. I seldom read children's literature, but Kipling's stories are complex, truthful and fanciful, holding to the sometimes-dismal facts of life yet retaining the perpetual enchantment that is a child's first conception of the world.

Yesterday I started Merchants of Doubt This is a heavy book with a lot of facts and proof to back it up. It shows how businesses and/or our government hire scientists to cause doubt in proven theories. It is then sold to the American public as fact. So far I have read about RJ Reynolds and how cigarettes "don't" cause cancer, and also George H W Bush working for Ronald Reagan and their SDI program which cost the US $60 billion on lies. Interesting read. I can't wait to read more but it is very slow. I need to absorb a lot of names and information.

George R R Martin series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire' ... started watching Game of Thrones a while back but stopped when I realised the TV series was based on these books - would much rather read the story than watch it!
