Next up is World's End by T C (Coraghessan) Boyle (1987).

Still busy reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I'm a third into the book and it's going a bit slow for me. It's not as interesting as I thought it would be. Perhaps it will get better.

I'm in the midst of the first Game of Thrones book. I haven't missed an episode of the tv show, but I still want to read the books. Still, it's slow-going, as I keep stopping to read something else that's shorter. Maybe I'll finally finish before season 8 begins in 2018 or 2019. Maybe.

I am currently reading The remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Its a sad and humorous love story that highlights the democratic responsibilities of the ordinary man.

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.
Just finished reading Puffy and the Formidable Foe. A children story book. A ton to learn from it.

Thanks @Redlegs. Nope, still around. Been busy lately though. Hopefully I will be able to hang around here more soon.

Oh my, DATo! That's a formidable task you set out to do. What's your timetable for that?

When will you and Redlegs favor us mortals with your reviews?

Greetings @Miriam Molina ,

Well, I'd like to do reviews but there just isn't enough time in the day it seems. I don't have a timetable for Winnie's tome. I figure the war took 4 - 5 years and if I can get it read in at least as long as it took to fight it I will consider myself lucky *LOL*

I'm reading Strong Heart for OBC, and a book called Juliana, which I found on OBC after reading a really good review. Both pretty good so far.
Also finishing off a fantasy series I started last month.
