I'm lazy and can't be bothered to search for older threads with this topic. Anyways, what are you currently reading?
I've just finished The Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien, and started Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. |

| Memoirs of a Geisha is well written. I really enjoyed reading that one. At the moment, I'm reading Where Rainbows End by Cecilia Ahern. I've almost finished it so I'll soon start another one. Probably Teacher, Teacher by Jack Sheffield. |

Yes, I quite like it. Tried reading it 6 years ago, but I didn't really like it... must have developed my taste in books ;) |

I'm reading Deathly Hollows, I'm quite proud actually, I usually read 3/4 of a book and cant be arsed, but I'm doing well, I got it on Thursday started on Friday and I am now on page 489, I have never read that fast which might sound crap to how fast people here read books, still I am proud. |

I was really upset to find that it wasn't a REAL memoir! Felt soooooo cheated! |
