Which book are reading atm?

I'm reading Robert Harris' The Ghost Writer (formerly The Ghost). I saw the film in May/June. It was a good story, but I didn't entirely get the plot, so I hope to make some things clearer by reading the novel

I was also reading Limit by Frank Schätzing, but because the book is so enormously huge, it was unpractial to take with me on holidays, so therefore I started reading another one

What about y'all?

'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoi. (I haven't started yet, though that's going to be my next one - it's already lying on my desk... :rolleyes:

Quoted from "Silvio"

'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoi.

Have fun

, I think it'll keep you busy for a while, and tell me how it was afterwards, I thought of reading it too

Quoted from "Sara"

I have too many books to read!>.< (there are already about ten more books waiting...)

Same problem :rolleyes:

sometimes I buy multiple books at a time, which results in the fact that the waitinglist keeps growing, especially with Limit by Frank Schätzing waiting to be finished (at page 275 of 1100 xD)

The Beast in Man (La Bête Humaine) - Émile Zola. It wasn't really a conscious choice, since I just picked it out of a bookshelf because of the title. I can't decide if it's boring or intriguing, but it's probably both.

^For your study or just because of interest?

Finished The Ghost Writer. Not reading anything currently, but the next book will be either Limit (which I've already started) or Blasphemy by Douglas Preston.

@Nike... trying to figure out on what point exactly I want to write my thesis. And for fun too.. sometimes it's just hilarious to read why certain people don't like the EU.

Finished Emily Barr's Backpack, about an English girl travelling through Asia when during the same time a murderer is on the continent, killing girls who look like her. Near the end it's getting a bit more psychological, but the book was quite nice.

Now I'm reading Area 7 by Matthew Reilly
