Next, I am planning on finishing Leonard Bernstein's book, The Joy of Music, then read either Alice in Wonderland, or part two (part one wasn't part of the set) of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" for no reason at all. (amusement
 ?)

I am very disgusted with myself. I just cannot, for the life of me, keep my nose in one book at a time!! Books I am reading:
The Iliad The Everlasting Man by G.K.Chesterton The Taming of the Shrew Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austen The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R.Tolkien The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snicket The Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky

I finished The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and greatly enjoyed it.
Now I'm working on Silas Marner by George Eliot/Mary Evans (for English class) Bro. K for novel class (book 10) And Portrait of a Lady by Henry James is still around.

The Iliad
Metamorphoses (Ovid) Great Expectations The Wanderer (Old English poem) The Daisy Chain (Charlotte Yonge) I can't settle to read just one thing at the moment, which is unfortunate, because I have to write an essay on the Iliad by Thursday and I haven't finished reading it yet

I haven't read very much of it yet. So far it seems OK - there are some interesting stories (like one about an apocalyptic flood) but there's not much connection between them and there's lots of repetition. At the moment it's: Greek god chases girl. Gets her pregnant. She's turned into something by his jealous wife. Greek god does it again. And again. And again
I'm hoping it will move beyond this repetition later, because otherwise it's going to be pretty boring.

For a study at church, we've been reading The Call - by Os Guiness (SP?).
Recently flew threw a couple books I'd read ages ago - a sci-fi by Heinlein and a Hornblower book by CS Forester. A few days ago started Mutiny on the Bounty

Since I've been home with a headache the last days, I have read through A Crown Of Swords, and a book by a Norwegian author, Erlend Loe. Today my mother gave me Roverandom and the Tolkien-biography by Humphrey Carpenter. I'm also thinking about gettin Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

I finally got around to reading Unfinished Tales.... the problem is I own it and have to finish my library books by a certain time. But I am reading it now.
