I tried reading Nietzche in original German... I realized I knew no German, and give up. But I've read lots of stuff in French.
I like Sqwirtle.

I've been reading a lot of Private Eye lately. Satire at its best.

I occasionally write stories. Find them HERE

I also race cars from time to time on my YouTube Channel

i'm not reading an actual novel right now, but i've been reading some Digimon fanfics on Fanfiction.net if that counts.

otherwise, i'm translating a doujinshi from Japanese to English if you concider that reading, cuz technically, i'm reading characters.

I'm currently Evil At Heart by Chelsea Cain. It's the third book in the Gretchen Lowell serial killer series. The first two were really good reads, and this was a steal at £3.76 lol.. gogo Tesco. Anyway, Gretchen is a beautiful, smart, evil woman who has admitted to killing over 200 people. The main protagonist throughout the book is Archie Sheridan, a detective who is the head of the task force looking for her (she escaped from the police in the last book...) Archie has spent the last few months in the city's psychiatric hospital, battling with his addiction to painkillers, and his strange obsession with Gretchen, the woman who tortured him. It's stockholm syndrome taken to the extreme..

anyway, I definitely recommend these books, the first is called Heart Sick and the second Sweet Heart. You should read them in that order ;D

Ugh, I'm juggling quite a bit of stuff, some of it for school, some of it personal.

For English, I'm reading 1984. Pretty interesting stuff, with the communism and all. Still not getting into any developing plot yet though... hmmm

For Theatre Arts, if you count it, the script for "12 Angry Men." The advanced theatre class is putting it on and I'm one of the twelve angry men, arguably the angriest. Pretty damn good script, but it's gonna be a pain to perform. It's just three big acts, I never get to go offstage for a break or anything.

And then out of my own volition, I'm trying to read "Finnegans Wake" by James Joyce. It's probably my favorite book of all time, reading it aloud with friends was hilarious enough for me to actually willingly buy a book. I know.

At the moment, I'm reading Kiss Of Life by Daniel Waters and Knife Edge by Malorie Blackman, along with many revision guides relating to Maths, Geography and Physics.

I'm going to start reading Ill Wind by Rachel Caine at some point, along with the rest of her Morganville Vampires series. I have about another 10 books to read as well =P

"the doomsday key" by  james rollins. Is okay so far.. apparently there are about five books that precede it in the series, so it's all a bit odd, hey ho 8D 
 
mum basically just walked in and dumped a pile of those paperback thriller/detective/murder/ridiculously ott books on the table a day or so ago that her friend was going to throw out 
so am reading my way through them 
they all have titles like QUANTUM and SNOWBLIND which is nice. 
but yeah that's the kind of thing i like to read, alas.

I love the Sigma Force books. A bit fantastical but bloody good fun.

Currently reading Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. Not bad so far. also got the graphic novels of books one and two
