I've been trying to get through Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, but I get to a point with books where I can't be bothered any more. I get halfway through and then stop. @.@

Yea, I love it. We have it in our Journey Across Time textbooks. We also did it last year.
I just finished Linger, and now I'm doing something else about wolves. Book 2 of the Immortals series, I think.

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett.
This Summer I'll be able to buy all his books I haven't got already instead of swapping books with my cousin. :]

I avoid Terry Pratchett, as I'm sure I'll get sucked into his whole world and want to read allll of his books. And then I will have no time for life ;_;

I'm reading The Atrocity Files by Charles Stross. It's a very peculiar book; think James Bond/Harry Potter/Geeks. It's a bizarre mix, but it works. The protagonist has just gone through a portal and entered some dystopian sister universe where the Nazis won; the moon has a laser-imprinted image of Hitler burned into its surface. Awesome.

I'm finding it quite heavy going though. I'm getting the magic references, but the computery mathematical stuff is just too much :<

Back to reading Moby Dick.

It's hard to withstand the whaling exposition chapters, though. But I digress.

I'm reading Wuthering Heights at the moment, and it's irritating because I can't get the Kate Bush song out of my head while I do it...

You're reading the Aeneid in Latin? Good going! "arma virumque cano..." etc. It's a great poem - I had to do Book II for my GCSE Latin :)

The Odyssey is also better than the Iliad, so good choice there - if you like Latin, try learning some Classical Greek and having a crack at some of the Odyssey untranslated!

So did I! "It was the time when first rest begins for weary mortals..." Was pretty hard going, but I knew it all by the end. xD

I just finished reading the first six books in the Warriors series. The Original arc, to be exact. I'm going onto The New Prophecy tomorrow, when Amazon Delivers it.

Reading The Hypnotist at the moment... Just gotten past the part where Erik hypnotises the kid to talk about the murderer. It's all right so far, hoping that changes for the better when I get further into the book c:
