The Complete Sherlock Holmes volume 1 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I'm not very far in though. :3 But what I've read thus far is good!

 P.J. Tracy - Want To Play?

 It's really good so far but it's quite a big book for what I'm used to.

 I'll probably blast through half of The Fault in Our Stars tonight and finish it tomorrow. I've got a party to go to on Wednesday and it's going to come up constantly. Gotta make friends!

I think I'm going to read 1984 again. I read it in high school and it went over my head but I want a more adult perspective of it.

Jasper Fforde - Lost in a Good Book

Thursday Next is a pretty amazing woman

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

 The Fault In Our Stars - John Green

 Like, I read it completely expecting it to be a novel equivalent of a chick flick and I was surprised to find that it wasn't a chick flick and that the characters were likeable and had some sort of development.

 I understand why it should be sad but I just found the whole thing rather sweet and quite charming.

 It's funny that I told myself that I would have read it by last Wednesday.

 Also, the film must have been different from the book because my friend said how awesome this certain part was and how satisfying it was and it was, like, two or three short paragraphs.

Not exactly reading anything right now, but I'm planning on picking up City of Bones and possibly the first Hunger Games. I need to finish the latter book actually...

And my brother has the Song of Ice and Fire books too, so they're up for consideration.

Near to the end of CoB now and holy crap I'm being screwed over big time Oo

I just finished Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel which was really enjoyable! I was looking for some good historical fiction for ages, and I can honestly say that's the best of its genre for me. The writing style completely swept me up and blew me away and I need to get my hands on the sequel as soon as possible like wow :0
