the woman warrior - maxine hong kingston. interesting stories and ideas, but i don't like the way it's written. can't quite make out if that's down to her own idiosyncratic style or just bad writing though.

I just finished listening to the audio book (the library didn't have the novel, irritatingly) of Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde, about literary detective Thursday Next. It's the sequel to The Eyre Affair and I actually enjoyed it more - I think because the world was more familiar.  Incredibly captivating and... original... _________________ <center>i love

I'm reading House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. They're already turning it into a movie... but the novel is quite chilling I must say!
I'm also trying to read Ranger's Apprentice, the first book... the ruins of something or other...

I just read On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. Twice, in fact.  I absolutely loved it - it was captivating and incredibly moving and the mystery aspect was really interesting. It had elements of her book Saving Francesca in it, which I found amusing (although I suspect I only noticed them because I've read the latter book too many times) but I think it was a better story. Don't know if I like it more, but it was definately very good. Recommended. _________________ <center>i love

beowulf (translation by seamus heaney). i've loved this poem since i was seven, and not even the fact that i'm reading it under great stress (i have to write a 2500 word essay on it by monday) can ruin it for me. wonderful piece of literature.
