awww, Bartimaeus... i want one.
I've been wanting to read that Jonathan Stroud trilogy. I happened upon his blog by accident, and he seems like an <i>amazing</i> guy. Sadly, our library doesn't have the books. *sniffle*
Currently reading: <i>Orthodoxy</i> by GK Chesterton, and <i>Rob Roy</i> by Sir Walter Scott.
I love both, and the latter is my second time through. S.W.S. has such a distinct way of defining accents, and I especially love the way he does the Scottish ones. Chesterton is fresh and appealing, almost, if I dare use this word on such a philosopher, <i>fun.</i> Reading his book has been for me like looking through the world with a child's eyes again; marveling at flowers, and feeling impishly clever when I spell "cinnamon" right.
So far my favorite quote has been,
"Death is even more tragic than death by starvation. Having a nose is more comic than having a Norman nose." _________________ <center>

^^Isn't it brilliant though? 
I finished up "Utopia." Loved it. Social/political satire is always good in my mind.  But its also just pure brilliance. Hats off to Thomas More!
Anyway, started my Jane Austen binge.
Currently reading "Persuasion"! HURRAY! _________________ "So what? So plenty!"

Hats off to Thomas More! we read a little bit of it in school, during philosophy and it was pretty cool, even if I didn't like More's project...
..btw finally reading harry potter and the deathly hallows, which came out in italy only a week ago.... _________________

Everything Is Illluminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. I've heard it's a really good book. So far it's pretty unusual, but I'm not very far. Let's just hope it's better than the movie, because I tried to watch it once, and not even Elijah Wood could make me want to keep watching it.

You know I used to be in this online Jane Austen club (I was in a PG Wodehouse one as well) where we met over Skype every weekend (or sometimes MSN) and held reading sessions through a mic (taking turns with reading). It was really so much fun! When we read Pride and Prejudice, everyone had a different "Darcy voice" eheh.
I'm reading <i>The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes</i> again.
*sigh*
*keeps self from swooning just in time*
I think this is my favorite of the collections of S.Holmes stories. I mean, you really see his human side more in this one. Especially when he thinks Watson is shot.
*tear*
Such a sweet, logical, brilliant guy. _________________ <center>
