Reading List

I am starting to read again now that the dreaded dissertation is out of the way- I have 3 books lined up at the minute and am looking forward to all of them. Firstly, I have started The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and am loving it. I started it months ago originally, off the back of the film, but reading it went out of the window (no wonder, since I spotted it yesterday at my mum's house, must have left it there) for a while and I am starting it again now. I am only 50 or so pages in, but want to get it read as I normally hate Victorian period novels, but like this one :D plus, it is on a module reading list for this semester, so that is an added bonus.


I also have Haruki Murakami's South of the Border, West of the Sun to read soon, which I am greatly looking forward to, as have only read Norwegian Wood so far by him, which I found really poignant and beautiful (as is the film).

Lastly, today my mum picked me up a copy of Booky Wook. I never used to like Russell Brand really, but then saw an episode of Ponderland and loved it, so he grew on me :) I don't think I had really experienced him directly before that, so just seeing snippets of him seeming slightly eccentric did not give the best first impresson. I have wanted to have a look at his autobiography for a while anyway and a copy came into the charity shop mum volunteers in today, so now I have it there whenever I want.

Also winging their way to me at the minute are a series of classics for my 2nd semester modules, so I will have a heavy, and maybe not amazingly thrilling, reading load again before long. Hopefully I can get into the swing of things with these few enjoyable ones first, and then see how I go!
