Just finished "Stand by-y-y to Start Engines" by Daniel V. Gallery

He was the American Captain in WW2 whose Task Group was credited with capturing the U-505 on the high seas in 1944. He has written some very funny books from a naval point of view. It helps to have been in the Navy to be able to relate to these tales...

Also read "Wailing Wall" by Tony Hillerman

A mystery set in the Navajo Reservation...

I have a bunch of Haruki Murakami novels laying all around my apartment and my parents' house. Hoping to buy a few more if the bookstore in the city carries ones I don't already have. Need some reading material for my first plane ride. lol

Also picked up writing again and find I can churn out pages quite quickly (and around 5000 words in two hours, I think university trains you to do that lol).

I'm currently reading A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. At the moment I'm on the ninth book, "The Carnivorous Carnival".

I'm absolutely loving the series and it's actually become one of my favourites. Lemony just has such a unique writing style, and I love the story & characters. Definitely a good read.

I've just finished two books but luckily I'm reading another one as well (three at the same time I know). The one I'm still reading is Pretty Girl-13 by Liz Coley, it's really good.

hahahahaha, I remember, wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-y back in junior high. I was reading five books at one time. I had them stashed in different locations (read different classrooms) and would sneak read them while in that class... lol That semester I read over a thousand books out of our school library... but I passed (barely)

Now, I usually stick to one or two books at a time...

Just finished (up to 4AM to do it) "The Presidents Plane is Missing" by Robert J. Serling

The Tiger by John Vaillant. It's about this man-eating tiger in Russia and the people tracking it. Non-fiction. So, sooo good. Brings the Russian Far East to life like I've never seen in a book.

Also, just got the Elephant Whisperer by Pan Macmillan. Also non-fiction. Really looking forward to reading this one.

And for fiction, Wool by Hugh Howey. Sci-fi, post-apocalyptic genius.

Be prepared, you will have to read the whole trilogy... I enjoyed it. A little violent at times, but good...

Re-reading the His Dark Materials trilogy, since I haven't read them since I was probably a bit too young to even enjoy them properly.

Another mystery, "The Mystery of the Cape Cod Tavern" by Phoebe Atwood Taylor...

Sort of an Agatha Christie type mystery.... Only about a quarter thru it at this point...

Colourless Tatsuru Tazaki. My boyfriend really loves the novel after reading it over my shoulder during a six hour bus ride. He finished it before me too. One of my friends purchased it too.

Really want the UK edition for the stickers.
