Finished To The Lighthouse, by Viriginia Woolf (1927). Excellent read. Hard to say if I liked this as much as Mrs. Dalloway. Still loved it, though.
Currently about halfway through The Waste Lands, by Stephen King (1991, The Dark Tower #3). I found this cool illustrated edition secondhand. Not blowing my mind or anything, but it's a fun trip so far.
Recently acquired: Play it As it Lays, by Joan Didion. Under the Volcano, by Malcolm Lowry. The Martian, by Andy Weir. The Stormlight Archive #1-3, by Brandon Sanderson.

The Wastelands, by Stephen King
This has been great. I've finished reading this last night and the series just keeps getting better. I'm super excited to dive into the fourth book.
The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
This is the first audiobook that I've attempted, and I'm already 12 chapters in. Im loving the experience and just taking it slow and trying to paint the world in my mind. The narration is great and I catch myself laughing out loud or just smiling at some of the dialogue.

I finished The Essex Serpent, by Sarah Perry this past weekend.
I'm not working on Career of Evil, by Robert Galbraith and I'm loving it so far. I started it a day or two ago and I'm already half way through it. It's the 3rd in this series and I'm excited to see where this series continues to go.
I'm also going to finish The Dark Tower, by Stephen King on Audio book either today or tomorrow. It's been an amazing ride so far.

I'm still reading The Essex Serpent, by Sarah Perry. It was one of those "blind dates with a book" things. It's set in 1863 (I think) so that causes me to read it a little bit slower to take everything in and on top of that work has been crazy... So I've just been taking my time with it. I'm enjoying it well enough though!
I'm also listening to The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. This series has been so so good and I'm sure it will feel like saying goodbye to an old friend once I finish up with it.

I just finished N0S4A2, by Joe Hill last night. It was probably my favorite novel by Hill so far.
Today I started The Dark Tower, by Stephen King on audio book and The Essex Serpent, by Sarah Perry. I'm sad I'm almost finished with the Dark Tower series, it's been an amazing ride so far, but I am looking forward to finishing it. The Essex Serpent was sort of a spur of the moment read, it's one of those "blind dates with a book" but I'm enjoying it so far!

The Dark Tower, by Stephen King
Ugh, I just finished the last book in the series. I'm really going to miss reading about Roland's adventures; it was such an awesome journey and I loved every second of it. I'm not sure where to go from here to fill this gaping void, though!

Finished: The Dark Tower by Stephen King It was a good book to end a long and interesting story. While it was in no way perfect it's easily one of the best series of books I've ever read. Still trying to figure out if I love or hate the ending though.

Never posted in here before. Am currently sitting my final year exams so trying not to read anything too strenous.
Finished reading The Tuscan Child, by Rhys Bowen. Its a kindle only book i think, really surprised me with how entertaining it was. Ive been on a huge classics kick recently so it was kind of refreshing to read something with simple modern English
Started another kindle book called Careful what you joust for can't remember the author. It was one of the kindle advertisements and sounded fun.
Planning to start the The Dark Tower, by Stephen King soon aswell.

The Dark Tower, by Stephen King
I had actually planned on reading another book between Songs Of Susannah and this one, but I couldn't get into it and just decided to carry on the journey to the Dark Tower. It's quite a long book so I wasn't really wanting to get into it right now, but at least the story is fresh in my mind. So far i've read about 35% and it's been good so far.

Started:
The Great Conversation, by Robert M. Hutchins
Stop Mass Hysteria, by Michael Savage
Starting the ten-year suggested reading plan to better acquaint myself with the Great Books of the Western World, beginning with Plato's Apology & Crito.
Extreme viewpoints aside, Savage's book is informative reading thus far, documenting the roots of hysterical mass movements from the Salem Witch Trials to present day.
Continuing:
American Pastoral, by Philip Roth (halfway done!) - eager to read more Roth in the months to come.
The Waste Lands, by Stephen King (120 pages to go) - finishing what I started; needed a break from all things Tower before coming back to this.

Finished: Lysistrata, by Aristophanes
Amusing battle-of-the-sexes-type comedy considered well ahead of its time when originally produced (411 B.C.), and my second venture into the "Old Comedy" of Aristophanes - the first being Clouds, which I enjoyed more thoroughly. I'll be exploring the Greek dramas of Aeschylus and Sophocles further down the line.
With classes back in session its getting more difficult to make time for leisurely reading. Its my intention to (1) stick to a plan (The Great Conversation - Ten Years of Reading) ; (2) curb the urge to read ALL THE BOOKS by reading more slowly; and (3) set aside 30 to 45 minutes daily for this purpose. This week I'm shifting gears back into Greek philosophy with Plato's The Republic [Books I & II] and Aristotle's Ethics [Book I] & Politics [Book I].
Over the past few weeks I started a number of books without finishing the ones in progress. This will be the week I finish The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands, by Stephen King (its taken me long enough!) considering its a borrowed copy from the library.
