Right now I'm reading.g Lewis Carrol's "Through the Looking Glass"
I can't believe it's taken this long to get around to it, it's a great read.

Just finished "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet. Now started "World without end" by the same author. Love them both.

I read those the wrong way round. The Pillars of the Earth definitely is the better one. World Without End seemed a bit redundant after reading his previous effort at a historical novel. It seemed like a lot of the same, with more sex thrown in, like he couldn't think of anything better to add to make it even more of a good read. Sure, the different period setting is interesting, but The Pillars of the Earth just is a stronger story and better written.

On to "The Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew" by Bart Ehrman.

1984 is my favorite book ever written, I must confess.
 
Currently I'm reading The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and it is quite excellent as well. Some brilliant quotes in it that were good enough to make me write them down on paper

I've been waiting, what, 4 or so years for the last one to finally come out? I've been contemplating rereading the whole series, but it sums up what happened in the previous book on the first few pages of the book.
