The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul 1 day ago

By Douglas Adams. Just completed this, and it was a pretty odd story. It was an easy read and I really enjoyed the two main characters, one male and one female. Plenty of unexpected events.



Burmese Days 2 days ago

by George Orwell. Finished last night. I really enjoyed this book. The exotic setting and the vivid characters made the story fun to read.



A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 1 week ago

By James Joyce. Finished it night before last. I wasnt too impressed. It was interesting to see the main character go through several stages of youth, but the story never really peaked.



701. The Trial - Franz Kafka 1 week ago

Just finished…

May I just say, huh? Interesting but leaves you wondering what the hell just happened, sort of. Feel kind of pleased with the ending but kind of not. Just don’t know.

92!

The Time Machine 2 weeks ago

Great story. Its short, so its a quick read. Definitely worth the time.



The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 2 weeks ago

Finished this novella yesterday. I was of course familiar with the plot, but never read it. I really enjoyed it.



Two more 3 weeks ago

I finished Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf two nights ago, and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le Carré last night. The former was not really interesting at all. I thought only one of the characters really had any depth. The latter was a decent read. I look forward to reading more by Le Carré.



803. Diary of a Nobody - George & Weedon Grossmith 3 weeks ago

Just finished.

Very interesting especially the different than usual style of a diary. Intriguing plot that never truly dulled.

Number 91!



The Name of the Rose 3 weeks ago

By Umberto Eco, finished last night. It was pretty lengthy. Had a bit of Latin spattered throughout too. The characters were painted very colorfully and the ending evoked anger and frustration. All in all it was a decent read.
