What are you reading?

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.
It's a really well written book but it has been taken me a while to get through, mainly because classes have started up again and I've had more things to do lately than read.
 
Just started reading Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine - I have read her previous Morganville Vampires, and really enjoyed them, so that was partly what influenced me to get this new one, but also drawn in by the beautiful cover and interesting summary
It's the first of a new series titled The Great Library
Really liking it so far :)
 
Carrie - Stephen King

I have read it many times over, but being a creature of habit, I like to reread my fav King books each year. Just finished The Stand, my favourite novel of all time. :)
 
Mathias Thulman: Witch Hunter. Witch Finder. Witch Killer.

I've strayed into the Fantasy section of the black library and so far I think it's decent, if not that, the protagonist absorbs much dislike from me for being a bit. . . rude.
 
I started reading Jonathan Franzen's Purity a few days ago. It has been really good so far, with awesome characters and an interesting story.
 
Well, I'm reading The Princess and The Goblin by George Macdonald. I recently start reading but the book seems a little boring to me. Actually I don't like reading fantasy too much except Tolkien. I've read Hobbit and The Fellowship of the ring, also I'm going to read more Tolkien books. I'm on a vacation, I don't have another choice so I have to finish The Princess and The Goblin.
 
Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman. It's about a spooky underground city beneath London. I haven't read much in the genre of magical realism until this one, but it's fun once you wrap your mind around the disconnect between the representation of reality and the magical out-of-this-world elements.

I've been slowly chipping away at The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, a pre-cursor science fiction book from the 14th century. I've also been reading the Arabian Nights every now and then.
 

Seeress of Kell, by David Eddings. Overall, the Malloreon has been a tad repetitive - which Eddings even acknowledges and tries to integrate into the plot - but it hasn't been too bad. Not sure what I'll read after this...might give Gemmell a try.

Animal Farm by George Orwell.

(What do you do when humankind mistreats farm animals? Start a rebellion of course!)

Ah, that book. Gotta love the ending.

I'm reading... uh, "The Cure of Imperfect Sight" by Dr. Bates. I know it's not a fiction book, but do anyone here understands Indonesian words? :P
 
Persuasion by Jane Austen. I'm a little torn on whether I like this book or not, I like some of it but there are some parts I find pretty horrendous at the same time, too... I guess I'll just have to decide for sure once I finish it. It seems that most people either love or hate Jane Austen but I'm really sitting on the fence with how I feel about her writing.
 
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

I'm almost through reading it. Well, not almost... I still have a little ways to go. I'm anxious to see how Tim Burton's version of it will turn out. It's right up his alley, and you just KNOW it's going to be amazing. <3
 
Persuasion by Jane Austen, and Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens.
