What are you reading?

Reading Nabokov's Lolita at the moment.
I feel like such a paedophile it's unbelievable. Plus, the front cover is this, so I look even more of a paedophile when I'm reading out in public on the train and that.

I'm going to some day get around to reading the Hobbit.  However, thanks to Bethesta and school, I am now trapped in an endless routine where I wake up, go to school, use my frees to do cause work, go home, play Skyrim then go to sleep.

Does it really say "Click Here To Look Inside" on the cover? That's really quite terrible.

Regardless, there are countless sites devoted to offering fake sleeves for you to print out, and if you don't feel like doing that you could just get a leather wrap.

Oh, you. Reminds me of something (inh) would reply with.
I miss her so much.
"(inh), light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Aye-en-aitch: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Aye. En. Aitch."

As much as I was against them up until this point, I am now in possession of a Kindle. I've now just bought The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft for £0.77. All 876 pages of it.
That's me sorted for the next wee while on the reading front.

Ooh, you're in for a treat. Great stuff.

As for me, I've been reading mountains of psychology studies on cognitive dissonance. It is every bit as fun as it sounds.

I'm reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It's a pretty good book, but I'm hoping it's not edited.

If it's the new edited version, it won't have the n-word anywhere within its pages. While it's an incredibly ugly word, I feel it's needed to fully convey Twain's message.

I hate that word too. But I feel as if they need to keep it in there as a part of history.

Do comics count as literature? Apparently they do but I doubt it. This is because I'm reading TWD's latest volume and it's god awful.

I plan on reading the Cloud Atlas book, and I could read this book sitting at my desk that has to do with serial killers. Sadly, my attention span is awful.

I've been reading a novel from Discworld series, something about a "war" between witches and vampires (I haven't read the front cover so I don't know its name, silly me). I have enjoyed it but its humour isin't as good as Colour of Magic in my opinion. I do, however, absolutely love the dialogue's style and I wish I would be able to write with the same style.

[FezzyBear]

Whatever, I bought a copy of The Brothers Karamazov for a dollar.

I know our uni library's got it, but I haven't picked up any of Dostoyevsky yet.

Got a few books lined up for the next few months.

The Rum Diary - Hunter S. Thompson
Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the 80's - Hunter S. Thompson
God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens (Managed to get a free .pdf for it that I can read on my Kindle. Magic.)
Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler

A real treat, for sure.

[chrismafuchris]

I've heard that Mein Kampf is a really atrocious piece of literature, like sub-Atlas Shrugged tier.
