What I'm Reading

Taken from Goodreads:A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles and genres, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventures, a Nabokovian love of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction that reveals how disparate people connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.

I'm approximately 15 -  20% in & really excited to finish this book. I absolutely loved the movie. 

classic book haul

I found the following books (used) for a really cheap price. I'm pretty excited. I haven't photographed them, so I tried to find images that matched the books I have as closely as possible.

A Room With a View - E.M. Forster 

Night and Day by Virginia Woolf

The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf

Bleak House by Charles Dickens 

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

an update

I have been so busy that I feel like I haven't spent as much time reading as I would have liked.
My busyness hasn't hindered the fact that I have added more books to my 'currently reading' list. In addition to Unearthly by Cynthia Hand, I'm also reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth (yes!!! preparing for Allegiant) and an Agatha Raisin mystery by M.C. Beaton. 

I have been thinking about books that I would like to read in the future. I want to add more historical nonfiction and American/British classics to my list. I actually picked up a few used classics recently, so hopefully I will get around to reading them in the near future. 

Nanowrimo is going...um just going. I had an original idea, changed it up a bit but left the basic storyline. I've written a bit, and I've met my goal for the majority of the days. It's an interesting concept, and really forces you to pick your brain to improve the original story that you come up with.

Coffee has been my saving grace each day.
