I went to the bookfair again today and got: Great Expectations, pocketsize and a hardcover The Last Tycoon by F.Scott Fitzgerald This Side of Paradise by F.Scott Fitzgerald. Tomorrow when I'm at uni I want to grab one of the many PG Wodehouse books they have there, I didn't today because I wanted to come home and look up which one is best to start with. According to wikipedia he is best known for Jeeves and Blandings Castle so maybe I'll get one of those.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter is so good. You will never like a sociopath as much as you will like Dexter! I also like Lullaby. Chuck Palahniuk is a twisted genius. Today I brought: The General in his Labyrinth Ella Minnow Pea The Human Stain
