I'm reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. It kind of reminds me of Tuesdays with Morrie. The story line is pretty much the same so, if you like Tuesdays with Morrie, then you will like this book.

I am reading The Nibelungenlied. Its a German epic poem (akin to The Illiad I suppose). It's fairly intense, and its a little bit fascinating to read such an old work that focuses on a woman seeking revenge.

I started reading Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney. I think sometimes the writer is trying too hard to sound interesting and i have no idea what a sentence means! ugh.. but besides that, I'm still enjoying it

I started The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold. Let me know what you think, it feels like I'm one of the very few readers who actually enjoyed it!

Let me know how you like it in the end! will do! The story is quite nice so far.... you get used to his writing style.. Actually, I hadn't realized it, but I read something about the first gossip girl episode of this new season and the writer in the first episode, is Jay McInerney, and he is reading from that book.

Let me know what you think, it feels like I'm one of the very few readers who actually enjoyed it! The reviews on amazon were a bit intimidating I haven´t gotten too far yet but I like Sebold´s writing and I´m prepared for a bleak atmosphere. I actually like these slow books which focus relationships.
