Well, I just decided to go against my normal practice and read The Thirteenth Tale in the middle of Reading Lolita. The 13th Tale is due in 3 days and if it's as good as everyone claims, I shouldn't want to put it down. So I should be able to finish it in 3-4 days. I've just finished the first part of Reading Lolita so I'll post on that before I start the 13th Tale, but I'll put it aside long enough to fly through 13th Tale so the library/my coworkers don't get too upset with me.

I am currently reading A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and also The Hitchhicker's guide to the galaxy trilogy. Its taking me a while to finish it but it's very enjoyable. It appeals to my sense of humor.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. It's for school, but I have always wanted to read it. So far, it's actually good!
