I'd say you're better off preparing yourself to read the same book 6 times!

Started reading Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton this week, despite not really digging the whole pirate thing, its a very good, schlocky read so far.

Just finished American Psycho - was really good, really grim but really good.

i've been reading shit all. university has destroyed my desire to read anything or frankly be interested in anything without analysing it from a literary critic's perspective. i will re-read my favourite book;

wilbur smith - eagle in the sky

when i am in portugal, & will save such a pleasure till 3 weeks time.

Where did you go in Portugal? I was in Vilamoura for a week, got back a few days ago.

Whilst there i read E-A Novel, a novel written completely in email format. Nice light read for holiday. Then started the fifth of the Dark Tower series, Wolves of the Calla.

Recently finished:

The curious incident of the dog in the night - i thought it was pretty awesome, didn't really know what to expect goign into it but was very unique!

The Good Guy by Dean Koontz - was ok, good enough, guessed the main characters "hidden past" way way before the end though!

Just started A Michael Robotham book , its called shatter (i think), its really oddly written in my opinion.
