What I'm reading

It's been ages since I've done a "what I'm reading" post, so I figured I may as well do one now.

As for what I'm reading...I'm trying to read too many things all at once!!

The Burning Island
by Pamela Frierson
non-fiction

I started reading this earlier this year, and I think I've spent most of the year on it. It's not that it's a big book, it's just that I keep getting side tracked from it.


Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
historical fiction

I've been reading it on my iPhone. Neat book, better than Tom Sawyer, I think.


Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
historical fiction

I just started last night. I have it on my iPhone and as a book book that I got at Powell's recently. It was on my list of must read books for 2011, and I've read it before. :)


Brisingr
by Christopher Paolini
fantasy

I'm listening to this as an audio book. I've read it before, and am looking forward to the release of the final Inheritance book in a couple months. :)

You are reading Pride and Prejudice? I just finished Sense, Sensibility and Sea Monsters. You might get a good laugh, if you read it after Pride and Prejudice ;-)

I must say that I roared!

Hmm, I haven't read Sense and Sensibility, and I think I'll want to read that before I read the spoof. But I'll definitely bear the Sea Monsters version in mind. :)

The spoof mixes Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and good old Austen language. It is hilarious.
