I'm currently reading Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture. It's pretty interesting, about big cheap stores like Wal-Mart, Target, IKEA, and outlet malls. Design vs quality vs price. I only recently got into reading books about world/economic/political issues. Good stuff.

I'm currently reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. I'm writing a literary analysis after I finish for a project.


I have this ^^ on my Kindle and can't wait to read it, but need to finish Capote's "In Cold Blood" first. Also re-reading "HP and the Deathly Hallows" before part 2 of the movie is released in July.

Medium Raw - Anthony Bourdain. Just because he's a BAMF and writes in the same style as Hunter S. Thompson.

I just finished the Big Short by Michael Lewis. Highly recommended if you are interested in the stock market crash in 05'. Now im reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It would be better used as a bullet stopper than an easy read

I am over 3/4 of the way thru "The Cider House Rules"

I liked his other book, "A Prayer for Own Meany" and my sis got me CHR for x-mas. :p It's OK. But have not seen the movie yet.

At the moment i am reading Hollywood by Charles Bukowski. If you have not heard of him, I recommend you at least wikipedia him. Wrote some fantasic short stories. The guy was pretty much a homeless bum and alcoholic untill his work started becoming published. A very good read

Tbh Dan Brown is my ~guilty pleasure. I don't take all of the "facts" he puts into his books seriously, but they're pretty entertaining regardless, in my opinion.

I'm currently re-reading Water for Elephants because the movie is coming out soon and I already know I'm going to be dragged into it.

The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd - Agatha Christie.

One of my all time faves :) Lost track of how many times I've read it, and it never gets old :p I love my iPad for reading!

And I read My Booky Wook the other day. Quite an interesting read.
