I promised for 2010 I'd get more literature in me.

Harry Potter is the God of books. Lord of the Rings was boring. But thats basically my style of stuff.

The Plague is awesome, check out The Stranger. Nausea is amazing too, but Sartre gets too visceral at times. Another book I want to read is Life Is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera, has anyone read that?

I think the last thing I actually read for pleasure was No Exit by Sartre.

Started reading a massive 750 page book on Lincoln last year, only got to page 100 so far. In fact, I shall read some more tonight, once I've wound down my computing activities.

Only read half of The Two Towers so far.

Only read half of The Two Towers so far. Good luck with that. The second half of that book is so tedious it's unbelievable. The Frodo/Sam half of Return of the King is pretty hard going for most of it too.
