    Just finished A Raisin in the Sun.

    1/3 way through Fahrenheit 451. Haven't taught it in years. Love that Montag.

    The Giver or Of Mice and Men is next.

    A load of the Cumming books are 99p for kindle today. I now have about 6 of them to read!

    I note that the book thread at WUS has had about 10 posts since this thread was started. Clearly we have by poached all the literate members.

    Just finished 'The Mangle Street Murders' by MRC Kasasian, which was a lot of fun until the rather disappointing ending. Now starting 'Nunslinger' by Stark Holborn, which looks great.

    Murakami's new book just arrived. He's such an amazing yet underrated writer.

    Didn't even know this existed. I've read nearly everything up to 1Q84 and used to collect his English first editions.

    What are you in the mood for? Fiction? Non-fiction? SF? Philosophy? History?
