I love Emma! What made it even more interesting for me is that my best friend is called Emma Woodhouse, and that first sentence applies to her completely. AND she's always trying to match me up with someone.

I'm reading An Ideal Husband at the moment.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" .. I figured I needed to give myself a bit of space from Twilight.. I was starting to fear I would get sick of it.. and I would NOT want to do that.

^^ Good call.

I'm about to start A Great and Terrible Beauty. It's supposed to be good, right?

I actually bought that book and didn't read it (shock horror!) - it sat on my bookshelf for months on end and then I decided to read it because I was bored...it is surprisingly good. I have to admit I did skip a few pages Embarassed

Molly: An Ideal Husband is by Oscar Wilde (haha I'm binging Wilde at the moment!). I haven't read much, but so far what's happened is that Sir Robert Chiltern is having a smashing dinner part darling in Grovsner Square. An old school enemy of his wife is trying to blackmail him into supporting a canal (which stinks of fraudulance) in Argentina. Now this woman is very clever, because she knows of a secret purchase of Chiltern's just before the Suez Canal was purchased and Chiltern made a fortune on illicit money from it.

It's kinda hard to explain - but I definately recommend you read it!

Yeah, AGATB is pretty good. I thought it wouldn't be; that's why I've been putting it off. Now I can't put it down!

An Ideal Husband is a play, right? Wilde only has one book, correct? I need to get a collection of his plays.

Yeah, it's a play (oops did I say book? shots myself in the foot!)

I have a Penguin Classics copy of The Importance of Being Ernest and Other Plays, so it's got Lady Windermere's Fan, Salome, An Ideal Husband, A Woman of no Importance, A Florentine Tragedy and of course tIoBE!

A short history of nearly everything by Bill Bryson
It's an amazing and astonishing book,Very witty!

I'm planning to get Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan! I expect it to be very good since I adore the Black Magician Trilogy

i'm reading "boys that bite" by mari mancusi.
it's very teenager-ish, also the language, but doesn't seem silly. lots of por culture references. it's really funny actually. and it's about vampires Smile

Holy cow. Shocked



Honestly, I'm worried that I'll pick up another book and get wrapped up in it and then feel obligated to re-read the Twilight series again. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm limited on time. Once I start college, I'll basically have no free time. =/ I have the book A Great and Terrible Beauty (I think I got the title right) laying around, so maybe I'll pick it up. I dunno. Confused

Well, with BD coming out, you're going to be rereading the books anyway, right? And YES! Read AGATB. (It's in a series, though, so you'll have to read the other two.)
