What are you reading? II

Just read the Hobbit and the Hannibal Lecter books (also Divergent), currently reading Omerta, just bought World War Z, going to buy Insurgent and How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You later this week.
 
I got The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson from the library :D The Mistborn series finished a lot better than I expected so let's see the sort of sequel? The cover looks steampunky yes good
 
Finally, finally, after so very much persuading, I've started the behemoth that is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel.

(Mhals assures me it's the best thing ever, and despite being the size of a small European country, not difficult to read. Although it's worth mentioning she's currently reading LotR and finding it a well-paced romp.)

I will second her on both these points, and I found LotR impossible to get through.

I'm just about to start One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez, then I'm going to try and eat Life of Pi and The Great Gatsby, and re-eat The Hobbit, before I watch their respective movies.

Only half-way through it, but I just wanted to say that One Hundred Years of Solitude is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.
 
Talking about magical realism, I finally finished The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Aimee Bender, via my habit for buying books on Amazon based solely on how interesting I find the titles. It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but it was entertaining enough! Lots of people hated the ending though. Which is silly, because it's only about as silly as the rest of the book.
 
I have been reading loads of Yasunari Kawabata lately. To wit: The Master of Go, Thousand Cranes, and The Sound of the Mountain. They're all excellent, especially the first.
 
I just finished the books Wintergirls and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. They are now my two favorite books! I'm currently searching for a bookstore that owns Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson :)
 
Jumping between It by Stephen King, Watergate: A Novel by Thomas Mallon, and Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis by Ludwig von Mises.
