I bought Mark Twain's Tom Saywer and Huckleberry Fin, a 2 in 1 pocket, second-hand. I already had Huckleberry Fin, but I wanted to read Tom Saywer first.
I might start it in a few days.

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

Never read his other books but was intrigued after hearing him talk on Radio Lab.

Re: Whatcha Readin'?
 

I bought "The Color of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic" of Terry Pratchett's Discworld on Amazon... I didn't like the Turkish translation of the books, and couldn't find the English ones here. So now I have to wait 15-25 days for delivery... oh well, at least my finals will be over by that time.

I read Michael Crichton's Terminal Man within a day. It had been sitting on the shelf for over 2 years, I finally decided to read it.
It's good. Better than the Andromida Strain, not as good as his more exotic books like Jurassic Park.
Funny by the way, I really couldn't tell that this book was 38 years old, except for the large computers and lack of cell phones.

Before that, I finally finished The War of the Worlds. I had started that 2 years ago, but halway through it was too boring. It's nice that he wrote this 110 years ago, but the the way it's told is just too dull.

I also started (again) in Romeo and Juliette. I just want to have read at least 1 Shakespeare story... I don't mind the old English, but I do mind all the talking and rhyming.

Re: Whatcha Readin'?
 

Well I finished the Screwed Up Life... in less than 24 hours... yeah work was busy. :lol:

Re: Whatcha Readin'?
 

Just finished



It's like more realistic Japanese version of Scott Pilgrim following the lives of a group of recent college graduates. Good stuff.

I almost miss having to commute 3 hours everyday. Got a lot of reading done during that time. Can't seem to read novels at home. Just a lot of comics and non fiction books.
