March 4, 201412 yr Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness - Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein
March 8, 201412 yr Jane Eyre, The Book of Disquiet, Collected Poems of Audre Lorde, Collected Poems of Anna Akhmatova, Virginia Woolf's selected letters, Letters to Milena, The Diary of Anais Nin.
March 8, 201412 yr 'Understanding Fandom' by Mark Duffett for my thesis :lol: Apart from that, I'm about to start reading To Kill a Mockingbird!
May 14, 201412 yr Inferno - Dan Brown. He's the best author for me. The excitement didn't go away while I was reading his book The Lost Symbol.
May 16, 201412 yr A Devil's Chaplain, by Richard Dawkins and The Gates, by Chuck Wachtel. It's the first time I'm reading a book by Dawkins and I'm enjoying it a lot, as I'm interested in scientific reasoning, how to spread knowledge and how to be aware of ideas that might be misled however widespread they are. Nevertheless, I find that Dawkins is a bit impolite at times; he could very well, I think, get his ideas across without phrasing them in an offensive way. The Gates is also very eye-opening. To be perfectly honest, I saw it in the bargain shelves of a bookstore and it was cheap and big (I'm on a student-budget, but I also love reading and want to have my own library), so I had basically zero idea of what the book would be about, which turned out to be a very pleasant feeling. Next up is Red Dragon, by Thomas Harris.

May 26, 201412 yr To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - haven't finished it yet, but I can say its plot is interesting and grabbing. I'm sure that the end won't disappoint me. :)

I'm sure that the end won't disappoint me. :) This is the next book I'm planning to read! But right now, I'm reading like mainly all the teenagers: The Fault in our Stars by John Green. As overrated this book is, I liked it and left a few tears on the book.

My younger peers won't be able to read it :(

May 31, 201412 yr I finished the book [To Kill a Mockingbird] today. It really touched me and I can with no doubt say that's one of the best books I've ever read. You know that feeling after reading a book - when you don't want the book to stop and you want to read more and more... I had the same feeling about To Kill a Mockingbird. And in order to make the good impresion last longer I'm gonna watch the movie which is said to be a classic! :) I highly recommend this book! It's just some 2 hundred pages, not so much so you can read it whenever you can! It's worth it! :)

Red Dragon is quite the page-turner, but it isn't such a great literary piece of art; I have the same feeling as I had when I read ASOIAF - I keep reading because I want to know what happens (and also I don't know how not to finish a book even if I dislike it), not necessarily because it's a very good book.
