I was reading, Honey, Ice, Cinnamon and Black Cat by VC Andrews. Black Cat was good but the rest weren't all that.

I read Tarnished Gold, and Music in the Night by Virgina Andrews...they were so depressing :( even thought i knew what was going to happen, both were still sad stories

Isabel Allende's Portrait in Sepia - sweeping, beautifully written and poignant, but on occasions a little bit soapy. (by that I mean it became a bit too thoroughly romantic that the ambitions were lost by the protagonist)

The Trial by Franz Kafka.

The writing is so friggin small - I've spent about five hours reading it over the weekend and I'm still only up to about page 85. It's pretty damn good - hardly an easy read though.

i'm re-reading harry potter and the half blood prince. also reading joseph conrad's "heart of darkness", "lionheart" by jesse martin and "literary theory" by david carter. the latter is a really good summary of lit theory for anyone interested. having trouble staying focused though.

I finished it a couple of days ago, but I'm not too sure that I understood all of it... it has a wierd sort of ending, its a bit unnerving in a way
