Default Re: What Are You Reading

Hmm, I appreciate the works of Jane Austen but don't really admire her as a writer. Thats strange because i don't find english victorian difficult to read at all. Their long windedness is what i feel a need to describe everything in detail and i like that and relish in it! One of my favourite victorian writers is Virginia Woolf. Everyone says she was crazy, it's true and i love it because she turns out to be extremely sane living in a mad world. Well, that's what i think anyway.

Dickens is another of my favourite authors and a lot of people have said that he is too long winded but again, i love his work. Each description and sarcastic point is something i love.

And yes! Send me your review of The Kite Runner, i'd love to read it. Have you read The Bookseller of Kabul? That was slightly shady to read

Right now, i'm dipping into the world of Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
