I’m currently reading two books. The first is Werewolf: The Forsaken by White Wolf publishing. Yeah, it’s more of a game rule book, but it’s got some really cool fiction in it! The other one is The Ghouls edited by Peter Haining; it’s collection of short stories that were eventually made into some of the old black-and-white horror flicks of the 40’s and 50’s. It’s pretty good so far.

I am reading The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks. It's about The Powers That Be who are aware of your every move, either directly or indirectly from using your ATM card, your credit history, your shopping history, and being filmed doing so, to driving in your car with of course with your sat-nav system ~ so they know where you are anytime of the day which is becoming more prevalent in the UK as we are the most watched, filmed nation in Europe. The book made me very aware of how from the minute we leave our flat/house to our place of work or wherever as to how we are being monitored to where and how we travel, what we spend even in the workplace where our employers who can identify us by how many key strokes we use on our computers and the pattern in which we strike the keys. It's a work of fiction which the author himself refuses to be identified and who lives off the computer grid Its also about the invasion of everybodies privacy which we certainly take for granted.

I'm reading A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. Its absolutely amazing, in the begining he has summed up each chapter with rhyming couplets. The political part is a little difficult and challenging but is a stunning read!

Belle du Jour - about a London call girl. Leant to me by a friend. Have to say i am finding it boring and will probably not continue with it.
I am also reading The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer which is an old favourite that I'm re-reading.

Just finished Life of Pi by Yann Martel which i would really recommend. Tried to read Sophies choice by William Styron but found it too tedious so am now moving on to Paradise Lost by John Milton.
