Instructions on my pizza box.
I think I'll add gorgonzola to it before chucking it in the oven.

'I Capture the Castle'. It's rather lovely so far.

I"ll probably reread Moby-Dick after that....
keep trying to read Moby Dick. Still don't like it
Yeah, it's a weird book. But I try to keep in mind that Melville was a minimum-wage dude working in NYCs Customs House when he wrote it. I usually get my copy from the library, so it's an old edition, and I just think, "Good old Herman Melville, working his day job and knocking out this behemoth of a book in his spare time...God bless America!"

It makes me feel as if I'm missing something. I want to like, i just haven't found it enjoyable to read

"A Prospect of the Sea" by Dylan Thomas. Or, rather, a collection of short works by Thomas. Very good.

Well at the moment I'm reading a novel called "A Tiny Bit Marvellous" by Dawn French - it's a light comedy read and I needed it becuase prior to that I read:

The Road- Cormac McCarthy
Inferno - Dante
Macbeth - Sakespeare

All thoroughly enjoyable but needed something now to lift me a little.

Always always have a book on the go though - and it's just aswell because I own around 600 books (both Fiction and Non) and about 250 of those are on my To Be Read (TBR) shelves.
I'm not an alcoholic, I'm just passionate about alcohol ; )

Currently reading a collection of essays by James Baldwin. I'd recommend his novel "Go Tell It on the Mountain" to anyone.
