Have you read Murder on the Orient Express before Nick? What is your opinion of it? Personally it is one of my favourites and I was completely ecstatic when I heard/read that David Suchet (Poirot) will be doing Murder on the Orient Express,which will be released sometime this year..but I'm not sure when. I just hope that I'll be able to catch it on Television.

Reading: Pygmalion...

Just today I read "Odd Hours" by Dean Koontz
The book was quite amusing. It had a little weak story, but it doesn't matter as long as Koontz writing is good

I've read it! Only the first book though, haven't had time yet to start on the others. I really liked the book and how it developed

Especially the relationship between the captain and Temeraire was very special.

Nice. I'm a huge fan of the series myself. Some of my fursona's features, like the blue spots on my wings, came from Naomi Novik's design for the Celestial.

Also, I don't want to brag, but I met her at a book-signing. And I got my books signed to Vincent Van Gogh.

I finally finished Eragon and I have moved on to Eldest.

To Vincent van Gogh?

Yes. To Van Gogh.

What aren't I not reading should be the question...
I have so much to read for the lectures, here is a few that I'm reading currently:

*Hellas on Screen-for Classics and popular culture
*Aspects of Prehistory-for Prehistory
*Roman Death and Burial-for another essay..
*Aescyhlus' Oresteia-for seminar

That's about it...although i've been leant by a mentor Stephen King's Dark Tower..but I haven't had chance yet..

Am currently reading Charlie and the Great glass Elevator- the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Given that the sequel takes place in space and has people eating stuff that makes them be negative in age on one end and over 300 in the other I doubt a film will ever be made of it..
