Currently reading The Sign of Four. Problem is, it's taking me forever. Because you know what "currently reading" means in my world?It is one of MANY books that I am mid-way through. I thought I'd sit down and make a good go of it tonight and I'd only been reading for an hour and still have a way to go. Not impressive at all.

Do you know how many

i'm currently "in the middle of" probably around fifteen. but i'm trying to concentrate on one at a time and it's been going quite well. right now the paperback i lug around in my bag everywhere is lolita and that's going brilliantly. i think it's the most beautiful written creation i have ever had the pleasure of reading.

This is correct :D I can lend you my lovely orange Penguin classics version whenever I see you next if you don't want to buy it.

YES RE: LOLITA. For real, it's absolutely stunning and the fact that English isn't even his first language and yet he could write something as perfect as that...sigh. I can't wait to read some of his other stuff. I'm glad you're reading it!

/butting in.

there are some parts where i'm like, shaking because it is SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. ugh i have never had a book do this to me before.

I was like that too! Not so much with the shaking but it almost terrified me with how FUCKING GREAT IT WAS. It was like the first time I read Oscar...for different reasons, but it was a very similar reaction.
