Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. After 9 months of reading books that were written for kids, I'm easing my way back into adulthood.

Jodi Picoult speaks to the Charles Manson in me.

I'm flipping through 'Spanisch Ganz Leicht' (Hueber).

Ballard's 'High Rise' (pretty good Ballard, and the last third is a good pay-off).

Next, Ballard's 'The Atrocity Exhibition'.

Recently finished Will Self's 'The Butt'.

I recommend the Middle English version. After a few pages, it's not nearly as daunting as it looks at first.

On which note, my current reading: Chaucer's translation (or rather, right now I'm in the part of the translation that is not believed to be by Chaucer himself these days) of the Romaunt de la Rose. After that, I have just the Treatise on the Astrolabe left, and then I've read all of his still existing works, as far as I know.
