Right now I'm mainly reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's super long lol. I'm going into architecture so I thought it would be good to pick it up again.

last time was in high school and I had to turn it in half done because school was ending and I didn't get the chance to check it out from the city library. Now I own it ^.^

Don't bother. It was bad, long, boring and self-righteous when published in 1957 and hasn't improved in 54 years. And it certainly won't help you in architecture (though it may help you understand just how deluded libertarians are).

Halo Glasslands by Karen Traviss just started it, seems ok. The most recent one I finshed was Halo cryptum by Greg Bear didn't mind it, but I'm not a Bear fan.

I just finished "Wait for Me" The last biography of Deborah Mitford, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, I enjoyed it too.

Ooo have you read " The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters" Its a compilation of all the letters between the Mitford sisters its a really engaging read and as its broken up in to the individual letters between the sisters its a nice book to dip in to inbetween reading other things

Ooh, I note your graph! (as the Mitford sisters would say). I loved that book - taught me a lot about the social mores and politics of the time too.

I just finished "A Visit From The Goon Squad" by Jennifer Egan - & highly recommend. The characters' lives are all entwined but she's put it together so deftly that you almost don't notice the beautiful architecture of the book. And it skips along so quickly. Oh and it's quite... hip? Sorta?
