What I'm reading
Since finishing my second reread of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Across the Nightingale Floor last week, I've started two books.
Firstly, there's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, another reread. I'm actually sort of on hold at the start of the third chapter due to the fact that I've been travelling into the city and whatnot last week with a bag that already had a shitload of stuff in it and thusly wouldn't fit in GoF.
Secondly, there's The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald. Hadn't intended to read it, just picked it up on a whim whilst I was at the local library on Tuesday last week. I don't actively pursue the reading of classics, mainly because the old classics (Charlotte Bronte, I'm looking at you in your grave) bore me (or atleast 3 years ago I couldn't appreciate it. But I'm sure it's more on the boredom side).
But this one is quite good. I'm not "really into it" but I can really appreciate why this is a classic. F.Scott Fitzgerald's choice of words is economical but not barren or sparse and says exactly what he means to. With style.
No beating around the bush. Or, no more than usual.
It's architecturally interesting. *nods*
