Do not mock (I know you aren't) the Complete Works. I am in the middle of it for the third time. I am also knee deep in The Complete Plays of Anton Chekhov. Because I am so core. *Insert eyes rolling* I have a really hard time getting all the way through a book without starting another.

'Out of the Silent Planet' by C.S Lewis.
I'm almost certain that Phillip Pullman used it for inspiration for the parts about Mary Malone's actions in The Amber Spyglass.
I just wish I had the other two books to the 'Space Triology'...

Analyses of Oratorical Style (Yes, it is spelled that way in the book)

Fascinating book, and from this I also learned more of the Latin orator Cicero.

Even though I've been reading it for a long time and haven't finished it I'm still reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King.
On another note I'm also reading a book called The Complete Illustrated History Aztec & Maya.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontė, Someone Like You by Roal Dahl and The Resurrectionist by James Bradley.
I need to learn to finish books before I start reading another. At times I get a bit confused.
