About to start Cresendo - I hope its a good book.
Still trying to finish: Burned (should be titled bored) and Linger (which the story has lingered on too far)
I want to get The duff next but I'll have to order it from the states.

I just started with the third book, Dexter in the Dark.
Still reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, it's a lot confusing given that everyone names their child like their grandfather\mother.. It's really annoying!!

Algernon Blackwood was an excellent writer. I think "The Willows" and "The Wendigo" were awesome.

Finished The Duff. It was a refreshing change in the YA market. Will need to find a similar book.

Lenin: A New Biography by Dmitri Volkogonov.
-A very tasty read, Richard Pipes noted historian wrote this about the book...
"...a very forceful account that demolishes, on the basis of solid documentary evidence, the benign image of Lenin still held by many."
