The Return of Sherlock Holmes.

Inspired by his appearance in Dai Gyakuten Saiban, I'm determined to finish another set of short stories before the month ends.

"The Complete Short Stories of Franz Kafka" ... by Franz Kafka obviously :tongue:

Such a troubled soul. My favourite of the short stories has got to be The Metamorphosis. Pretty much know it off by heart by now.

MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood

reading some dredd books that my uncle gave me. while being a major fan of the movie, i'm surprised at how funny some of these stories are

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (it's been 5+ years). I'll probably have started the Chamber of Secrets by tomorrow.

Finished the Batman: Arkham Knight novel and novel called Flight by Alyssa Rose Ivy...neither of which were very good. The Arkham Knight book suffered from a serious case of the author rushing his writing and not taking enough time with the plot. Flight, on the other hand, suffered from so many clichés that I kinda wanted to throw the book at the wall...if only it wasn't on my Kindle.

Now reading Fable: Blood of Heroes by Jim C. Hines. Oh, Leech, you morbid s.o.b. You're making me like you more than I thought possible. Also loving Glory, Sterling, Winter, and Shroud. Inga, Rook, and Tipple are slowly winning me onto their side, as well, though Tipple kinda irks me slightly. Also, Blue and the ghost king keep cracking me up. :laugh: Actually, I don't think there's anything I dislike so far. ^^

Chrestomanci Series Book One: Charmed Life. I'm only about five chapters in, and I must say, I'm quite enjoying Gwendolen's frustration. Little brat is far too used to getting her way. I pity her brother, though; looks like he's getting dragged through the muck with her.

Fingers crossed character development changes Gwendolen's attitude; otherwise it's going to grate on my nerves all the way through. Chrestomanci himself is just perfect. :laugh:

Edit: Finished it. Gwendolen's attitude remained the same--if not worse--but given the course of the story, it was fitting. At least her brother, Cat (Eric) developed nicely. I really want to read more of the series, now. ^^

Reading chapter 5 of A marriage of Inconcenience. This story is really amazing and funny. i still can't get over that part between HIM and the dog .:laugh:

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

MOD EDIT: Merged two posts together

Rose Madder by Stephen King

 

[Meg]

Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa

EDIT: The MaddAddam trilogy was freaking great. @.@

 

[Rebel Dynasty]

Still on the King novel (I probably will be for another week or so), but also reading a story called Oakwood Grange on Wattpad. It's a mix I haven't seen before--Western with Greek folklore thrown in. And most important of all? The writing is good. The characters' jargon, the turn of phrase...it's beautifully done.

Started reading "I Am a Cat" by Soseki Natsume.

Just an unnamed cat who observes the human drama that evolves throughout the town.
A cat after my own heart.
