not so much. I only read

Don't be ashamed. There are some people that don't read 3 books in a lifetime. I only read 3 in Feb but I really enjoyed them all. I am a slow reader but that doesn't curb my enthusiasm for reading. :)

Yeah, really. I'm a slooowww reader but I generally remember every word (at least for a bit, in the editorial habit). In Feb I read

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. 600 pages, so it took a while.
Who Walk in Darkness by Chandler Brossard
Some Ulysses.
Some Bright Lights, Big City.
Every LIttle Crook and Nanny by Evan Hunter
 
In February I finally finished up A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. Woot. It was so slow, I couldn't take it anywhere because of sheer size.
I celebrated by reading in soft cover, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Next was A Confederacy of Dunces author I can't remember. On my stack now are the two Claudius books by Robert Graves, I've nearly finished Claudius, the God, not yet read the other. The rest of the stack consists of A Son of the Circus, John Irving and Baudolino by Umberto Eco.

Unfortunately, no erudition from me... I just read them and run.
 
I finished: A Very Long Engagement by Japrisot

I read: In the Skin of a Lion by Ondaatje and
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre

I started: The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov - I know this is supposed to be great, but I'm finding it kind of tedious...struggling to stay interested.

I'm currently going through a lucky phase, where I'm finding books I want to read as fast as I can read them. I go for long periods where I can't find anything I like to read, then sometimes I get lucky. I think my lucky phase is slowing down, could be that in April I'll have read only a couple of books. And I only count the books I actually finished, not the ones I started and couldn't get into. :)
 
Finished in February:

'Killer Swell' by Jeff Shelby
'The Turtle Warrior' by Mary Ellis
'The Two Minute Rule' by Robert Crais
'Flashback' by Gary Braver
'Bad Move' by Linwood Barclay
'Solomon Vs. Lord' by Paul Levine
'In the Country of the Young' by Lisa Carey
 
I had a slow month reading-wise, but that was mainly because I picked several novels I did not like or could not get into.

Emily of New Moon - L.M. Montgomery
Firebirds - Sharyn November
Cloud Nine - ah, can't think of the author right now
Last Summer at Bluefish Cove - same problem (bad day)
The Birth of Venus - Sarah Dunant
The Golden Compass - Phillip Pullman
Good Omens - Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Rockabound - Frank Parker-Day

I started:
Wideacre - Philippa Gregory (Too weird)
True Believer - Nicholas Sparks (couldn't get into it)
Sandstorm - James Rollins (normally like his books, didn't feel it with this one)

I am still reading Kushiel's Dart - Jacqueline Carey. Great novel, but I haven't had the time.
 
I read:

The Republic - Plato
Death and Trial of Socrates - Plato
The Pelopopnesian War - Thucydides
A Kiss of Shadows - Laurell K. Hamilton
The Politics - Aristotle

All books for class except the LKH one :mad: .
 
Tracey Emin - Strangeland
Wayne Macauley - Blueprings for a barbed wire canoe. (school book)
Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness (school book).

I only read one short book that wasnt a school one. I have no time to read more books! I have read blueprints three times...does that count?

Besides still reading Dostojevsky I have read 3 books in february.

Hundehoved by Mortens Ramsland (Danish author)
Zahir by Paulo Coelho
Veronika decides to die by Paulo Coelho

I have just checked my book list and to find out what I had actually read in february got me looking at the list to see just how many books I read per month. 3 books seems to what I manage besides reading Dostojevsky.

Now reading Dostojevsky and Paul Auster

Flower
 
I have read:

The Widow of the South
Encyclopedia Idiotica
The Kite Runner
Sundown Towns

I will finish Fahrenheit 451 today.... does that get to count?

Sheesh, the lists that some of you have is just amazing. I guess I'm a slow reader.
