I got Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto for Christmas, so today I threw Jeanne d'Arc in the CD player, and started reading. When the music had ended, I was almost finished with all the introductions and prefaces.
25% of the book read, and I haven't even started on the actual novel. :roll:

...so this better be good!

I'm not convinced the author is Scottish. I mean RUPERT??

Just started reading Cormac McCarthy's latest novel "The Road". Very dark stuff, but I love his writing all the same.

For new readers I would recommend starting with his "Border"-trilogy, which consists of the 3 novels "All the pretty horses", "The crossing" and "Cities of the plain".

Yeah he tells a good story. I've only read the Kings Buccaneer and thoroughly enjoyed it.

alternating with Hawthorne, I'm also reading a small book called "Tales Of Good God" (word by word translation, mind you) by Rainer Maria Rilke.
