Frank Kafka-The Trial
Seems pretty good. I've heard a lot of amazing things about Kafka.

Right now I`m reading The White Nile by Alan Morehead. It`s a history of the exploration of Africa, which might sound a bit pompous, but if you want a very readable book that is a catalogue of strange people, strange places and strange events, you should check it out - from your local library if you are lucky enough to have one.

The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin
I'm only about twenty pages in so I don't really have an opinion, but the last book I read by her was great so I have high hopes.

Picked it up randomly since it was cheap and I'm a big Clarke fan. Should be alright I suppose

Good, but this book has the unfortunate distinction of following the last book I read, The Sun Also Rises. Definitely a great book, just no one can compare to Hemingway in my opinion.

It's also very long, hopefully I won't get bogged down in school work and can't finish it.

Pretty underwhelming atm.

Just finished Game of Thrones so needed a shorter book as a break.
