An ancient meme

I just found this meme somewhere in a blog post 4 years old. I think I did it once before, but decided to do it again to check out the difference. The idea of this meme is to mark all the items read as bold, and then add four recently read books at the bottom. So here goes:

I think this is looking pretty good! A few of the unread books are standing on my shelf waiting to be read, and as for the rest...well, some day. :)

As for four books I recently read:

• Howl's Moving Castle (Dianne Wynne Jones) - I'm reading this one right now, I've got about half of it done. It's great! (I had to watch the movie again yesterday just for the fun of it.)
• At the Mountains of Madness (H.P. Lovecraft) - This was fun, reading a classic of horror literature (I suppose that's what it is). It was quite silly as well, and still I was a little scared reading it. Great suspense.
• The Debutante Divorceé (Plum Sykes) - Absolutely not what I usually read, but a friend gave it to me to register for Bookcrossing, and I was slightly depressed and couldn't sleep...the only right time for absolutely mindless stuff like this.
• The Scar (China Miéville) - I love this author. He writes great fantasy with beautiful and intriguing language, and he has the most amazing kind of ideas. My favourite of his so far has to be UN LUN DUN though. Can't breat that one (he illustrated it himself!).
  

So that's it for now. If you're interested, you're tagged. ;)
