I am the sort of person who reads several books in parallel, probably expressing a restless, superficial mind. Currently, I am re-reading 'The Stand', by Stephen King, after Leprechaun's contribution to the recent Bird Flu thread reminded me how much I had enjoyed this book over a decade ago.

I am also reading Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' for the umteenth time, and Elizabeth Gaskell's 'North and South': nothing to do with the terrible TV series I hastily switch over from, which seems to be like Gone With The Wind rewritten for idiots. This one is the same plot as Pride and Prejudice but with some very different takes on the social divide: less good because there is very little humour, but clever and interesting.
