Book marathon

Don't worry, I haven't neglected my reading marathon. True, I'm not in the first place yet but it's comforting to know that I'm on the right track. March is nearing its end and I'm on my 12th book. Considering how I'm multi-tasking, I should be able to reach my 50 books in 2008 target.

Currently, I'm reading The White Castle by Orhan Pamuk. I am surprised that it is very hard to get into. My name is Red was splendidly mysterious, and I remained in a daze trying to figure out which one of his students was the murderer or was it even any of them, to begin with. This one hasn't grabbed my attention but will give it a go and tell you all about it later on.

A recent book I enjoyed immensely is Empress Orchid by Anchee Min. If you wanted an entertaining read on the last days of the Chinese dynasty within the Forbidden City, then this book is highly recommended.
