Well, I finished _Hamlet_; really enjoyed it. Started up on the \*Odyssey, though I’m not far enough into it yet to have much of an opinion (just two chapters). I also started reading George Orwell’s _1984_ before _Hamlet_, but had to put that on hold in favor of getting the obligitory summer reading books finished on time. Not too far into it, either, but it looks very promising.

_Wuthereing Heights_ - It isn’t the greatest book. If I didn’t have to read it, then I would have stopped.

_The Odyssey_ Just started it today, so far, I like it.

_Psycho_ - The best of the three that I’m reading.

It was only a few days between finishing The Bone Doll’s Twin and getting The Hidden Warrior in the mail, but I was dying to find out what happened to Ki and to get Tobin’s reaction to you-know-what, and I really missed being around those people.

After I read the first one, I had consigned myself to wait awhile for the next installment. Luckily I found out it was in the bookstores just a week or so after finishing Bone Doll’s Twin so I snapped it up. Overall, it’s not a bad series. The sequel does not have asmuch angst and pathos as I would have expected, but all in all, it’s a good read. Of course, I am now right back in the same situation I was after finishing the first book…waiting, waiting for #3 to come out.☹

Forgot to list one other book that I am currently reading to the SO. The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
