Currently reading:

- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (59%)

- A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin (56%)

- The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Angel of the Opera by Sam Siciliano (52%)

- A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin (38%)

- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain (~20%) [on hold]

Just wanted to talk for a minute about The Great Gatsby. I'm reading it because there's a movie with Tobey Maguire and Leonardo diCaprio coming out later this year, so I wanted to get ready for it by reading the book. I'm really not enjoying it at all, though. It's kinda boring and I can't relate with any of the characters. But it's such a short book (155 pages) and I'm already more than halfway through, I feel obligated to finish it. I'm basically just reading one chapter of it a day before rewarding myself with Holmes and/or Westeros.
