Welcome back into the world of books

Recently I have been reading quite a lot.
I got my apetite for books back and I established the habit to read at least 2 hours before going to bed.
In the last month I read two books:
East of Eden (John Steinback) - I liked very much the laid-back style, the descriptions and the characters, but some of the author's thoughts were too explicit in the text. Nevermind, the book is good, and giving quite a lot of food for thought.
Enduring Love (Ian MacEwan)- one of the books I picked up by chance on entering in the bookstore. The book is written in 1997 and tells a story about a manic love, and how it can ruin the lives of all the people involved. At some moments I felt close to my story - as God and love were quite involved as well. I sincerely hope I didn't reach manic areas, though I was close to...
I think I am starting to like modern fiction and I am going to read some more from McEwan in English (I always prefer to have the book in the original language, if I can understand it - there is nothing better than catching the style in this way).
Short stories by Gui De Mopasant - A very tiny book I started to read when u told me u love it. I like him, yet I still thinl O'Henry's short stories are better:)
Next on my list are:
- one book on homosexuality and suicidal tendencies ( a book that I bet will cause me a great deal of depression, that's why I am trying to postpone its reading)
- one book by Isabel Aliende - I like her style a lot and cannot wait to read it
- one book on harmony in advertising and media communications (promises to be really interesting)
- In Cold Blood (Thruman Capote) - I wanted to read this for a long time
- One more book from McEwan...
The rest I am not sure I remember.
Anyways, it seems that I am getting the reading disease and I have the feeling that soon it will mutate into a writing one:)That would be good, as I really need to practice to become a good writer ot journalist :P
