By the book: Smilla's sense of snow

I know, It's hardly the right season to read Smilla's sense of snow but I was in the need of a good written thriller. And this novel did not dissapoint.

By the book: The Great Gatsby

Although I don't believe in new year's resolutions, I did happen to make a promise to myself which coincides with the beginning of 2011. I decided to read up on some of literature's classics. Being a big books fan, this will be an easy promise to keep, but just as a little extra encouragement I'm going to combine my literary efforts with some blogging.

First up is the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
