One of my favourite books and one of the few I've read more than once.

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.
My past experiences with 19th century works hasn't always worked out well. I only made it through about 100 pages of Moby Dick before calling it quits. Hopefully this is a better experience.
Edit: Finally finished it. I liked it a lot.

Currently re-reading Orwell's 1984. I just finished Animal Farm the other day.

Irvine Welsh's 2015 novel "A Decent Ride." I never read it when new because the main character was a one dimensional fool (he's in other Welsh books). But what the hell, I've read 99% of Welsh's books, might as well give "A Decent Ride" a read.

Strictly speaking, not currently, but I bought and read the latest Bernard Cornwell, Sword Of Kings, yesterday. I don't often buy books, as I can get pretty much everything I want from my library, but I decided, as I did with his last book, that I couldn't wait several weeks to get my hands on it. It was jolly good, of course. Part of the Uthred series? I read the first four or five and then stopped, for no particular reason. I definitely want to resume one day.

"Naked", by David Sedaris. It is a laugh riot.

Mutiny on the Bounty by Nordhoff & Hall I haven't gotten to the mutiny yet, but the crew is most displeased.

You really should start on them again, you won't be disappointed. The 12th book already? Man, that is one prolific writer! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. If I remember correctly I think I bought the first three together on a bit of a whim because I saw them on sale for a very reasonable price, read them all in quick succession, then went out and bought and read the remaining ones that had been released at that point.

One of the 100 best books about Scotland, according to The Scottish Books Trust, or someone like that. Bit of a doorstop of a novel, which covers a 6 hour nocturnal broadcast on a Glaswegian Asian community radio station. Lots of pop philosophy, musings on the state of multi-cultural relationships, Trainspotting-esque dialgogue intertwined with Urdu, and a piss-poor playlist including Kula Shaker and The Beatles.
