What are you reading now?


My dear students! I'd like to know what you are reading now in order to understand your interests and reading tastes better. So, write comments in a comment box about the book you are reading at the moment and tell me why you like it or not. As for me, I am reading The Green Mile by Stephen King now. I like the book very much. I have seen the film screened after the story, but the novel is much better, it is simply amazing.

The story is about prison guard Paul Edgecombe and the events that are taking place while he's the head guard on a death row in the early thirties. Most of the story centres on the prisoner John Coffey, who's going to "walk the green mile" (there's a green carpet on the floor down to the electric chair) for raping and killing two small girls. Coffey is really big, feeble minded and extremely gentle and Paul soon starts to doubt that Coffey killed the two girls. And gradually you are starting to doubt too, and a deep sympathy to the suspect is being evoked in your soul. 

In my opinion, it is really worth reading, as the novel is extremely deep, shrilling and thought provoking.
