It's fact you've read more books here than me but ironically, I've read more of the ones you haven't, whereas otherwise for you. XD

Lol, not surprising. I'm such a conventionalist that it's almost a sure bet that more people have read more modern stuff than I have since I seem to stick to the classics. XD

The most recent piece of contemporary literature I've read is probably 'The Reader' or 'Atonement'.
