Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Got done reading I Hate MySelfie by Shane Dawson last night and it was really good 
I might read it again soon, because I didn't have as much time as I would have wanted. So I had to rush through many chapters.
Written a book report and presentation that I will have at school tomorrow

It's wonderful! But then again, anything by Per Anders Fogelström is wonderful.

Not really anything collected, but I've just started to get into the work of Marina Tsvetaeva thanks to a course I'm taking right now. She's a Russian poet who wrote critically of the Russian Revolution and was forced into exile into Western Europe, where her poetry was badly received and she was considered too Soviet. She channels that loneliness and lack of an audience into her poetry absolutely beautifully; I almost teared up reading "Conversation with a Genius," which is super whimsical on the surface but incredibly poignant when put in the context of her life story. Few more biographical details: her husband was a Soviet spy, so they returned eventually, where she expected to live something resembling a normal rest of her life. This vision she had was cut short when her husband was killed less than a year after their return, and she committed suicide soon after.
For pleasure I'm reading Herman Koch's Summer House with Swimming Pool after loving the living crap out of his last novel, The Dinner. It's super trashy but addictive and riveting as well.

Memoirs of a Stalker by Thomas W. Hodgkinson
One of the best books that I've ever read, a real mixed bag of emotions and a basis on real events... I'm hoping to adapt this into a play script as part of the second year of my Theatre degree course, and should everything run smoothly, I hope to direct it in my third year
EDIT: Just realised I posted about this two years back

Mustn't Grumble by Sir Terry Wogan.
The Corpse Reader by Antonio Garrido
I was curious about the new book by Dan Brown, Origin. I had read The Da Vinci Code and watched the film of Angels & Demons, but before reading Origin I wanted to read the previous books, so I'm currently reading The Lost Symbol (in Spanish).
Next one will be Inferno (haven't watched the film yet).
