My own (unfinished) story, and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Quite a good book, I would say. Although some people say it is not suitable for young reader under 18, I think, as a 16 years old boy, it is a good story if people can understand the depth of it. I have finished it, but I am reading it again now.

That's cool! I wish I had the capability of creating my own story, good enough for reading. However, most of my stuff turns up like garbage when it's my draft and I'm still practicing the whole editing part of writing. XD

The book I'm reading currently is actually for an assighment. It's called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Anyone read it? It's incredibly depressing, but amazing!

I only give positive reviews because I don't like to give critism for some strange reason. :) If you would like a little sunshine in your story, please PM me!

Didn't know what to read, so I grabbed a book called The Kite Runner from my English class. I'm not very far, but so far it's really good, though it's a bit graphic in parts.

Reading the bible right now...and no I'm not a crazy religious fundamentalist...Kite Runner is a very good book, you should continue reading it...I forgot who said they're reading Neil Gaiman, but haven't read any of his stuff, was wondering if he's worth reading??

I'm currently reading Untamed by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. It's like, the fourth one in the series and so far it's pretty good. Personally, if I were Zoey, I'd stop weaving such a tangled web and start fixing things. But, sadly, I am not Zoey. Hmmm... Also, I just finished The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen and am waiting on her new book, Along for the Ride to come out. And I don't know if this counts, but I'm reading Let Me Love You by Rascalover and The Novel by a person who's name I can't for the life of me remember right this second on YWS. So that's what I'm reading. Yay!
I smile, because I'd rather have laugh lines than a perma frown. :)

I agree Meadowlark. Though I've only read it like three times. (; You beat me there.

I'm reading -

The Midnighters, The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld

Great book...so far (;

I finished the Da Vinci Code about a week ago, I would TOTALLY recommend it to everybody!
I loved, loved, LOVED it! I don't get this way with many books, but this one was AWESOME!
It is a must read! I could not put it down, I finished it in two days, I loved it so much.
I really had a hard time putting it down!

The book I am reading now is The Smoke Jumper, another book I couldn't put down. :lol:
I have read it four times already, but it's a great book.

I'm reading The Eye of the Forest by P. B. Kerr. It's the fifth book in the Children of the Lamp series.

I am reading Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. It's pretty good so far, a lot of excellent descriptive writing. Though the way he writes his dialogue is annoying.
