Er... just read "Taming of the Shew."

I'm reading "Catcher in the Rye." I apparently haven't read it for a long time... it seems quite different now. :P

The unabridged version of Les Miserables



I plan to read that before I die.

I just started a lovely, wonderful translation of The Brothers Karamazov. I'm intimidated, to say the least. But I know I'll love it.

I'm always reading several books at the same time. Right now, if I can remember right, it's Fever 1793, The Curse of Treasure Island, Dragon Rider, and Marley and Me. Marley and Me is really great, by the way. Absolutely hilarious. I guess I can kind of relate because I have two black labs of my own.
The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.

"When a King Looses His Country" - Maurice Druon. Awesome book, by the way. About the Battle of Poitiers. (There's a whole series, WKLHC {rough translation} is last; its about France from Philip IV to John II)

And a number of others ^_^

Dorothy Sayers...rather a few things by Sayers. Busman's Honeymoon at the moment - characters are hilarious.

Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn. I picked it up last weekend at a used bookstore. It's really good!

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Quite wonderful so far, but I'm only ninety or so pages in.

His Majesty's Dragon. Or at least I'm attempting to read it -- the language isn't challenging, but the punctuation is...

I just finished reading "Dread Locks" by Neal Shusterman and am about to begin reading "Poor Little Witch Girl" by Marie Desplechin.

I started the Bartimaeus Trilogy, but I have had a recent drop in interest for fantasy. It used to be all I read...
Llama 1:"Shh! Do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness."
Llama 2:"That's the sound of people drowning, Carl!"
Llama 1:"That is what forgiveness sounds like; screaming and then silence."
