Baroness Ink - Are you finding that one slower than the others? I blew through Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, but Shadow of the Hegemon took me a lot longer to read, and I haven't read any of his books since. I'm sure I will once I get a sci-fi craving (they're rare for me :P), but that one sort of turned me off to Card for the time being.

gadi - Ooooh... good one. :D

I've not began yet, but I'll soon read Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut.
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction. Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill. We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.

I haven't gotten that far into it, but seems as good as ever. Aside from -- it's the paperback. I hate reading paperback books when I can get 'em in hardcover. >_>"


Also reading -- "Crime and Punishment". :P

I just read Vampirates by Justin Somper. It was what one might call a definitive "teen" novel, almost definately aimed at that age group ahaah. Which would explain why I had to nick it off my little sister.
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

I'm reading Starfist: Hangfire by David Sherman and Dan Cragg. It's good if you like military science fiction, like I do.
Just a thought.

I've been reading The Pact by Jodi Picoult off-and-on for the past two weeks and haven't gotten too far in the story yet. I'm also reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne for English class.

ooo Eva, Tolstoy? Have fun with that! I didn't finish that one. And, Heartsick if I recall correctly, looks really good. I want to get it.

Reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde. This will be the third time. I'm not sure why I'm reading it? Nothing else on my shelf looks appeasing at the moment, but I really want to read something... *sigh* I need to go book shopping.

Shan's Demonata series.

A bit boring but I'm hoping it'll progress with the next book.
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.
