What are you reading at the moment?

That was a really awesome book. I read it over the summer (I'm pretty sure, it wasn't THAT long ago) and I totally loved it. I was addicted to it.

I'm reading The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. It's the third book in her trilogy, starting with A Great and Terrible Beauty. ^_^ So far, it's fantastic!

Oh, man! I didn't know the third one was out yet! I definitely have to pick that up, although I probably should reread the first ones. I usually get confused with sequels and such because I tend to forget a lot about the plot.

THE SWEET FAR THING!!!!

LOVEITLOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT!!!

Okay. Sorry. It's just everything I hear that I have an urge to freak out.

It was an awesome book. I read it in one setting, about 2 hours or so. Whoever said that, I guarantee them it's worth the 2 hours or more.

But I'm reading "Emma", by Jane Austen.

"The Scarlett Letter" by you-know-who.

"Eclipse", by Stephenie Meyer.

"Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo [someone tell me how to pronounce that title, please?]

I've finally finished American Gods and am currently working on Anansi Boys, Inkheart, How To Read Literature Like a Professor and When You Were Mine.*

*this isn't a book, but it's 400+ pages and pretty good, so I'll count it

I'm no French expert, but I'm quite sure it's 'Lay Mizz-er-ah-bluh', or something to that effect.

And good luck with it - I couldn't get past the first few pages!

How isn't it a book if it's 400+ pages? What is it then?

im reading Blood red, Snow white by erm.... Marcus Sedgwick.

I thought it was a fairy tale. it's loosly based on Anastasia's family.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'brein--


because occasionally Dostoevsky does hurt my head and I just want to read.

Kids Are Americans Too by Bill O'Reilly and Charles Flowers.

Government class has never made so much sense.

Haha. I sort of cheated. I had a minor abridged copy, since Les Miserables really is a philosophic and deep book with unavoidable run-on sentences.

I need a good book to read! Any suggestions?

I am reading Great Expectations of Dickens.

Mmm? What you think?

I'm reading Shutup and Sing by Laura Ingraham and next (since I'm almost through) will be Treason by Ann Coulter (my political idol).

Don't get me started... I've got that many books I've started but not finished...

I am Legend

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

LotR: TTT

His Dark Materials: the whole thing, yep

The Eagles's Conquest

Dragon's Den

Eragon - No intention to ever finish!

I want to read so much, but just can't!

I am reading The Witness, The Crow (Books of Pellinor series), Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment, War and Peace... wow I read a lot... The Book Thief and Persuasion.

So that is why I never do my prep...

Just finished Austen's Pride & Prejudice, and I must say that it was infinitely better than I expected. I now understand the world-wide fascination with Mr. Darcy. I now want to go see Chatsworth House on my voyage to Clouds. I now no longer hold George Eliot with such singular regard - she has competition. As such, I would consider this book a resounding success. ^_^

And now! Onto Grimms' Fairytales, a nice break from Faust and Die Erlkonig and all the misery which only Goethe can induce.

I just finished A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift for Lit class. Man, I adore this piece. Now, I am reading Faust for class, and Death by Blackhole by Neil DeGrasse Tyson for fun.

*hugs Neil*

He is so my science idol.
