Post Office by Charles Bukowski...near the end already. Next I'm probably going to re-read American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.

I'm reading again! Rereading the Shadow Series (Enderverse, Card), and I finished Old School a few weeks ago -- I liked it.
***Under the Responsibility of S.P.E.W.***
(Sadistic Perplexion of Everyone's Wits)

Medieval Lit! Come here to find out who Chaucer plagiarized and translated - and why and how it worked in the late 1300s.

I just finished Burned by Ellen Hopkins.
And right before I finished her Impulse, and before that, Crank, by the same author.
I've gotten hooked on her writing.
Next, since I just finished Burned, I plan to read Glass, which is, apparently, a sequel to the aforementioned Crank.
I've always wished for something deep, moving, and thoughtful, that didn't wrap itself up into a tidy little bow at the end.
Lives are left torn open, loved ones lost, uncertainty reigns supreme.
^-^;
Love her.
Are there ever times you wonder what on earth you're doing?
You can see yourself doing things that you know are wrong.
You tell yourself to stop, hear yourself screaming within your own mind.
Yet you plow through, leaving destruction in your wake..

Someone reads Card! Yippee!

Just finished Manalive by Chesterton. Haven't read much modern stuff in a while. Don't miss it at all. Actually, it should all die. 'Cept Card of course.

I finished reading Hexwood yesterday.

I promised my friend I'd read The Silmarillion on the way to Japan because it's her favorite book, but I might just play FFVII: Crisis Core instead.

I finsihed Hwo To Be Good by Nick Hornby last night.

I'll probably read another one of his books or Mansfield Park today.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*

I just got done reading "Look for me by moonlight," by Mary Downing Hahn
If you're into romantic/horror/ vampire stories then you should really read this book.
True love, in all it’s celestial charm, and
star-crossed ways, only exist in a writer’s
mind, for humans have not yet learned
how to manifest it.

I recently finished Good Enough by Paula Yoo. It was well written and it was humorous. I recommend it to everyone--especially people who are preparing for college.

Everybody needs to read Card. It's a fact of life. :P
I'm re-hashing out "Ender's Game", ironically, on audio CD. I am filled with love for Major Anderson's voice.

Otherwise, on the list:
-- A book of Edgar Allen Poe short stories, poems and whatnot
-- Several freaking huge books on the crash of 1929
-- "The Read Thread" by Roderick Townley
-- "Texas Holdup" or something like that...the name of the author does not spring to mind...
ohmeohmy



One of the things I love about YWS is the quote generator. For example, I'm reading a really serious work, and then I see "Moo. - cow" at the bottom of the page.
