I'm almost done with ...
... The Holy Innocents; a romance by Gilbert Adair

Want to read ...
... Mrs. Dollaway by Virginia Woolf

Well, I'm reading the 'Darvinci Code' by Dan Brown. It's one of the best Books I've ever read.

I started the DaVinci code, but never finished it for some reason. I do recall enjoying it though.

For school I'm reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I love the way that guy writes, even though some sentences take some slow chewing to get through. But i'm not so savvy about the story itself. Pip was a cute boy when he was little, but he's turning into a snobby jerk and it's rather annoying. And don't even get me started on Estella...

But i do recommend it, especially if you're planning on going into English later on. Classics like this are a must!

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, great book so far. He has a very unique style of writing.

I read The Davinci code about a month ago! It was really, really good!
Right now I am reading The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, the first book in the Wheel of Time series.

I am currently reading The Bell Jar by S. Plath, just to boost my common knowledge. After that I shall read either The Historian by E. Kostova or a book about this woman from Tibet, it's autobiographic I think, but I can't remember its name at the moment.

I'm reading Valiant a modern tale of faerie by Holly Black and I'm loving it

I am currently reading "The Count of Monte Cristo". I am in love with Edmund Dantes! and Edward Cullen. I guess there is something about the "E" names that turn me on!

I am just about to read The Color Purple tommorow.

Sophie's World.
A story about the history of philosophy. GREAAAAT BOOK!

I'm reading The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (Mohja Kahf) and Flight (Sherman Alexie) for class, and reading A Case of Exploding Mangoes (Mohammed Hanif) on the side.

Uglies series by Scott Westerfield.

I'm reading "I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith.
It's my third time and I never get bored of it.

Angels And Demons by Dan Brown (3rd time)
Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice
Son Of A Witch by Gregory Maguire (2nd time)
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusack
A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket (5th time)

There we go. My record number of books are 7.

I just finished reading a few... "It's Kind Of A Funny Story," which is the funniest book about depression ever written, a book of collective poems and short stories by Edgar Allen Poe (the BEST author EVER. love him. ) Hm... I know there are more, but I can't think of any. I think I am going to start reading A Brother's Tale soon, because I saw it in Soyala Amaya's post (above) and think it would be a good read.


Much love, homies. XP
