I'm reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbera Kingsolver. It's a book I try to read at least once a year, so its power over me never lessens. Because it's one of those that will probably never, ever leave my head, but I'm still irresistably drawn to read it every single time I see it on the shelf.
Quite possibly one of the best books of all time, excluding none. It will certainly go down on the list of classics.
Flannery O'Connor. Its the most awesome author I've read in a long time, exluding Tamora Pierce (there is no comparison). For English we are reading her, and so far my favourite one is, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" wicked awesome so far! Mr. Giotas rules the world for making us read her...
::Just finished the short story. It is so wicked funny. It's a must read, very unexpected but hilarious!::

I am reading Eragon, if a movie was made about it -- which in itself looks crap -- I thought perhaps that it might be worth reading, forgetting the very reason I had stayed away from it in the first place. I was reminded of it in the very first chapter. It is, so far as I can see, poorly written, it is however, readable.
I am also trying to get my hands on Thirteen Moons.
I've just finished reading "The Trickster's Queen" by Tamora Pierce forlike the hundredth time (well, no, maybe the fifth...) Anyways, its great, just as all of her books, hehe.
