OMG I read Rebecca in one day. It was sooooo good! Highly recommend it. :D

Oh, and still finishing Anna Karenina. It's so hard to get back into it when you've put it down for a month!

I'm re-reading Half-Blood Prince again, and will start reading the Saga of Darren Shan for the first time after I'm finished. I only have four of those though, so then I will have to move on to the first book in the Demonata series, and then I will be back to nothing to read agin, until I buy more Darren Shan books when I have the money. Ah, I will be so confused :P
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

I just finished Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk this morning. An amazing book, probably one of my favorites. *hugs book*

Yesterday I picked up a Civil War novel called "Widow of the South." It's very good so far.

Cassandra, I read Fight Club over my winter break and loved it! I'm so glad you liked it as well!


I'm currently reading Diary of a Teenage Girl by Phoebe Gloeckner. Not really a traditional format, but an amazing book!

I finished The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, last week. Actually, it kept me from doing quite a bit of schoolwork... But I highly recommend it. My mom told me it was "sad, but excellent" when she lent it to me, and though that's an accurate description, it doesn't really capture the essence of the book. I'd say more tragic rather than sad, maybe poignant (i.e. keenly distressing). It's somewhat disturbing too, and when you're not reading it you keep thinking about it. A really great read, though.

I'm almost finished with Becoming a Person of Influence, by John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan.

I just finished 'Dragon Rider', by Corneilia Funke, and I've already read it, like 18 times! It's that good! And no matter how many times I read it, It never fails to suprise me with something new!!!
Many ask me if I see the glass as half full or half empty. Well, I don't know about you, but I see the glass as, WHO DRANK HALF OF MY MILK?!?!?!

I'm reading Tithe, by Holly Black. My papy bought it in a libary-book selling thing. He didn't like to so I've claimed it.
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

Archer's Goon -- Diana Wynne Jones.

Oy, has she got the oddest mind for the peculiar twists of time and character.

...and, something else - which I can't at the moment recall... o0'

The World According To Garp by John Irving. It's pretty slow reading, but it's a good story so far.

It takes me deciding to write on YWS in the late hours...to realize how many members are most active while I'm unconscious
