Now I'm reading "The Tales of Beetle the Bard" by J.K. Rowling. It's a very cute book full of wizarding children's stories!

The Oddessy. It almost makes me want to reread Twilight. Almost.

The Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkein
I am about to start this book. Has anyone else read it? I was wondering what people thought of it before I actually started reading it.

Last Call by James Grippando... I picked it up at Wal-Mart the other day because I thought it looked good. I guess we'll see.

The Other Boleyn Girl. WHACK. The Prose, horrible, and widely historically inaccurate. I mean I know it's historical fiction, but the only evidence of historical fact are the character's names. Tsk Tsk............ And then I bought this "love" cartoon PR00N book........lol Even more whack than the former.....lol(yes, a radical left to my nursing material)....hahahahaha SO onto......... Neuromancer by Gibson. Yes, a tad late for a cyberpunk lover such as myself but I was always a bit slow to begin with.

Pride and Prejudice.
I've been watching the movie obsessively so I'm rereading the book. Jane Austen is a genius.

We just finished The Great Gatsby in school. A gazillion times better than The Scarlet Letter and the other philoprogenitiveness we've read. But still not that good.... I'd rather have a narrator that didn't get drunk and tell the story in a way that was too complicated to understand.

"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "The Might Book of Boosh" which is written by the Boosh team.
I'm having a hard time getting into Jane Eyre, not too fond of the writing style.

The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell both by Aldous Huxley. I'm going through a Huxley phase right now. The man was incredibly smart, near genius. The kind of genius that book writers achieve. A visionary.
PROTIP: Aldous Huxley is the same guy who wrote Brave New World.
Any man whose dying words were a request for a massive hit of LSD is good in my book.

I had to read Jane Eyre for school over the summer. Be patient with it. The storyline is pretty good once you get into it. But, I agree, I'm not fond of her style. I liked her sister better.

^Understood. I kinda took a hiatus from reading it because [the main reason I can't get into it] it's written in first person and I can't stand that writing style; probably because I'm not used to it. But I'll attempt to start reading again.

Uhhh, I am so broke, have bad relations with the school library (yikes!) and I have only about 5 books here to choose from. So I'm reading this thing called Changling about a evil warlock or something's kid who's raised on earth (I think,) and a kid from earth is raised in the magical world where technology and invention in considered evil. And the kid from earth becomes evil I guess and the other guy has to stop him...meh, whatever the badness of it is kind of hilarious

Just finished the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series up to this point.
Christ, Black Dossier was wordy. Now I have to wiki all those characters I didn't recognize.

At the moment, I'm actually in the middle of a few. I'm reading Hamlet for school. I read it last year for school, too, but I like it a lot, so it's okay. For fun, I'm reading Vanity Fair by...whoever... (I'm no good with names) and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I like them both a lot. They're pretty good. =]
