A Beautiful Mind be Sylvia Nasar
Hopefully it is a good book. I hate reading 400+ pages and not like them in the end.

^Is it for school again? Or is it just a case where you were expecting something different from the summary on the back? (That has happened dozens of times to me...) Kitty and the Silver Bullet by Carrie Vaughn. Much inticipated. Been waiting to read this book for awhile (hopefully I'll be done by tomorrow afternoon or so).

It is for school. Just I heard it was a good book, and a good movie.

I read it in World Lit. My teacher is so amazing, she really helps you understand what's going on. I'm about to read Sense and Sensibility, after Jane Eyre (Brit Lit summer reading - I already read Wuthering Heights) All of you guys that have read it in school are sooo lucky. I'm lucky that one of my friends just happens to be reading it too, though, so at least I have someone to discuss it with lol. Hopefully Sense and Sensibility is good, I really didn't like the movie lol so I don't know if I could ever get myself to read the book. Hugh Grant just doesn't do it right XD

I was just reading Animal Farm for school (having loved 1984 it's no surprise that I enjoyed this one). The two I'm reading now are The Oddessy (also for school) and in my spare time I flip through The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Land Warfare .

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan.
I first found out about this book through a RuroKen fanfic that was inspired by it. I was "wow!" when I first read the fanfic, and then when I read the a/n that there was an actual book series, I was "WOW!".
And I must say, the real book is even more erotic and captivating than the fanfic. *giggle**blush*
(And I don't even like romance books. But this is supernatural romance. *^.^*)

^ Ooh, Magey, you are so bad xD *is ignoring the fact that you've already left and is replying anyways*
I'm currently reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It's very sweet and romantic, but... I prefer the movie version, which adds a spark Noah and Allie's relationship >>

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
This book is the most phail book I have ever read in my life (actually, the worst was Sign of the Beaver, but this comes pretty darn close). I don't even think you can call it a book. There is no plot whatsoever. No one is trying to accomplish something, go somewhere, save a person/place/thing, NOTHING at all. All it does is descirbe a "utopian" world. I would never recommend this to anyone. Even in class, we get time to read it, I almost fall asleep each time; once I start reading it, my vision starts to blur and I have to keep moving in my seat to stay awake. Then, I completely forget what I just read because none of it is good.

Eragon Christopher Paolini
I am reading this again. I want to read both this and the Eldest before I begin the third book.
