I'm reading Dubliners by James Joyce for English class. I don't really get it for the most part but meh.

For my own independent reading, I just finished Naomi and Ely's No Kiss list by Rachel Cohn. I liked it.

Now I'll probably start re-reading Eragon and Eldest, so I can then read Brsinger.

I reading Ender's Game. Someone gave me this book and I started reading it recently.

For some reason I did not like that book.

To me, it made the author seem like a
pedo.

I'm finishing up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Third time I've read the series from book one to book seven straight (and by straight I mean over the course of the last four months.)
I've never read The Dark Tower series, but I've heard good things, so a trip to the book store is in order.

Some dumbass wrote the first one for him and is selling it on ebay. Its basically a huge fanfic, I'm sure. If I had a way to contact the author, I would. Because the guy is selling it for profit, its illegal. Imo, insulting to the author as well.

When I was in college, that was all I had time for. Of course, 99.99% of the entire 4 years I was there, I was taking science, math, and/or history classes. Surprisingly, english was the class where I did the least amount of reading.

Now that I've graduated, I'm sucking up the concept of 'personal reading' while I can.

Terry Goodkind is pretty decent.

I know a LOT of people who won't read Song of Fire and Ice because of all the bad crap that happens to uh.... everyone. I laughed so hard at what happened to Cersei and Lessa though.

I've been reading Douglas Adams lately. Reread Hitchhikers.

In my opinion thats what makes the books so amazing. It's reality. It's not the fairy tale world where the good guys always wins like a lot of stories. I was literally pissed off when Rob and his mom were killed. I wanted to be in the book and kill those backstabbing sobs. I love those books. After i'm done with Terry Goodkind (which might take a while good god he has a lot of long books) I am re-reading them.

Hitchhikers is ALWAYS a good read. Fact.

I loved how the movie has just SO much more content than the book did, though.

Definately one of my favorite series. ^_^ I've never been so much into a book where its made me happy/sad/angry. Like you, I was pissed off when Rob was killed. My friend got me into the series and I left him a huge comment on gaia ranting about how pissed I was they killed Rob. I was never a fan of Catelyn because I liked Jon Snow and she didn't. >_>

Thinking about what happened to Cersei made me laugh.

My version of the book has an intro by Douglas Adams. Talks about how the book used to be a radio series and basically how when the book gets taken to a new media, he changes it on purpose, even if it contradicts the other versions. I thought it was pretty funny.

I was in book uh.... 4? 5? I don't remember right now... but I put it down. Arthur's bungling with Fenchurch is hilarious, but I obtained a Serenity rpg rulebook and am determined to be able to GM it starting in a couple of weeks.

I loved Angels and Demons it was so good. Dan Brown is a great writer. I have read Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code more times than I count I really like them both. Digital Fortress is another good one written by him.
