Well why are you making stuff for your friends? Can't they make it themselves? :roll:
Ginny, I to have three older brothers and a Dad who might aswell not even exist. I have an older sister aswell. Not to mention a rough family life as alot of people know. I have to work hard for my own money, and as much as I love books I rarely get the chance to read them let alone the cash to buy them.
Now, just because I stated that I bought a book two days ago and have nearly finished it doesn't mean you have to go ahead and try to prove to me that you can read faster and more in two days. Posting on the forums isn't some sort of competition.
Alot of people on the forums have their problems and their lives to live and there is no need to get all worked up over something so small and stupid that was meant to be meaningless anyway. I'm in the process of training several horses to jump, going through physical therapy for injuries endured over swim training aswell as working for a movie reviwer. And that is only just the beginning. But, I don't go ahead and try to prove to everyone else around here that I'm better than them, because for all I know I'm not.

Now, I would like to get back on topic.
I just started The Mutant King by David Dalton. It's a biography on James Dean :)

On a recommendation from my physics teacher and the Chicago Public Library.

Ooooh, I've heard that one's really good. Let me know how it is.



It's an interesting read, although I must stress only if you have interest in the condition.

I'm reading/re-reading a few books right now XD

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky - bought this book months ago, got to the crime, but can't bring myself to read much farther than that.

LotR/The Fellowship of the Ring - I reread the Hobbit earlier and fell in love with the series and started it, but again I can't bring myself to get past the beginning XD

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or w/e the 7th book is called - Just started it yesterday (boo @ the WW game for making me nostalgic and making me realize how little I remember from it XD).

I'm currently re-reading "Winter Moon" by Dean Koontz. I have no idea what I'll read when I finish it though. I'll either have to go to the bookstore to buy something new or finally get myself a library card.

New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

it's the sequel to the one I was reading by her before :)

Re: What Are You Reading? lickity split

Oh, Stephanie Meyer.

I'm reading Heart of Darkness by Conrad right now. I decided I ought to read more classical literature. I have to read slowly because it's challenging, but there is something about that style of writing that appeals to me much more than most of the more modern (I guess) literature I have read.

I was about to post Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer, but I just finished it :P

I'm going to go back and start reading Flowers for Algernon. I've read it before, but I was rushing half the time so I'm going to read it again.
