Ooh, everyone's reading such good books.
Sapphire Faerie, The Vampire Lestat is an excellent book. I'm a big Anne Rice fan. Wait until you get into the later books when she starts mixing the different characters from the different series. Excellent.
...Alex, I have the Silmarillion, but I haven't read it yet. Tolkien tends to get a little long-winded, in my opinion. After reading The Hobbit and the three Lord of the Rings books plus all the appendices and such, I needed a little break. I haven't found the change to pick it back up yet. After you finish it, please let me know what you thought.
SpiraLethe, Dune was a very good book. Are you planning on reading any of the other books in the series? It can get very indepth. I definately liked the book a lot better than the movie (which I have yet to make it all the way through).
Destiny, are you reading Lord of the Flies by choice or for school? I had to read it for school. Definately not something I would have picked if I had a choice, but very interesting. Piggy always weirded me out. There was just something about him. When I think of that book, I remember most clearly the part where it describes the rotting head on the stick, covered in flies. I don't know how far you are, but I know that doesn't spoil anything. I can't remember how it ends, though. Would you mind sending me a short PM after you finish, just letting me know quickly how it ended? I'd really appreciate it.
