I should read 'The Never Ending Story' again. I've been kind of reluctant to start it because I still remember how it ends, even if I don't remember how it begins or what happens in the middle. This book is weird like that...Most books I'll reread probably once per year, maybe a little less often. The ones that I really like, I'll reread maybe...oh, two, three, maybe five times a year. This usually gives me enough time to not remember every single little detail (unless it's the first book of a series, since I usually read them the most often.) TNES I haven't read though for years and years but I'm still reluctant to pick it up. I think my mom got it for me in like third grade and I waited six months before I read it just because it didn't look interesting. I've probably re-read it twice. It's also all swollen and puffed out because it got soaked in the rain one time :cry:

okay, off topic much? on topic: currently I'm reading "The Purple Emperor" by Herbie Brennan. Also, I'm still reading Never Sniff a Gift Fish and A Fine and Pleasant Misery, both by Patrick McManus. Ooh, I'm also going to reread Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Sky by Diana Wynne Jones - I LOVE those two books. I accidentally gave my copy of Howl's Moving Castle to the library instead of Castle in the Sky which I had checked out, I was so mad. Ah well.

I'm reading So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, by the guy who wrote Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and The Westing Game, by someone I don't remember. I love that book though..

I've read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel, Past Mortem (Ben Elton), and Trojan Odasey recently.

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. For school. It's good though, insightful, really made me think. But I'm about to start back up on the Harry Potter series yet again, 'cause a friend of mine was finally allowed to read them and I want to be able to have good conversations XD

I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code...

Great book... Confusing ending ( for me).

Now, to find a good book to read... I think I may start on The Silence of the Lambs...

Great book. Some classes in my school are reading and evaluating it. Too bad I'm not in those classes. Right now I'm starting to re-read the Sweep series.

Sun Jan 23, 2005 8:19 pm

Well, I'm currently reading The Destiny Ship, liveship Traders book 3 by Robin Hobb, and Ovid, Metaphorphoses. I am not one who enjoys the latter type of books, all Latin, all boring ¬_¬

Sun Jan 23, 2005 8:55 pm

You read Latin too? I love the metamorphoses. It was my favorite one that my class had to translate. Hard to translate, but beautiful.

Mon Jan 24, 2005 6:47 pm

I liked the story of Latona, and I'm getting mixed up with Seneca, I was about to say that I hated all the letters >_<. Never do fastrack latin, it all merges in to one, big...blob.

Tue Jan 25, 2005 2:31 am

How I Got This Way, by Patrick McManus, as well as Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan.

The Da Vinci Code - Great Book

Shhhh. . . .don't tell the professor I'm going to give this too as a present, but I'm reading Falling Leaves: The True Story of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter by Adeline Yen Mah, which I just bought to give one of my recommenders who specializes in postcolonial lit. I can't put it down.
