I'm reading one of Robert Fulghum's books... can't remember which one though (I just got out of class, and my brain is fried). I've had them for about a year or two, but it's the type of reading that never really gets old... it's almost like if George Carlin wrote a Chicken Soup for the Soul book.

Has anyone else here not read the Harry Potter books...

...and paid the price from their friends?

The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett. Much, much, much better than The Color of Magic in my opinion. I think I'm liking it more than Small Gods even. ^_^

A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the smurf by David M Friedman.

it's really quite interesting and insightful. i'm trying to gain an understanding of how our society became so patriarchal, and this book helps a lot.

Crime and Punishment (plowing through really slowly), Interpreter of Maladies (a collection of short stories for school) and re-reading The Handmaid's Tale (also for school).

The Lord of the Rings. The big one with all the books in it. I got it for Christmas a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it.

The Stranger - by Albert Camus
I'm reading the english version first, and it was translated from french by Matthew Ward.
It started off dull, but I'm beginning to find the man fascinating. I think I'll read it again when I'm done just to make sure I fully understand it. It's really short, so it won't take me too long, even if I am slow.

Hound of the Baskervilles, which started out in much the same way and with the same pacing that your average Holmes short story does, but I'm finally starting to see how it could be a novella.

Eldest - It's ok, very easy to read. Things happen quite suddenly.

I am once again attempting to read Wicked. Hopefully I'll finish it this time :)

I am once again attempting to read Wicked.

My English teacher wants me to read that (again), so I must. Have you gotten to the part where Fiyero comes? Things get a whole lot better after that.

Now I just have to find it...

"The Simpsons and Philosophy"

It's a philosophy book... but it's discussing The Simpsons... quite interesting.

Chris: Our newspaper just had a book review of Eldest. thumbs up
