I just started The Eye of the World (Book 1 of TWoT)
I've heard lots of good things about Jordan's books, and hundreds of bad things. I just can't avoid reading them any longer.

I'm going to.

The people on the other forums I go to don't seem to like him all that much. I've decided to figure out what everyone is talking about and read it.

Umm... Tom Sawyer for school. Easy.

I read Emma a little while ago for a book report.

Thats about it. *sigh* At least I'll have something to read in November.

I'm half way through this famous Quebec play by Micheal Tremblay called Les Belles Soeurs.

I also just finished The Novice, which I started a while ago, but never got into.

About halfway through reading Stalingrad by Antony Beevor because we're doing about the USSR in the Second World War in history. Its pretty good so far, and it has a lot of interesting facts in it, like how defenders of the city were often equipped with sharpened shovels, which they scratched their names into and slept with, as there was a shortage of shovels

I've just started 'The Flight of the Maidens' by Jane Gardam. I haven't really got into it yet though.

I'm reading an unpublished proof of The Dictionary of Republicanisms! I'm reviewing it for a writing class of mine. You guys should go buy it when it comes out.

Brazilian transexual prostitutes? That's an... esoteric subject.

Trying desperately to finish The Good Earth, for english, but...so boring. I think I'm going to ditch it and just wing it on the assignment. Feh. X_X
