What are you reading?

[Jedi Master Yoda]

LOVE The Hunger Games!

It is probably one of my favorite series. The third one comes out this August.

I'm reading this thread, and it's pretty okay so far, I guess.

good one!

 

[DisneyRockstar]

Now i have to read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

 

[softball chick]

Unfortunately I'm reading "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" right now for summer homework. All I can say about it is Ben liked to ramble a lot!

Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers: LOVE IT!
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie: I think it's really entertaining and well written
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carol: It's so zany and weird I can't help but love it
Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne: it's so adorable and I always thought it was so sweet that Christopher Robin is his son

I definitely recommend all four!

What I've read since my last post on this thread:

Finished American Gods. READ IT. This book is so good!
Finished The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. Such a messed up book (especially if you read the author's end note), but really good and really enjoyable.
Finished Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Wicked good. You will not see the ending coming, I promise you that.
Finished Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Not gonna lie and say it was my favourite of his. I'm still a big fan of Deception Point, but it was a good read overall.
Finished Books of Blood, Book 1 by Clive Barker. Another really good, quick read. Clive is like an English Stephen King. He knows how to do horror without doing shock and awe stuff involving lots of gore. It's more creepy than "OMG, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!", and I like that.

Currently reading: The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. It's 500 or so pages of medieval English prose. And I'm reading it for fun.

Something is clearly wrong with me.

For school - The Things they Carried by Tim O'Brien - Good

For fun - Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini - Really Good.

The Things They Carried was one of my favourite required reads throughout all of high school.

 

[Smiley.Socks]

Everything (A Book About Manic Street Preachers) by Simon Price.
I love it. I've read 3/4 of it in about 4 days. It's really interesting reading about how far they've come from those wannabe teenage punks in South Wales to playing with Kylie and stuff. I also love how Simon Price, unlike other authors who've written about the Manics, doesn't dwell on Richey's disappearance. The interviews in there are really great, some of them so touching that I've cried. It's just brilliant.

 

[stitch'sgrl101]

I've been reading the Preety Little Liars series. They are really good. They are written by Sarah Shepard.

Last night i just started Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas by James Patterson.
So far its wonderful!

 

[Cali_Sparrow]

Boring school text books... blah.

But for leisure I'm reading the James Bond series.
I'm kind of out of order but I'm finishing up Thunderball right now. I liked some of the other stories better so far.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Charlie St. Cloud.
Reading it so I can go see the movie.
It's pretty good, kind of weird, but still good.

 

[magicallyDisney001]

Prisoner of Azkaban

 

[stitchgonecrazy]

It is probably one of my favorite series. The third one comes out this August.

same i read hunger games last year and just fell in love with it.

i finished the girl with the dragon tattoo not long ago which is one of my favourite books of all time so i'm reading the girl who played with fire the second in the trilogy so far it's living up to the first.

Um..no. You're freakin' amazing! We're a rare breed, those who love to read the classics for fun!
I desperately want to her my hands on The Iliad and The Oddyssey and read them before school starts. I haven't read them since high school, and I didn't really enjoy them at the time (I was stupid back then, i didn't appreciate good literature..lol) and now I want to reread them.

I'm reading The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald (probably soon to be my new favorite author)

I <3 F. Scott Fitzgerald! He's one of my favourites to read. I could read The Great Gatsby forever and ever.

And lol, I read the Iliad in 6th grade. I didn't really understand it, but I got mega extra credit in one of my classes.

And we are a rare breed! I've read quite a bit of Dickens and I really enjoy Dostoyevsky and all my friends think I'm a freak for reading them for fun!

 

[wdwllamadancer]

I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green

Now I am reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy

 

[Nancy F]

[I Am What I Am]

Right now I'm reading The Princess Bride. I love it so far.

After that, Dracula.
