I read Holes a couple of years ago for school too, wasn't my favourite book to read from what i remember about it but it was alright.

I gave up on trying to read Stephen Kings "The Shining" normally i can read a novel in one or two days but i only managed 5 chaters over a week and just couldn't make myself carry on, which is a first for me.

So now i have nothing to read, might go to the library later this afternoon and get another lot of books out to read, wouldn't mind reading Little Lord Fauntleroy, Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett or the secret garden again, Have any of you read either of those books? I love them, amazing writing, and by far beats alot of modern cliche stories today.

Right .. off to the library then

I now have all three of those books inmy hot little hands, so now i can say I'm reading A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

^^ I loved The Secret Garden. Never really liked The Little Princess.

"Dark Hollow" by Anna Katharine Green.

"Making Money" by Terry Pratchett.

And "Eragon" when I can be bothered. It's getting really boring.

"For the Relief of Unbearable Urges," by Nathan Englander, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," by Michael Chabon, the collected stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer, and re-reading my absolute favorite book "Everything is Illuminated," by Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm doing a research paper on magical realism in Jewish fiction and am casting my net very wide .

We finished reading "Of Mice and Men" in English today. The ending was so sad, it made me wanna cry. Poor Lennie =(

well i was reading the secret garden and proceeded to forget it at my friends house the other day, so she took it and read it al and i have to wait to go back and get it, in the mean time, i got out a random lil book today, part of a series i've never heard of called Alex unlimited .. and this book is called split-second sight .. kind of a weird book, took awhile to get moving and then you can tell that the author is male by some of the things he uses to describe the women and what he makes them say o.O .. I finished the whole thing in afew hours though, overall an alright book but not really my cup of Milo (hate tea so there Lol)

i absolutley love The little princess, but then i absolutley love Little lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden too.

I find Sara Crewe's story so intriguing and the story always left me thinking about what happened after the book was over, and imagining different things that would happen. And how Mrs Burnett potrays all of the characters, you can really imagine them and they seem to come alive in your mind.

Twilight..
I have no idea why I'm reading it again, perhaps I have nothing better to do with my life.
Next: Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

I need a new book to read apart from re-reading Terry Pratchetts.

I had to stop halfway through Eragon, it was so...boring. LOL, originally typed boing. Hee hee.

Twilight, again.

We read Their Eyes Were Watching God in English, and watched the movie. Halle Berry is so stunning its ridiculous.

Re-reading:
New Moon,
The Night World (Book 1): Daughters of Darkness
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Reading:
The American Journey [Textbook. Rather interesting (=]
This page. (=

I'm re-reading "Alice In Wonderland," by Lewis Carroll

At school I'm reading Coram Boy. I'd get it out, but there's only a week left.

"A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle.

'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon (UK publishers called it Cross Stich though) .. OMG this book is amazing! it's based in 1945 and then way back in 1743 and it is absolutley perfectly written, my stepdad gave it to me to try last night and i really can't put it down! It's the first in what is a series of 7 books so far.

The Blurb on the cover:
The year is 1945. Clair Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honey-moon--when she innocently touches a boulder in oe of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach-an "outlander"- in a Scotland torn by war and rading border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.

Hurtled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life..and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconciliable lives.

I'm 335 pages in, so about another 300 pages to go, and I tottaly reccomend this book to everyone. (:

I just got done reading "Go Ask Alice"
It was sooo good.

Geah - I had a look at that book. I love anything Scottish, might give it a try...

it is an amazing piece of writing, i finished it this morning and i went out and got 5 more in the series from the library this afternoon and am now 200 pages into the 2nd novel. I completley reccomend it to ya, let me know what you think of it

i'm currently reading 'specials' by scott westerfeldt and 'inner circle' by kate brian - both awsome xD

"Let The Right One In" by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Pretty amazing for a vampire book :D

Lord of the flies by William Golding - School, ugh D:
Aaaand Red Rabbit - Tom Clancy

"Sacred Games," by Vikram Chandra, and "Of Love and Other Demons," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Re-reading Night World 3 until I get something new for Christmas. If I finish before then, I'll probably re-read Eragon. Again.

Reading the Third book already in the Outlander series, this novels called "Voyager" and it's by Diana Gabaldon

"Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse.

Double-posting is fun.

"Expensive People" by Joyce Carol Oates.

The High King, by Lloyd Alexander

"For the Relief of Unbearable Urges," by Nathan Englander, "A Passage to India," by E.M. Forster, and "The Age of Innocence," by Edith Wharton.

"Nightlight" (Twilight parody, not sure who the author is) it's extremely funny, and I'm beginning to question Twilight more and more now.

^^ MY GOD I LOVE THAT BOOK!
Me and my friends were reading it and laughing. And laughing. And laughing. My favourite bit is the "How did you know my name was Bella!?" part.

I just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry," by Audrey Niffenegger, and now I'm on the hunt for something new. Until I find another novel, I'll just amuse myself with the work of John Keats, I suppose.

The last few pages of "The High King", by Lloyd Alexander. Anyone else read any of the Taran books?

Started the 6th book of that Outlander Series yesterday so am reading that now, this one's called A breat of snow and ashes and so far its absolutley brilliant as are the rest of the books (155 pages in btw) tottaly reccomend these books to anyone with an interest in one or more of history, scotland, the american revolution, the bonnie 'prince' Charlie, the battle at Culloden , romance, time travelling etc .. absolute perfection! I can't stop raving about em and can hardly manage to put the books down at all ..

^^ What are the Taran books about?

^^Well, have you seen the Disney movie, The Black Cauldron? That is - albeit a stuffed up and extremely bad - adaption of the first two Taran books.

If you haven't, their official name is the Chronicles of Prydain. They're quite typical swords-and-sourcery, Lord of the Rings type fantasy that I would roll my eyes at, IF the author wasn't so good at fleshing out characters, making them original and different from every other fantasy novel out there *coughEragoncough*.

The plotline spans over 6 books and focuses on the Assistant Pig-Keeper of a farm, Taran of Caer Dallben.

Okay, prosy review over

Going to start re-reading Eragon until I get my money back so I can buy new books.

^^ well i don't like lord of the rings at all, but it sounds like its worth checking out .. i'l have a look for it once i've finished the 6th and 7th books of the Outlander Series i'm reading

I bought a new book, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld but I haven't started reading it yet 'cause I should be given my Anthology for English soon. We're doing poetry. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing...

"The House In The Mist" by Anna Katharine Green.

"The Yiddish Policemen's Union" and "Manhood for Amateurs," both by Michael Chabon.

Push by Sapphire.

An Echo in the Bone - Diana Gabaldon (7th book in the Outlander Series)

I'm re-reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," by Douglas Adams for about the millionth time, and occasionally I'll flip through my John Keats poems.

Still reading "Eldest" by Christopher Paolini.

Kinda boring >_>

"The Bostonians," by Henry James and "Main Street," by Sinclair Lewis.

"Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini.

Okay, so I'm not really into Eragon. It's ridiculously cliched, yadda yadda, and I don't think it's worth all the hype around it. And Arya drives me around the bend up the wall crazy.

But Mr. Paolini's skill in writing is definitely improving. I'm actually sensing atmosphere now.

And my god. Roran and Katrina. :lovestruc Need I say any more?

Finishing off Inheritance, and I'm also re-reading Seventh Heaven, by Meg Cabot. OK, her books are really glitzy and teeny-boppy, but I do like her. At least she can create interesting and original characters, unlike a lot of popular teen fiction out there.

"Cyrano de Bergerac," by Edmond Rostand and "An Ideal Husband," by Oscar Wilde.

The Truth About Forever - Sarah Dessen and before that I was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but it's kind of been put on hold.

Both ways is the only way I want by Maile Meloy

Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris

"Talent Is Overrated", by Geoff Colvin.

'Indiana' by George Sands (translated, obviously, sadly I'm not fluent in French).

"The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time" by Mark Haddon. I finally found it :D

Edit: finished with that. Now I'm reading "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams.

^ Dirk Gently's is great. Really weird, but great.

Reading Bones Would Rain from the Sky by Suzanne Clothier. Much lighter dog reading than the stuff on variable reinforcement schedules I've been reading lately! There's only so much technical ethology stuff I can take.

"The English Patient," by Michael Ondaatje, and rereading "The Silmarilion," by J.R.R. Tolkien. I try to always be reading something contemporary and something classic.

I'm halfway through "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. It's so hard to put down, and I barely have any free time!

'Max' of the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. The first two books were amazing and then... downhill. The next one (6?) is out now, so I want to finish book 5.
A little bit like torture...

'Red Rabbit' by Tom Clancy.

Just finished "Calculating God", by Robert J. Sawyer.

Just finished reading "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams for English class- such a beautifully written play! All of the characters are incredibly well presented, although they are somewhat stereotypical.

On my own time, I'm rereading "This is All", by Aidan Chambers. God, I love that book.

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.

Im reading the classics at the moment.
Fanny Hill by John Cleland and Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

One Is One, by a person whose name escapes me.

I love historical fiction. I loveloveloveloveloveit.

Wow, I sound like a nerd.

for who those people who hate twilight do not read this lol
i do not love it and i do not hate it but i like it.

i am reading - Eclipse , the making of new moon,and bella from twilights bio , and spilenter by someone i forgot

The Phoenix Requiem, a graphic novel by Sarah Ellerton (I think I got the name right...). It's addictive. And I'm in love with Jonas.

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Joyce Meyer's Approval Addiction.

"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. My dad gave it to me, it's a beautiful hardcover edition. Getting it made me ridiculously happy :lovestruc .

"The Girl on the Fridge" by Etgar Keret. OH MY GOD IT'S SO AMAZING. I've only read two or three stories so far (it arrived literally 5 minutes ago,) and I'm more than impressed.

I LOVE IT. It is amazing. But, you know, Jonas is mine.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Manhood for Amateurs, Wonder Boys, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, Gentlemen of the Road, Werewolves in their Youth, and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, all by Michael Chabon. The final project for my AP Literature class is to prove the literary merit of a contemporary author, and I'm quite excited to do a paper on him.

Adrian Mole: From Minor to Major by Sue Townsend.
It's the first 10 years of his diaries, including previously unpublished extracts. This must be the 5th time I've read the Adrian Mole books. They are just so GOOD.

I'm reading: In Stitches by Dr.Nick Edwards.

Amusing Book, (:

I read the Adrian Mole books years ago and LOVED them! They're just so funny, the way he tries to thinks of himself as an intellectual but is a bit dim a lot of the time is hilarious. I really should read them again.

I'm halfway through The Shining (need to keep going with that), a few chapters into 1984, a few pages into Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs, I also started The Host by SMeyer (mainly to see if it was any better than Twilight, but haven't got far). I keep picking books up and starting them then moving onto something else without finishing the previous one. I finished The Lovely Bones this morning; that was good, very sad but not in a weepy way.

Right now I'm reading Evermore by, again, someone I don't know.

Alright, you can have Jonas. But I'll have Robyn.

I am reading so many books right now:

* The Eyre Affair, Jasper Fforde
* The Fourth Bear, Jasper Fforde
* The Host, Stephenie Meyer
* Shadow Kiss, Richelle Mead
* The Circle and the Cross, Caiseal Mor

"The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & other stories" by Etgar Keret.

On top of all those books I posted before, I'm also reading bits of Real Girls' Stories. It's part of the girlosophy series and it's gorgeous.

Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater. It is an amazing book. I'm addicted! It sort reminds me of twilight with the whole girl falls in love with supernatural boy thing. Except twilight is horrible and this book is fantastic! Unlike twilight, it has a wonderful, exciting plot, likeable characters and the writing is actually good. In the past 24 hrs i have read 340 pages of the 370-390 page book (cant remember exactly) and i have been at school for twelve of those hours, plus 4 hrs for getting to and from school

Uglies (for the 6th time)- This is an amasing trilogy. So awesome. They might be making a movie about it which is really cool.
Harry Potter and the goblet of fire (for the 7th time)- It's Harry potter. I just love these books. I swear I'm a freak
Leftovers (for the 4th time)- great book. I love it. so real and dark.
The giver- This is a new book. I am in love with it. It's a book about a distopia where everything is the same, and all colors are gone. It's really good

I'm still reading Adrian Mole, but now I'm also reading Alice in Wonderland.
Because I've never actually read past chapter 2 - I just gave up and watched the 3 movie versions I have on video.

Sleeping Murder - Agatha Christie

Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen

I'm re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for the 12th time at the moment. I just can't get sick of it!

Also, I really like The Giver. It's quite creepy, but wonderful.

I've finally finished "Bones Would Rain from the Sky", now I'm reading "The Portable Atheist", compiled by Christopher Hitchens. Awesome stuff

Betrayed - A House Of Night Novel -- by P.C. and Kristin Cast

"Harry Potter á l'École des Sorciers." It's such a rewarding read :D

Threadcromancy!

I'm reading Paul Harding's Tinkers, Michael Ondaatje's Anil's Ghost, and Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore.

Well, I've since finished both of my books and Through The Looking Glass.
I'm now reading Adrian Mole: The Cappucino Years and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (it works wonders for my insomnia).

i am reading breaking dawn by Stephnie Meyer
i only finshed the one before this one this morning lol

Green For Danger by Christianna Brand. Her dialogue is terrible, but I want to finish it.

I'm reading a serie called "The Uglies Serie" The books are following: Uglies, Pretties, Specials and Extras. I'll start on Extras today.

And OMG, it's absolutely the best books I've ever read! It's amazing! It's in the future, it's like Oh I can't explain! You must read it..

Unfortunately, I'm not really reading at the moment. I don't have much tiiiime anymore, and the spare time I do have I spend writing instead :S But I had to read Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey, and it was amazing. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't normally a fan of Australian literature.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night Time," by Mark Haddon, "Amplitude: Collected Poems," by Tess Gallagher, and "The Lieutenant of Inishmore," by Martin McDonagh. One novel, one collection of poems, and one play; I'm spreading myself around this week .

"Frostbite" from the Vampire Academy series,
"Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
