books.
what are you currently reading?
talk about and maybe some else here is reading the same book you are
anyway

im currently Reading 'House Of Leaves'

Never heard of it.

I'm currently re-reading the Tears of Artamon trilogy, by Sarah Ash. I love it!

I'm finishing Frantic Transmissions to and from Los Angeles: An Accidental Memoir by Kate Braverman and starting Iceland by Jim Krusoe.

finished Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. probably the best books ive read. in the middle of Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. its intense!

I'm currently reading Tuesdays With Morrie.
Excellent book. I recommend it to everyone.
You'll need it, trust me.
I'm also reading a cook called
Dial L For Loser which is such a cheesy book
about snobby rich girls and they're lives.
I'm only reading it for school.

For the 12th time ... im reading Jurassic Park

the count of monte cristo.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

house of leaves
is intense and i love how its two stories in one
and if u havent read this book before i suggest you go and get it
and u wont ever board w/ this book it'll make u not want to put it done

I wanna read Tuesdays With Morrie someday. I have a lot of things I wanna read though. And a pile of books I need to start or finish. And I keep buying more because I'm a fool.

im reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens for English class. fun fun fun. <<< (i didnt know about this smiley!!!!!!!!!!)

THE BOOK FRICKING MAKES ME FALL ASLEEP. ><"

AHH! books by Mitch Albom = <3
i havent read Tuesdays With Morrie, but i have read The Five People You Meet In Heaven (AWESOME book) and For One More Day (ANOTHER awesome book).

I think that next I'll read Animal Farm, by George Orwell. The first time I read it, I was 12, and don't think I gleaned the same understanding from it that I would now. Maybe afterwards I'll read 1984.

haha i know how u feel.. i read that last year... i dont like charles dickens.. his books never really interest me...

We never had to read the whole charles dickens books before,
but the excerpts that we've had to read where ridiclously boring.

Um...I was reading "Speak" (Can't remember the author) for reading class. We're supposed to read it together, but I guess I'm a fast reader, because I finished the book in two days or so. They got mad 'cause I'd be about fifty pages ahead of them. xD
Speak is surprisingly funny. I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but so far its been my favorite book this year. The story is about a high-school girl who dosnt like to talk. The entire school hates her because she called the cops on the big end-of-summer party and so many people got introuble that they all hate her. Its telling about how she goes through the year, and its quite funny the way she describes things. The school mascot fight is funny, too. xD

ick, trust me, you dont want to. the plotline's okay i guess, but its just so darn slow...

You should read it soon, you'll like it.
I'm almost done with mine but I feel like I still have so much to learn from it.






I read Animal Farm when I was about 14.
I really enjoyed it but I think I would
understand it more now, too.

I loved Speak! I read it in middle school. Did you know they made a Lifetime movie out of it?

i just finished magical thinking and running with scissors both by augusten burroughs.

for my birthday my mom ordered me possible side effects (also by augusten burroughs) but its not here yet.

good author im guessing

I'm re-reading New Moon by Stephenie Meyers for about the 9th time in two days, and Twilight is right behind it an 7 times.

i'm frickin addicted. :\

amazing. he's funny without trying too hard and he's good at telling stories.

I am reading the book *soul of fire* its a fantasy book I am on the 5th one.

I'm reading Daughters of Fortune by Isabel Allende. It was apparently an Oprah's Book Club book. Its based in Chile and Cali during the Gold Rush.

frankenstein.....i am reading it for the first time in my life for my "history of frankenstein" class. i think it will be my favorite class this quarter.

I'm re-reading Bleed by Lauria Faria Stolarz and Tithe by Holly Black.
Holly is SO amazing. I want to read that one book, City Of Bones, but I don't know the author.

started reading that a while ago... couldnt get into it. =/

Uh, you're on the internet. Look it up.

Well actually, when I posted that I was at school and a lot of stuff is blocked. I can't even go on most band sites. So far I've only managed AFS and Thursday.

Augusten Burroughs is an amazing author. so far, the only thing i have NOT read by him is Sellivision, his fiction book. I love all his memoris. i agree with whoever said he's funny without really trying to be. it's very true. he's a great author.


What i'm reading at the moment is Post Office by Charles Bukowski.
it's a pretty fast read. not too bad of a book either.

And i'm also reading The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. another brillaint author. so far the book is really good.

does this help?

^ (clicky the linky! you know you want tooooo)

I finished reading tuesdays with morrie

I've been re-reading the catcher in the rye alot

I anotated my copy

best and hardest book ever

Good lord, I hated Catcher in the Rye.

just curious, why did you hate it?

When I was forced to read it in High School, they said it was banned in a lot of schools ... so I was excited to read it and after I read it ... I was wishing it was banned at our school. Not that great of a book and overall, just boring to read

I didn't have to read it for school. I just read it. I don't really remember that many details of the book. It wasn't horrible, but not amazing either...

sorry, i'm talking about Catcher in the rye.

Ugh, everytime I see this topic I get so frustrated cuz I can't remember the name of the book I'm reading. It's probably because I'm not too into it.

Someone should suggest some books for me, because I've really been in the mood for reading the past few weeks.

How could you not know the name of the book your reading ... its right on the cover and you have to pick it up and read it everytime you do ... so, shouldnt you see the title of the book?

Well, first and foremost because Holden is a fucking crybaby.

Mostly though I think it's because I read it in college instead of high school. It's much more of a book for high schoolers to relate to, I think. So many people talk it up and they're like oh my god you're just like Holden and when I read it I was like wow, I seriously hope I'm not like that. I mean, storywise it's ok. Nothing special really. I just can't stand Holden's incessant whining.



What kind of books?

Because I JUST started it the other day, and honestly I don't find it too interesting, so I guess I just don't care enough to remember. It's also not a book I picked out or anything. One of my friends handed it to me &said "Read this!"



Basically anything aside from fantasy. Preferably something that's easy to get into.

Iceland by Jim Krusoe
The Los Angeles Diaries by James Brown
Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn
The Kiss by Kathryn Harris
Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo

books to read?

I love Nick Hornby: About a Boy or A long Way down are really good books!

if you are AT ALL interested in what happened at columbine and beforehand, then read No easy answers: the truth behind death at columbine by brooks brown and rob merritt.

it's pretty amazing and really informative i think. it also comes from a neat perspective...b/c Brooks was friends with Eric and Dylan, though NO, he does not agree at all about what they did. Eric used to attack him actually....you'll see if you read it. i love it.


what else? hmm...I love Jodi Picoult books. the pact and my sister's keeper are good...

if you like classics, The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde was good...

a couple of my friends have read Twilight and New Moon. They're coming out with Eclipse this summer. and i think its edward's version of things.. or they're gonna put out a third one on Bella's side. but nevertheless, eclipse is going to come out, and its edward's version of the events.
i've never read them because i have to realllllyy want to read something or else i just sorta forget about it and cant get into it, no matter how amazing hte book is.

i read Crank, which was phenomenal. i loved it.
i want to read Impulse next, then Burned.
its impossible to stop reading Ellen's books.
they're so addicting. i love it.

some other really good books are Rainbow Boys, Rainbow High, and Rainbow Road.
they're by Alex Sanchez and they're about gay guys.
its really cool.hahahah.

I'm currently reading Hairstyles of the Damned.

soo good
has anyone else read it?

i loved it.

I read hairstyles of the damned. i kept wanting to stop reading it through a lot of it, but i wanted to finish it so i did. i loved the end, but overall, didn't really like it.

My best friend's favorite author is Nick Hornby, actually. So I've read About A Boy already But I'll definitely look into the other one. She probably has it, so getting ahold of it will be even easier. Thanks!




Thanks a bunch! I'll look into t hose soon.

Johnny Got His Gun is possibly the saddest book I've ever read.

Just got done reading Odd Thomas and Forever Odd by Dean Koontz. Waiting on finding Brother Odd to end the series. Damn store is sold out.

Oh wow, that's fascinating.
It took me 2 days to read it once!!
But i'm not an a big reader, and me actually reading something is something pretty extraordinary. So with that said, it MUST be a great book... and it is.

But I am currently reading New Moon.
The 2nd book in the Stephenie Meyer series.



No, eclipse isn't edwards view.

Thats going to be called Midnight Sun or something.

=]

i didn't like that series much. the writing left something to be desired.
