Books you are reading

Hawthorne is amazing! What are you talking about Don!

He's hands down my favorite writer of the time period, followed by Poe. (The only reason he comes in second is cause he didn't really write novels so much as poetry and short stories)

Rappucinni's Daughter and the Birthmark compared thematically to the Scarlett Letter are simply amazing!!!!!

Okay, anyways...now that I'm off my bend about the Romantic time period in American Lit...

lol

I've just decided to undertake the rereading of the entire Merry Gentry series by Laurell K Hamilton in anticipation of Stroke of Midnight which comes out in April! Yay!!

Literacy is a disease.

lol. Something like that.

I love to read. And I'm such a bibliophile it's out of control. I wish I had more money to buy more books.

Ah books...I love them

I would rather buy a new book than buy a pair of shoes. If you knew how addicted to shoes I am, one would understand how very serious a statement that is. Lol.

I love giving books and getting them and buying them and most of all...the smell and feel of them.

Sigh...

Books...

After school ends I have a reading list that will take me all summer to get through, beginning with Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, rereading the Count of Monte Cristo, the entire Chronicles of Narnia, Lolita, Crime and Punishment and a slew of other stuff. I wonder if I'll be able to get through it all.

i used to read a lot, then i started coming here, and now i get my daily does of literacy from here. and english.

started rereading the redwall series by Brian Jacques. i thoughly enjoy it

just started to read "War and Peace" by L.Tolstoy in my russian class - boy, its really hard !!!

Tell me how you like it, I've been meaning to read that too. It's on that massive summer list.

I've read excerpts, but never the whole thing.

The 5 people you meet in heaven

Just checked out these:

Noam Chomsky

- Fateful Triangle

- Keeping the Rabble in Line

- The New Military Humanism

Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe

A People's History of the United States - Howard Zinn

And Hamlet for English. :|

I'll be renewing for a while.

I've just started 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' by George Orwell

It's alright but a little slow at the moment . . .

I`ve read Illuminati and now I will read Sakrileg.

Night - Elie Wiesel

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This is a good book, I personally suggest grabbing a copy and reading it. It's only about 100 pages, but it gets across what it's meant to in those 100 or so pages.

I need to get back into reading more often again. I haven't read anything in months. I think maybe I'll start reading something today, or tonight. Maybe I'll read Paradise Lost finally.

Actually I'll probably end up reading Watership Down or something.

Very slowly.

Milton's paradise lost is amazing!

I just finished Stroke of Midnight by Laurell K Hamilton. It's the fourth book in the Merry series, for anyone that follows them.

American Pastoral and The Plot Against America:A Novel, both by Phillip Roth. Really really awesome books. American Pastoral won the pulitzer in '97

The Plot Against America is on every major book critics top five books of the year. They're great reads. Highly recommend them

New Webster's Dictionary of the English Language

you're reading the dictionary?

Well not exactly 'reading'....it's more like perusing.....I like to review the definition of words I find interesting....even words I think I know....words I should know....so I 'read' my dictionary 5-10 mins almost every day... been doing it for years....strange huh??

peruse--to read through carefully or critically

I'm about to start reading Are You Experienced? by Noel Redding and Carol Appleby. It's a biography of the rock band called The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Finished Hamlet. Loved it.

Now onto "Things Fall Apart," "A People's History of the United States," and a Latin textbook.

"The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene

It's quantum physics for the lay person and is totally rocking my view of the universe. (that sounded really nerdy)

Just got finished reading SW Episode III by Stover. Thinking about going back and reading the Bourne books again.
