I have to read 2 books for Intro to Lit and Comp X...yippee.

I was reading this book that was a "continuation of Pride and Prejudice" buttttt i'm getting bored with it.

I just started Dispatches From the Edge by Anderson Cooper

ps. Molly I LOVED The Devil Wears Prada!

I used to love tamora pierce!

To Kill A Mocking Bird


to audition for the play

I was reading "A Great and Terrible Beauty" but I kinda got bored after chpt. 27.

YAY! It's such a good book! I am totally in love with it. :mrgreen:

I'm reading "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" for the 100000th time. I love that book.

The Devil Wears Prada is so spiffy! I can't wait to see the movie

I just finished reading The Devil Wears Prada it was soo good!

I'm reading MY SISTERS KEEPER for my summer reading. It's really really good!

Son of a Witch, Till We Have Faces by CSLewis, The Dragonlance series...I wanna read The Devil Wears Prada now!

I'm reading "The Oz Chronicles" but they get boring sometimes, so I'm gonna start reading "Les Miserables" the unabridged version.

[insert book that daisy is not reading here.]


I really need to get something to read. Darn it. Any suggestions?

Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund. ITS AMAZING!

Read "The Giver" or "Gathering Blue."
Or for a little more of a challenge, try to read what I'm gonna read.

Les mis is very long. Bleck. I might attempt at it. Just might.

Well, I don't feel like reading any of my 200+ books, and I'm not sure which new books I want to buy, so I'm reading one of my Ultimate Spider-Man graphic novels in the meantime. :ha:

Just finished (as in, about five minutes ago) The Inn at the Edge of the World by Alice Thomas Ellis, and now I'm starting The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay.

The Inn at the Edge of the World is about this group of tourists from England who go to an island off the coast of Scotland during the Christmas holidays because they're sick of Christmas, and while they're there some mysterious things start happening. Like most of Ellis' books, there's not much action and a looot of character development, introspection and stuff like that. I really enjoyed it, as I enjoy most of her books.

The Last Light of the Sun is, from what I gather, sort of an alternative fantasy slash history set in the time of the Vikings. Confusing, yes? Not really. It's set on a continent that is like Europe but not really, hence fantasy, and it takes place during the time of the Vikings, hence history. I read another one of Kay's books, The Lions of Al-Rassan, that takes place on the same continent but in the South, and I reaaally like his style of writing. If you like fantasy and history but can't decide which you like better, Kay is the author for you!

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants: The Sencond Summer of the Sisterhood

:ha:

well I just finished Wicked:TL&T and next im prolly gonna read Stargirl ugggh summer reading.

I tried reading Les Mis last summer and got about three chapters in before I stopped :ha:

I read Stargirl a few years ago, I really liked it.

the grimmerie COUGH! im only looking at the pictures COUGH! :disagree:

Ya my Honors English teacher read it to us for this read aloud thing and since I know what its about im just gonna read it again.

I'm rotating b/w Anthony Rapp's "Without You" (which I own) and Maguire's "Son of a Witch," which is from the library. I am not really getting into SoaW like I did Wicked... I just don't find it as interesting. Hopefully I will get more into it though. Anthony's book is amazing. It makes me cry. It's definitely worth a read for RENT fans and/or Anthony fans.

So it's definately worth it? I heard it was GREAT and want to get this book and take it with me next week for my LOOONG flight. And read the rest of my book report book (Wicked) which I never finished, but wrote a book report on. :ha:

EDIT: Just bought it off of Amazon! :rock:

I'm reading 9 books at the same time and I have to read/skim them by tonight because I have 9 pages of writing to do for a project that's due tomorrow. Hence my name, ZeProcrastinator...

ewewwthe giver?! lol i HATED that book it was so dry and boring, i had to reqad it for english class last year!

The Giver and Gathering Blue are brilliantly written. They are two of my favorite books.

Louis Lowry is one of my favorite authors. You didn't have to say eww....
Next time, could you say something more like, "I'm sorry, I read those books for school and I did not enjoy them much, but you have the right to enjoy them." Have a nice day. :mrgreen:

I'm reading Uglies right now, I just finished Son of a Witch.

aww elphaba/belle im soo sorry!!!!! i didnt mean to offend you :oops:

ooh sorry that was me lol forgot to log in YET AGAIN!!!

I just finished "My Sister's Keeper" and "The Pact" (both by Jodi Picoult) so now I'm reading her other really good book, "Keeping Faith." I love Jodi Picoult soooo much!!

Zoya's Story: An Afghan Woman's Struggle for Freedom.. It's an amazing book. For something fun to read just for the sake of reading after all the forced reading of text books and case studies all school year, anything by Tamora Pierce

Whoever stopped reading A Great and Terrible Beauty at ch. 27...WHY!? lol...I loved that book...

The Giver is a BEAUTIFUL book! I read it in 8th grade! I had to read it in class, but I read ahead and finished it in a day.

Jodi Picoult is an awesome author. The sophmores (soon to be juniors) have to read My Sister's Keeper this summer.

I LOVE UGLIES! I love that whole series! I read Uglies and Pretties, I'm waiting for my friend to finish Specials so I can read it!

I am currently reading The Secret Life of Bees, it's my book for summer reading...it's really good so far. My mom tried to make me read it a long time ago, but I didn't feel like it. So now I am! lol.

da vinci code! in hebrew!!!!

i just got done with the life of pi
it was really good. you all should read it.

but then i needed a fun summer book so i just started confessions of a shopaholic. perfect for laying in the sun!

I have to read it for my sophmore honors class. It's amazing!

The Secret Life of Bees is one of my FAVORITE books!!! I love it! Its so so so good.

You know i tried reading the life of Pi and i just couldn't get into it.

I'm currently reading "Wicked: Life and Times of the WW of the West" i decided i should read the book before going to see the show (if i ever make it to chicago to see it).

the last book i tried to read (i can't even remember the name of it) was so crazy i couldn't understand what was even going on (it was some sci-fi/techie novel) it was just my filler book until "wicked" came back to the library anyways.

i started it in like 6th grade and it was really boring so i stopped. when i read it recently i discovered that its just the beginning that is boring. i kept reading and it got pretty good!

hmm... i want to read a good fun summer book... any suggestions?

I just finished The Giver. I didn't HATE IT hate it, but I probably wouldn't read it again ever. it was just a little too weird for my taste, ya know? it's like....there was a really good story in there somewhere, but I couldn't get past the weirdness of it. (I did, however, finish it in 1 day lol)

I also finished reading the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. funny!

and now I'm reading a book called "The Phantom of Manhatten" it's the "sequal" to the POTO.

That's Megan's favorite book..

Sounds interesting.. what's it about?
