mmmm Oscar Wilde. what a coolguy.

uh presently i am engaged with Labyrinths by Borges, rather i am trying to wrap my mind around him and make a dent in it.

Ugh, I've got to read this book Sophie's World for my stupid AP English Class next year... It's about western philosophy. I hate philosophy. Especially western philosophy.

OMG I LOVE THAT BOOK!! That has to be one of my favorite books not by my favorite authors.

I just started Nineteen Eighty Four. It comes highly recomended from my parents, and so far it's good.

What do you guys think of it?

And for the love of Pete, no spoilers.

I've been so ADD when it comes to books lately. Whenever I finish one, I go all Jim Gaffigan on everyone. "FINISHED MY BOOK! Finished it! Hah! Read the whole thing, every page! Can't touch this!"

Right now I'm reading Everything is Illuminated, and it is really good. It's a fun coffee-shop read, actually. If there were any cool coffee shops around here open right now, I'd so be sitting in there reading it.

Get out of my mind! I LOVe those things! I have a bunch of 'em, including one that got mutilated, and Thr Book of the Dumb. I actually keep them in cars so that I have something to read in the car.

I've been meaning to read that for a while now. I need to get into the right state of mind first, it doesn't look like a thick book but it's a heavy topic.

I'm still reading Doomsday Book. I've been too distracted with life and my old RPG books to read novels at my normal pace.

I abandoned Interview.... It's just not a summer read.

Moved on to Pretty Things by Sara Manning. Guitar Girl had me disappointed in her, but this one seems nice. Besides, she sounds like a White Stripes fan, so all is forgiven.

I finally read Hitchhiker's Guide yesterday. Now I have to go get all the other books...

i am the messenger, Markus Zusak

Yay for books in present tense!

I am now reading The Count of Monte Cristo for my Advanced English class next year. *yawn*. There's a ton of foreign grammar. Do they expect us to learn British grammar too?

No, I lied. I'm never going to have a good sig. So just forget about it.

I finally, finally, finally finished slogging through The Summer Tree. Uuuuugh. I'm selling this book and never looking at it ever again. Sorry, DG, I just found it utterly horrible.

Currently reading Revenge of the Shadow King. I don't remember Oberon being evil. And it makes me want to play Yu-Gi-Oh.

The last book I read was Bart Simpson's Guide to Li-

Um, the last REAL book I read was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. There's a reason that book won an award.

And no, it's not because the cover happens to be red.

Hush...

Anywho, I'm reading The Compleat Bolo by Keith Laumer. Junk science fiction about killer tanks running amok and causing mass property damage, etc. Actually it's not as bad as bad as I thought it would be for a book that has the fancy spelling of 'complete' on the same cover as a tank bursting through a concrete wall.

I'm re-reading one of my favorite novels.

A Little Princess -By Frances Burnett.

I'm still reading the Magician's Nephew, mostly because I cannot find time to read it.

But I'm going to read that book and move on to something else - I'm ghinking Gregor The Overlander. I don't want to read the newxt few Narnia's right now because sometihng about them just doesn't seem right....

I also don't want to read these books next:

-The second Bartimaues book, because it's friggin' long!
-Eragon, because it's REALLY friggin' long!

Along with those and Narnia, my my summer book list includes:

-Charlie Bone and The Hidden King(Book Five)
-Gregor and The Prophecy of Bane(Book Two)
-Gregor and The Curse of The Warmbloods(Book Three)
-Gregor and The Marks of Secrets(Book Four)
-Eldest(psh, like I'm finishing Eragon anyways!)
...and I only have one of those.

That spelling of "complete" needs to DIE. Seriously. It is the most awkward looking word I think I have EVER encountered. Whoever authorized letting that be put on the covers of books must be mentally challenged...
