I'm reading Yves Bonnefoi, Les Planches courbes. In this book, there's a mix of poems and stories.
What can I say, it's really boring but it's a lil good Rolling Eyes

The War of the Worlds
The Lord of the Flies
Carrie
The Green Mile
Goosebumps Series (childish yeah but still nice to read)

after playing a bit in the soon to be LotR mmorpg, my passion for the lore was piqued again. so i went to borders and picked up a set of the books. i finished reading The Hobbit over winter break and am just finishing up The Fellowship of the Ring.

it's been something like 5 or 6 years since i last read this series, and i'm still blown away by their sheer epicness (goober in me getting excited ^^)

I don't think I've seen this thread before.... but anyway

Over the long summer holidays I had the urge to re-read the harry potter series. Taking my time and I'm currently up to the 4th book, I still enjoy as much as I did when I was 11~ >.< and also waiting for when they release the 7th book.

Right now im reading the last book of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, its a series of 7 books, listed down here:

Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger
Dark Tower II: Drawing of the Three
Dark Tower III: The Wastelands
Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower

Im on page 200 out of the 1000+ pages paperback edition. I just gotta say that it is a really great story, and it uses various characters from other of the Stephen King's many novels. If you dont mind reading 7 books that vary from 215 pages to 1000+, than you should read this series RIGHT NOW!!!!

I picked up a book by George Carlin called Napalm and Silly Putty, mostly because if its title. I thought it was cool. As I read it, I come to learn that Carlin is nothing more than a cynical, angry old man who for some reason wrote this book just to bitch about life. I mean the man even has bad things to say about putting on a seat belt......I dont find him funny at all, minus a very few segments, and I its an ever rarer occasion when I agree with him on anything. All in all, a ginourmous waste of time and money.

recently finished lovely bones by alice sebold

i heard about it from a few friends who said it was a total tear
jerker, personally i didn't cry once. or really feel bad... despite
its some what "graphic" scenes. [contrary to the cute title there's
rape and such].

overall i'd say its a weird book that has a pretty cool
concept, especially the fact that it starts AFTER she's dead.

i wouldn't recommend it, but yet i wouldn't not recommend it... its ok.

now i'm on to reading: 1984 by steve orwell
