Oooh, do you like? I love that book. Still on Spindle's End by McKinley, which is Sleeping Beauty. She's an amazing writer.

Well, I WAS going to say that I was sadly NOT reading anything.
But then I remembered, I AM!
Sort of. I've gotten like 50 pages in. And that was ... errr ... a week ago.
Anyway, I'm reading (in my very little spare time) "The First Eagle" by Tony Hillerman!
WOOO! I love Tony Hillerman and his Chee/Leaphorn novels.

I'm almost done with "Atonement"....however, it's taken me forever, because I'm also trying to finish "A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict" and "A Concise History of the Middle East", both of which are for classes.....
However, once I'm finished with Atonement, and my required reading, I'll be starting "Memoirs of a Geisha"

Still reading "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, which, as much as I hate to admit is, is rather good and actually fairly easy to understand. If I said this in my English class though I'm pretty sure they would disembowel me with something.
"I am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak, who at this point is getting pretty close to winning the "Best Author I've Ever Read" award
"Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk

Give me malice.

Give me detached existentialist ennui.

Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.

I agree, but it's still amazing. And you should definitely go reply to the long thing I wrote about The Book Thief on the last page.

The "A Typical Hans Hubermann Artwork" is one of the best things ever. Oh my god, it is so amazing. Quite possibly my favorite book, and I haven't even finished. The way Zusak writes is unbelievably poetic, and so vivid. I love Max. I don't think I've been so emotionally invested in a book character in years.
That is one of the most amazing, lyrical books ever written. I love it immediately and always. I didn't cry at all while reading it, but after I finished, I just curled up for hours and sobbed. The book was so emotion, too intensely emotional for words. I really need to buy a copy of it.
A Tale of Two Cities! Favorite classic literature ever... Sydney Carton is... gah. Words can't describe him.
I'm rereading <i>The Thief</i> by Megan Whalen Turner. Oh, I do love Eugenides. How can such an immature hero be so lovable?

Eugenides is AMAZING. I love him. He sorta reminds me of The Phantom, actually.

Angels & Demons. Have I already said that in here? Oh well. I've already it, but I'm reading it for my English Independent Book Project. Love it.

Yeah, I love Dan Brown. I have all of his books. It has been a while since I've read any of his books, so once I'm done with Angels & Demons, I think I'm going to go back and read his books.

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. I'd say that read if you don't have anything other to read... I think the only book that's not from Weis and Hickman is Dalamar the Dark.
Now reading Book of the Dead by Patricia Cornwell
