Just kind of curious, what did you think of To Kill A Mockingbird?

Ah, To Kill A Mockingbird... one of my favourites. I have no idea why, it doesn't fall into any of my favourite genres, but it's so simple and... wholesome? Luckily the novel study we did on it in school didn't ruin it for me. Same with the Golden Compass.
Also, I just finished reading the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Amazing.

The Hunger Games were great. I just wish they spent less time dealing with the love triangle. I find it hard to imagine being in their place with our lives and the freedom of the world at stake constantly, and being concerned about who smooched whom.

In the middle of "Farewell My Lovely" by Raymond Chandler. At times it's impossible to understand what's going on, but it's really about the rollicking prose and the one-liners.

I think that I'll try reading those books as they seem really good.

Reading this, again. It's so affirming, especially for a deeply religious nonbeliever, like me.

_{oh, and I read Hard Times, again, for like the 5th time. I love that effin book xD}

Those of you who are big AR fans, what did you think of Scorpia Rising? While I've largely outgrown the series, I still found it to be a fitting end.

I thought it was great. I wasn't all too interested right away at the start,but once Boo came in I really started liking it. I really enjoyed it.

I love Dawkins. His can be a bit standoffish (or he was at the event I saw him at), but other than that he's fantastic.

I was just kind of curious. I disliked it both times I read it

Ah,really? I'm not even into classic literature that much. Well to each his own I suppose. It's your choice.

I'm not currently reading anything, but I think I'm going to see if my school library has East by Edith Pattou tomorrow. I've heard that it's really good.

I'm not currently reading anything either, though I have a new copy of "Neuromancer" staring me in the face @_@

I finished "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest" not too long ago. Now I'm reading Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke.

I prefer Alexandre Dumas' historical fiction, ever since I found there was a follow up to the three musketeers I've been trying to find more books by him and recently finished reading "Georges". I just can't seem to get behind reading modern fiction though, I think I like my books to have a bit of a history of their own. That and the classics can be quite inexpensive at some bookstores.

Went to the library today and picked up Sabriel by Garth Nix and East by Edith Pattou.

I'm reading a book that compiles a ton of lost interviews with The Beatles. Really fantastic stuff

I recommend you read my current draft of my book. You don't have to, but it'd be cool if you did.

Got a kindle for my birthday last Thursday. Guess who's downloaded over 70 books for free since then?

Picked up Tina Fey's new book. I haven't started reading it yet, but I can't imagine that it won't be hilarious.
