I just finished reading Next, {Michael Crichton}, which I enjoyed. It's sort of hard to read because they talk about all of this fancy genetics sciences, and that they jump around a lot, but I still thought it was really neat; the mixture of fiction and non-fiction, how all of the different character's stories combine in the end...but, that's just me.
Other than that, the only two books I've read within the past few months (that's not a magazine, short story, or graphic novel) are The Devil's Arithmetic {Jane Yolen} for English class, and Jane Eyre {Charlotte Brontė} for a book report.
Books I'm planning on reading:
-The Third Policeman {Brian O'Nolan}
-The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy {Douglas Adams}
-Wuthering Heights {Emily Brontė}
-Night {Elie Wiesel}
-Flowers for Algernon (novel version) {Daniel Keyes}
-Sphere {Michael Crichton again, lol}
-whatever stuff i feel like fffffffffffff
I'll probably wind up reading some of the stuff you guys are posting, too. I've gotten really into reading lately... |

Started reading Artemis Fowl.
This is the shit. Not just shit, THE shit. Which means it's good.
Also reading the Bartimaeus Trilogy, which is also awesome. |

I. personally, found the atheist themes getting a little anvilicious towards the end... |
I agree. The first book was wonderful, the second was okay, and the third I thought, "WTF?" |
