Right now I'm reading A Box of Unfortunate Events: The Trouble Begins (Books 1-3: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window) by Lemony Snicket

Not bad, really.

I'm also reading a lot of fanfiction

The Potion Master's Daughter by OrphenEritus

Three Gryffindors and a Baby by Celeste

Yeah, it's Harry Potter fanfiction...

Spider-Man 2 the novel. Better than the movie by far.

it may seem corny to some but im reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...again

as for Manga...
Azumanga Daioh
Created by Kiyohiko Azuma

and for normal books...
Ninja Shadowhand: The Art of Invisibility
by Dr. Hana Lung & Christopher Prowant

I am currently reading this thread...

I am currently reading river of blue fire by Tad williams which is the second book in the OTHERLAND series. I finished the first ages ago but I couldn`t find this one so I `ve had to wait months to find out what happens next but I read many others in the mean time. All of the Dune books and the prequels and a couple of stephen Kings books and many many more.

I read way tooo much, but I love it!!!!!

I just finished The Hobbit...it was ok, but didnt compare to LOTR. The adventures are a bit repetative, in that they keep stupidly getting in trouble, the Hobbit is either left behind or uses his ring to escape, and then he rescues the dwarves, who are appreciative for about five minutes, then it happens all over again. once they actually get to the mountain its pretty good. I wont ruin it any more, for anyone who hasnt read it yet.

Also, it is titled there and back again, but the whole book is about the journey 'there', with like half a chapter about coming back again. How rude.

Now im reading George Orwell's 1984...so far im not liking it, but im not very far into it. i'll let y'all know what i think when im done.

Today I read this book about UFO's it was weird. We were at this local bookstore usuallyif you can read in the store I will just read and not buy the books. Like I did it was a good book, but I forgot the name.

I have to read Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen. It's really interesting. I'm not HUGE on historical reads, and it is going a bit slow because I'd rather visit with my mother than do my history homework for next year. . . . But it covers the historical omittions/lies that textbooks used in middle school/high school/college have, and thus the incorrect information that has been engraved into our brains about US history. It really hits on racial issues such as the misrepresentation of blacks and Native Americans, and the heroification of (mainly white) US historical figures by wiping them clean of faults.

Later I plan to read Beloved by Toni Morrison and The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. (Not to mention the other three books I have waiting for me back in California.)

Yay for school imposed summer reading.

Right now I'm reading The Two Towers, and before that I read the DaVinci Code

Conversations with God - Book 2

Potentially the best book Ive ever read....besides book 1;)

Much recommended to everyone.

I'm re-readed Meg by Steve Alten. Its not the best writen book in the world, in fact the grammar is insanely basic. But its enjoyable.

I'm off work next week so during that time I intend to re-read the Hobbot and re-read DragonLance Chronicles Vol 1-3. ALL insanely good books!

nice siggy you have their Talon S! (the bottom pic)

A Natural History of the Unnatural World: Selected Files from the Archives of the Cryptozoological Society of London by Joel Levy

Not bad... I guess. The illustrations are good. The info, on the other hand, is... questionable.

Still entertaining.

I'm reading the Two Towers, I really should have read it before I saw the movie but I didn't. It is quite possibly the best book I've ever read.

Deadly Innocence- The True Story Of Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka andt the Schoolgirl Murders - by Scott Burnside & Alaan Cairns

I'm reading Arthur by Stephen Lawhead at the moment.

Annihilation (Forgotten Realms: War of the Spider Queen Book 5) by Philip Athans

It's alright. Not as good as the other books, though. Just seems weak on dialouge compared to the others.

Hey Kellalor!

Are you a fanfic reader and/or writer? Just curious because I have a lot of friends are addicted to it (much like I am to UM heh).



Potholer

Azumanga Daioh #3!! WHEEEE!!! lol i do read other things like novels...but i like manga better

as for novels....errrr....OH! einstein's refrigerator by Steve Silverman

I've been reading books by Michael Crichton lately. I read Jurassic Park for school a little while ago, just finished congo, and I'm starting Eaters of the Dead.

I'm reading The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice at the moment, never read them before, they're pretty good. I really shouldn't be though as my stupid school has this 'reading log' and you have to read books from the 'reading list' so I really should be reading Bonfires in the Rain by Lauris Edmond...

I finally got a hold of the second volume in the otherland series river of blue fire and just finished it. Tommorow I will go and get the third volume mountain of black glass but they dont sell the fourth one anywhere!!! These books are really good and combine fantasy and sci-fi brilliantly!!!

Well, I'm currently reading "Fatherland", by Robert Harris.
A fascinating thriller as well as a chilling novel.

I am sadly between books because I am supposed to be studying for exams, but... there are two books that I always reccomend...

A Fine Balance, by Rohinton Mistry - a little thick, which some people find intimidating, but a page-turner. This book will lift you to new heights and plummet you to new depths. If you are interested at all in the debate about whether or not we are destined to live certain lives, this book is food for thought.

The Passion, by Jeanette Winterson - a writer who fascinates me endlessly - the stories she writes are beautiful, full of imagination, and incredibly intelligent. I did this book for an English Lit class in university, and you can spend an hour analyzing even one paragraph in this book. Also, try Oranges are not the Only Fruit, and Written on the Body.

Just got done reading this months issue of XXL MAG if you don't know what that is it's a rap music magazine.

Unlocking the mystery of the crystal skull by chris morton.

Well, I just finished re-reading the entire Harry Potter series.

Now I'm reading Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Thoroughly entertaining so far.

I've been reading a lot of 'children's' books lately. Always fun.

I just finished reading George Orwell's 1984, and personally i thought it was awful. Long stretches of it were boring (i know its focus is on the state of the society, not on an entertaining plot, but i cant help it, i need a little action). It was kind of frightening, but thankfully, in my opinion, the way of existance described in that book will never happen, and the idea that it could have happened by 1984 is very far-fetched. I really dont think its worth reading, but thats just my opinion.


Now im reading HP and the sorcerers stone. Its rather pointless because i saw the movie, but o well, im readin it.

I just started reading Dune by Frank Herbert today.

Really good so far though so incredibly complicated. Herbert has created a whole world, with languages, complex histories, complex plots, complex characters. I'm worried it's going to totally leave me behind with a look on my face. .

"Treasure Island" R.L Stevenson

For the...hmm...33th time maybe? lol

The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty A.N. Roquelaure

On the Road, by Jack Kerouac. It's cool, and moves pretty fast. I like the idea of a guy just making his way west for no good reason other than to do it.

Plus, I likes me some Beatniks.

Realms of the Gods by Tamora Pierce

NewType August 2004 (US ed.)

Not exactly intellectually enlightening But I can tell you what the most popular anime in Japan right now is

Started another - Poul Anderson's There will be Time.

Brill time travelling book. The main character, John, was born with the ability to time travel. It's absolutely ingenious how the whole time travelling thing works. It''s great

I dont feel like been intellectually enlightened at the minute!!!!!

I just finished The Da Vinci Code & Earth Abides by George R. Stewart

I am now reading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller Sophie's World by Jostein Garrder The New World of Philosophy by Abraham Kaplan Truth and Existence by Jean-Paul Sartre Treasure Island by Robert L. Stevenson ......and the Harry Potter series with my boyfriend...

So sorry....i totally forgot i'm also reading Neuromancer by William Bibson and People of the Wolf by W.Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear

Just got Shapes, by Steve Vance, I'll be reading it soon. It looks good!

Body of Secrets - James Bamford

Anatomy of the ultra-secret National Security Agency of the United States.

House of Leaves-which I can only take in small doses.

Good Omens-Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

War against the Weak: Eugenics and America's campaign to Create A Master Race.
by Edwin Black. This one is scaring the hell out of me.
