i finished a separate peace twenty-five minutes ago. it had good characters and a nice plot. i liked it.

i'll start cat on a hot tin roof tomorrow.
 
I finished An Abundance of Katherines on Friday so I went to the library and got Paper Towns which I finished yesterday. It was amazing and it's by the same author, John Green. I'm currently reading Looking for Alaska which is also by John Green. I'm not very far but I hope it is good.

Um... as opposed to what, novel form?

As opposed to "Shakespeare for Today's Generation" form, perhaps?

"Verona was de turf of de feuding Montagues and de Capulet families. And coz they was always brawling and stuff, de prince of Verona told them to cool it or else they was gonna get well mashed if they carried on larging it with each other."

Now reading: Invisible Man by Ralph Waldo Ellison. School assignment.
 
Finished Looking for Alaska. It is was good as I figured it would be. Now I'm rereading The Book Thief because we are still discussing it in English and it will help if I read the book more than once. I might start reading another book with it, but I'm not sure what yet.

I just finished doing Hamlet in my English class and we spent SUCH A LONG TIME on it. I liked it but I grew a bit tired of it after analyzing it to death for the hundredth time. I could probably recite "to be or not to be" from memory at this point... to be or not to be, that is the question... whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them... well, you get the idea.

Anyway, we just started Crime and Punishment, so that's what I'm reading now. I've only read the first chapter, so I don't have much of an opinion on it yet, except that the character's names seem pretty long and Russian and crazy.

I am pretty sure I know about half of Macbeth vaguely off by heart.

But... do they even exist outside of "play form"? Okay, it can be on stage, in a book, and (if we stretch it a little) in film, but it's always the play. o.o

Well, then again, it could be the Reduced Shakespeare Company's version. *too lazy to link*
 
I just finished Seeing Redd, from the Looking Glass wars series

I also just finished The Chocolate War, reading it for English class, and I wasn't supposed to finish it until February 5, but it was really good

Off topic, FKOD has an awsome avatar =)
