A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'engle (again)
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
Sunrise by Erin Hunter
 
Its very descriptive, but the first 20 pages were really slow.

tell me how it is. it's one of the books on my shelf i have not yet read.

i decided on the crying of lot 49. i don't get what's going on; thomas pynchon is too good at writing. that, and i've only tried to read it in places where it's hard to concentrate on a book.
 
I finished Lolita last night. It is absolutely fabulous and I've been reccomending it to everyone ever. I have such mixed feelings for Humbert Humbert.
I love Nabokov's style. Definitely need to read more of him in the future.

Gonna start Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry. It can't be anything but awesome.

Dark Calling- Darren Shan

It was extremely dull and talkative in the opening half but now it has turned into one of my favourite books. This looks to be one hell of a finale. :D

Wrong. I've completed the entire book now and its horribly bad. Was the fight supposed to be epic and important? Bec's been captured by Lord Loss, Meera & Juni died, Dervish is falling apart, the shadow has been temporally killed, the ark & the sky demons, ATLANTIS? A SPACESHIP? In retrospect this book isn't quite that good, characters are running off, getting killed without any time to care about them, they should've finished on the 6th book, that was an epic enough conclusion. If Grubbs doesn't get to fight Lord Loss once in this finale Darky's gonna be majorly unimpressed.On the other hand, Kernel is still definitely my favourite narrator.

I think its about time I read the Saga series again.

Anyone want to agree/disagree?

I'm trying to find one I can really get into. I read Impulse by Ellen Hopkins last night. Six hundred and sixty-six pages of WOW.

I'm reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown now.
 
i finished the crying of lot 49. i didn't get anything out of it, probably because i read it in places where i couldn't concentrate on books.

i'm going to start thus spoke zarathustra tonight. i've had enough fiction for a little while.. with things going on at home, i can use something different.
