I'm reading 'Inside Hitlers Bunker', a long detailed book about his life and final years of madness commanding armies that didnt exist.

I just finished A Judgement in Stone by Ruth Rendell... It's both creepy and extremely sad at the same time :(

Hoping to read Eagle Strike, but can't get it from the school since it's the end of the term this week, so ALL books will be returned...

I'm reading 'The Secret Garden'. Very... interesting. Before I read 'The Sky is Falling'. Very... interesting.

I'm reading Girl with a Pearl Earring. Again.
All my books are under my bed and this is the only one i could reach without demolishing the piles or banging my head.

I just finished something by William Gibson. I think it was Count Zero or something. And I'm reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. It's rather good, but the narrative keeps switching, and if you don't notice the *'s that indicate a changing narrative, you get a tad confused.

I'm re-reading the Anne series by Lucy Maud Montgomery and I'm working through Anne of Ingleside right now.

There's also a couple of books on prehistory I'm to take notes from.

Magician's Gambit by David Eddings. Been rereading The Belgariad the past couple days...haven't decided what I'm going to go onto next. (I'm just happy to have my books again.)

Also still have Lord of the Flies for English lit, and at the rate we're going through it, I'm gonna be reading it for quite a long time...

((Edit)) OK, I'm a big fat liar. =D I totally forgot that I finished Magician's Gambit yesterday afternoon, and am now almost done with Castle of Wizardry. I forget how fast I read, sometimes. =P

This week's assigned texts are The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon, intro. by Jean Paul-Sartre (reminded me of why I disliked reading Sartre, he's so pompous), The English Teacher's Survival Guide and The Taming of the Shrew. Along with the books I've also got reading on Chinese national cinema and American film.

Things Fall Apart turned out to be really good, you just have to be willing to hang with it through the first half because the second half gets much better.

Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams is what i'm reading. Really funny, it is

...And now onto Enchanter's End Game. Might take me a couple days for this one, since I have homework to do tonight...

I am currently reading Terminator 2: Future War.

It's the story about what happens after Judgement Day, only problem with it is that it clashes with the events of the Terminator 3 movie.

I just finished The Hot Zone by an author I forget. It was for school, but the book really did intrigue me. It was VERY interesting.

About how the biological level 4 virus, ebola and aids, and its origin, its apperance in the US, and how it almost became an epidemic in the US. True, but immensly entertaining.
