Sweetblood - Pete Hautman

It's a reread from a couple years ago. Hautman is one of my favourite authors, and I've enjoyed nearly everything he's written. I really like Sweetblood, but Lucy (the mc) bothers me a bit.

Noughts and Crosses - Marlorie Blackman (I think...)

I started off and it sounded a bit stupid, so I flicked to the back page and JESUS O.O What an ending!! So I carried on reading, and it's getting much better! Excellent.

Emma, I told you it was good, you coulda asked me and I woulda said it gets better and you wouldn't have had to spoil the ending. Hmph. (And it's Malorie Blackman. ;P)

I'm reading High Deryni by Katherine Kurtz. I should be reading Animal Farm, as it's the only book from the library I have left that I have't read yet, and they're due back on Friday, but I really haven't been in the mood for it.

I'm actually reading another classic-- The Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Sallinger (no clue if that's spelled right). My favorite band (3 guesses...) has a song about it, called Who Wrote Holden Caulfield, and it made me want to read the book. It's not the best, but it's all right...

Salinger. You were close.

I've just started reading The Dilbert Future by Scott Adams. So far it hasn't intrigued me as much as The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which is the last book I read, but it's interesting, nonetheless.

Ho hum, we read that for English last term.

Finished The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. I thought it was rather cute.

And now we're reading it in English. We're also watching the movie; it's quite interesting.

Da Vinci Code, it's thrilling!

I think we're going to watch the movie in a couple of weeks - our assessment is an essay on 'adaptions and transformations', I believe.

I did my senior paper in college on Ghosts by Ibsen and Medea by Euripedes. It was about motherhood and such-like. If you like A Doll's House, then give Ghosts a read.

Anyhoo...I'm reading Suffer the Children by John Saul and Drama City by George Pelecanos. Good books, both of them. I have a hard time reading one book at a time. Something to do with my short attention span, I suppose. I'm in the middle of a couple others, but I haven't picked them up in weeks, so I suppose they don't count.

George Pelecanos, by the way...if anyone likes The Wire on HBO--he's the writer. His books are awesome. The characters are just as real and fleshed out as the TV series, and the dialogue is great, as well.

Lifeguard - James Patterson
Chronicles of Narnia - C.S Lewis (All I have to say about the ending is..Holy crap )

I'm reading 'The Plot Against America' by Philip Roth. No, it's not one of those 9/11 books *again*, but instead focuses on Lindbergh's presidency and his friendship with Hitler. It's immensely interesting, I suggest it for a plane journey,
