That's fine, but only on the stipulation that if you do like it, I get all the credit for making you keep reading

[quote="Sunako"]>.>]
haha...well, I can only read a couple fiction at a time usually(the manga doesn't count b/c I seem to be able to pick that up any time. )

But yeah, the rest is mostly non-fiction stuff. I hadn't had time to read much til this summer, so now i'm fully indulging. Problem is that there's too much to read and I keep getting MORE distracting suggestions. haha. Next on the list, the 2nd Trigun, the Halo trilogy(i'm not sure if it's a true trilogy, but yeah), and 3rd CS Lewis book, and rereading the LOTR trilogy.

umm yeah..might take awhile. *grins*

I've just started Carol Off's book "The Ghosts of Medak Pocket: The Story of Canada's Secret War".

The book details the battle of the Medak Pocket and its aftermath. The battle was fought in September 1993 between Canadian and Croatian forces when the Canadians were ordered to hold the Medak salient against any Croatian advance (which they did). News of the incident however was suppressed for political reasons by the Canadian government and the UN.

ooh, shakespeare... and so many plays at one time! I never read Henry V or King Lear... I've heard that the latter is very grim.

[mechana2015]

reading Waking up Screaming. It's a collection of HP Lovecraft storys.

[mastersquirrel]

Reading Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

[GhostontheNet]

Reading Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Nice choice! Although it was a few years ago, I really liked that one.

[pyro_moogle]

I am also reading Eye of the world. I really like it. The plot is rather deep and confusing. I reccomend it. I is a prettty good fantasy read.

[Jasdero]

Terry Goodkind's Faith of the Fallen

[Kokhiri Sojourn]

He he.... I'm reading....

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë

It is for a class, and I really don't know what to think of it yet.

[uc pseudonym]

In a moment I will be picking up and beginning Catch 22. The very cool aspect of this is that it is actually for a class, and I have been wanting to read it for some time in any case.

[bigsleepj]

Raymond Chandler's "Farewell, my Lovely".

A very good novel so far if you like Raymond Chandler and the likes

[Jasdero]

CRANK by Ellen Hopkins. I thought this was a book with assorted poetry in it, and it turns out that it's an actual story, just written differently... I wish I hadn't bought it, because the storyline is really annoying.. >.<

[Rachel]

Right now I'm reading St. Ursula's Girls Against The Atomic Bomb. It's by Valerie Hurley and so far it's pretty good. Really well written and funny, I think.

[Hephzibah]

I'm reading 'We Dance Because We Cannot Fly'. Its a non-fiction about the awesome work being done with drug addicts in various countries.

I've always wanted to read Catch 22 and 1984. George Orwell was quite the intelligent author. I don't know much about Joseph Heller, however.

[uc pseudonym]

I would give 1984 my recommendation. At the moment I have read a fair portion of Catch 22 and my response is mixed. On one hand, it is very cleverly written and has entertained me well. On the other, however, I have not been very impressed by Heller's inclusion of a great deal of (largely pointless) sexual content.

[Kesshin]

I'm currently re-reading Lirael, by Garth Nix. Definitely makes my top ten list. It is one of the best fantasy books I've found so far.

I just finished The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr. I highly enjoyed it, and I found it far more interesting than the PBS TV series that was inspired from this book. The book is well written and would be considered fairly short for the avid reader. Personally, I am fascinated by the many similarities in the lives of Freud and Lewis, and the occasional irony that their lives show when faced with their proclaimed views, especially in Freud's case. For those interested in the question on how one develops the belief or disbelief in the existence of God, or if you are even just interested in psychology, I strongly recommend reading this book.

[Aka-chan]

I am taking advantage of a bit of a holiday break to try and read several books at once:
Crime and Punishment by that Russian guy whose name I can't spell
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'engle (again; I haven't read it in 8 years)
The Great Tree of Avalon: Child of the Dark Prophesy by T. A. Barron (author of all four books of the Lost Years of Merlin Trilogy. XD Good series.)

[AsterlonKnight]

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

[harina]

I just started with Through the looking-glass by Lewis Caroll. It's like the sequel for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

I actually stumbled across the TV version and was quite surprised by it. I didn't even realize there was a book on which the program was based. I think I also would like to read this - have to do some research, especially being a Psychology major.
