if you have one, what is the first book you've read this year?

mine would be:
possible side effects by augusten burroughs
catch-22 for school

I've read a few this year. I think my first one was, um, Odd Thomas. Another Koontz book.

Either Mr. Perfect - Linda Howard or On Beauty - Zadie Smith.

fahrenheit 451 for school
but reading looking for alaska on my own will. :D

Essential Biology with Physiology. ON MY OWN ACCORD. I know.

I Am American (And So Can You!)- Stephen Colbert

we'll see when I get around to finishing this...

captain underpants

Darn it, I can't really remember. I've been reading Reservation Blues for school, though.

Either The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom or Blink by Malcom Gladwell. I'm inclined to say the latter but I don't remember when I started reading it. Oh well.

i really liked 'the five people you meet in heaven'...i read it last summer

i just read 'fences' for school...for those who dont know, its a play...i thought it was okay but it was a bit short

I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha now, but I've read a couple of books since 2008 started.

Most likely The Teahouse Fire

Crap, i think it was the Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o.

Crap, i think it was the Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o.

really? how is that? i saw it advertised on a website where my friend and i were playing little kid games, lol.

A Child Called It.

I was expecting the abuse to be much worse.

Ethan Frome
that book is just depressing.

Martha by Doris Lessing. It's brilliant <3

I loved Looking For Alaska! So good.

My first book was The Color of Water by James McBride. It was fantastic. I read it for a class and he would give us like two weeks to read nine chapters and I would read the nine chapters in one day and want to read more. Definitly a page turner, very fast read if you don't have my teacher, haha.

Velvet Elvis, repainting the Christian faith.
- Rod Bell

Pretty old book, but I thought I should read it since his other book was so good.

uummmm i think it was a year in europe...... it was SUPER good!

Umm.... I think it was either the Love Machine or Once Is Not Enough by Jacqueline Susann.

The only books I read in January were textbooks, so I guess those don't count.. I'm starting on I Am America (And So Can You!) by Steven Colbert. I wonder what my teacher's gonna think when I write my report on it. Hmmm..

THE AUDACITY OF HOPE
Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
By Barack Obama

Barack has my strong attention, I finally decided to read this book.

Sadly enough, I still have yet to finish. Goddamn.
