i'm reading a book called Stargirl. it's by Jerry Spinnelli. my teacher read it to us in fifth grade, but i don't recall anything, really. but my english teacher assigned it to us. today was the first day she assigned it. we had to read to the end of chapter five (pg. 26), although we are aloud to read farther. but, by choice i'm on chapter nineteen (pg. 100). lol. yeah... it's really good. i forget how it ends and i'm REALLY curious. i'd suggest it to you if you haven't read it already.

^you thought so? I "read" it for language arts last year and couldn't stand it, so I never finished. Though I must say, Mr Weeks' interpreation was most amusing, but no one knows what I'm on about so nevermind
I just finished Son of a Witch, which was delightful. I'll read the sequal to Eragon, [/i]Eldest[/i] at some point, because I can't bear to not finish things. I also need to read Sphere as I'm told it's good and haven't read Criton (sp?) before, and I need to finish Talk to the Hand, so I can eventually return it to its owner. |

Actually, I think that if you want to marry him, his being gay might be to your advantage

Aside from my school books, I'm reading Freakonomics. It's very good, and insightful.
As for school, I'm primarily reading Modern Software Development and Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus. |

I finished reading these good books recently
*Out of The Dust - depressing book *The 5 People You Meet In Heaven - when I first heard about it I thought it was so depressing but when I read it it wasnt really & it is an interesting book/movie *The Giver - I actually read this in 4th grade but I love this book so I read it over and over agen. It is sad but its interesting *The Diamond In The Window - I know, I know this is like a 5th/4th grade book but I love this mystery! *The Da Vinci Code - very very very impressing *Gathering Blue - a sequel to "The Giver" , its not as good as "The Giver" but its still good yep ~~ msz. hixfive |

I love reading but I'm one of those people who'll get into a book for a day or two but the minute I put it down after taht I have a hard time getting back into it. But lately I'm trying to read all my books more often.
My current reading list is: "The Complete Idiots Guide to Astrology: Third Edition" by Madeline Gerwick-Brodeur and Lisa Lenard: I got this book for Christmas from my Mom, it was on my list. I'd been told good things about this book. For me its a beginer book to Astrology. I've only cracked the first couple chapters but its really informative and I really like it. "The Queen of the Damned" by Anne Rice: I got this book about a year ago along with a couple others of the Vampire Chronicles. So I've been reading them in order. I know "A year ago and you're only on the third book?". Well like I said earlier, I'm bad about getting into books after the first couple of days, RL just grabs me and doesn't let go lol. So I finally finished "The Vampire Lestat" a week or so ago and now I"m starting on this one. I don't want to give anything away but this book so far is just as good as the previous two. "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler: I also got this book for Christmas from my Mom. I've only read the preface of this edition. I'm on the original preface lol. I know, thats not even enough to give an opinion. But as preface's go, these aren't so bad lol. "The Dictionary of Dreams and their Meanings" by Richard Craze: Well this one I got for Christmas from my Mom as well. But it wasn't on my list. I thought I wouldn't be happy with it but lately I've been having some odd dreams so this might help give me some insight. I skim through various chapters every now and then and what I've read is very informative and interesting. I really want to get "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and "Christ, the Lord" by Anne Rice. |

Okay I just finished not too long ago a book called 4 Blondes by the chick who did sex and the city. I don't know I just really like chick lit. I'm about to start a book called Blonde (pattern?) based on the life of Marilyn Mornoe. Its a novel. I've also got By Myself which is Lauren Bacalls autobiography. So yeah thats on my todo list. That and Confessions of a Shop-a-Holic. I feel very superficial right about now. oh! don't forget Harry Potter!!

QUOTE(xnofearx @ Jan 18 2006, 4:44 PM) QUOTE(liquidize @ Jan 19 2006, 4:26 AM) dude i'm going to buy that book, seriously because i was so interested when the textbook made references to that. mannn Mein Kampf isn't worth buying. I was interested in reading it too because I wanted to know why exactly Hitler thought that way so I loaned it out from the library, read the first page, got really pissed off because Hitler was so damned digressive, and stopped reading it. I should probably try again, but I definitely wouldn't buy it. |

I finished Freakonomics last night. It's a really good book. It's by an economist who uses the tools of economics not to analyze taxes or the stock market, but other data, to answer interesting questions like "Why do most drug dealers still live with their mom?", "Why did crime drop so rapidly in the mid-1990s?", "Which is more dangerous to have in the home: a gun or a swimming pool?", and other such questions. It was really good because it presented an interesting way of looking at the world and approaching problems, and it also showed how data manipulate us on a regular basis.
Now, I'm planning on reading Telecosm, a book about information networks, which I read once, a long time ago, but I think I might understand it better now; or Cybershock, which is about information terrorism on the Internet and other worldwide communications networks. |
