Geez, do normal people really read this much?
The only books I could get through were the Harry Potter, Twilight, and Narnia series. |

Currently reading My Sister's Keeper. It's a great book compared to other Jodi Picoult books.

I'm not a big fan of him.I know it's a kids book, but I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (one of the girls I babysit was obsessed so I had to see what the fuss was about) and it's actually pretty good. |

Finished Haruki Murakami's Kakfa on the Shore yesterday; it was so good. Now I'm reading Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

^ I love Wilde, but Dorian Grey isn't very good. Maybe I should reread it.
Currently reading a biography of Boudica. |

Yeah, the introduction by Nancy Springer warns the reader of that, but I still want to read it. I really like the ideas that he's presented in the few pages of the book that I've gotten through so far. |

Still reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Almost done though. BRILLIANT.
When I'm done I'm planning to read Stumbling Upon Happiness by Dan Gilbert, which I'm excited about because I bought the book before watching his TED talk on happiness (which was great), then realized he wrote the book. After that I'm planning to pick up a few Briane Greene books, probably will start with The Fabric of the Cosmos or The Elegant Universe, depending on how much of my brain I want to use... ...I have no interest in reading fiction anymore.  Except maybe Harry Potter but since that's done with...I don't know when the next time I'll read a novel will be.EDIT// Oh and I can't forget The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. I've seen it around for years but haven't really picked it up...but will read it this summer.

I just borrowed The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde from a friend, so I'll be reading that!
I haven't read a new book on my own in so long. |

^ Yeah, couldn't get past the 3rd page of Dr Jekll and Mr Hyde. Will try to read it again later.....
I just bought Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility yesterday, so I'm reading that now. |

I've seen it around for years but haven't really picked it up...but will read it this summer. i have a problem with interest in fiction too. i like good fiction, i just don't really know how to find good fiction i read The Devil Wears Prada, and it was nice to get away from non fiction but now i'm stuck again. my problem with non fiction though is that i can't just pick it up and read it anytime. i have a ton and can always find a ton of non fiction books to read. they take me longer though because i usually don't want to sit down and read 100 pages at a time when i'm reading about "heavy" subjects. the god delusion was pretty good. i have two other dawkins books waiting on my bookshelf for me still. |

I started "Lock and Key" by Sarah Dessen, but it's just not hooking me like her other ones...
