Right now I'm reading Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman.

ohmy.gif The guy who gave the talk "There's Plenty Of Room At The Bottom" and came up with nanotechnology? Cool.

Still reading Great Expectations. On page 12. I need to read up to page 100-something by Friday. sad.gif

I'm going back to Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I've been reading a bit each day while in the subway. I can't seem to find time to read any of the books on my list. =(

AWW. That book was so sad. cry.gif I read that in tenth grade. It was funny because I picked the book merely because it was the shortest out of most of them, but it turned out to be a great book.

Anywho, to get back on topic.. rolleyes.gif I'm almost done with Uglies, but my AP English teacher decided to give us Beowulf yesterday (due Monday). stubborn.gif

Indeed.

I have a sign on my wall. I look at it every time I get stuck on some complicated math problem or proof. It says, "Would Richard Feynman have given up in frustration?"

It's right next to the sign that says, "You can always sleep on Saturday!"

Richard Feynman is a sort of personal hero, right up there with Sir Isaac Newton.

hrrm. Catch 22. I despise war literature. dumbass course.

gENERALLY (eek, cap locks) agreed, but Catch-22 is pretty funny. I'm attempting (yet again) to read it volunteerily. However, I have to read All Quiet On the Western Front for class, which is the sort of war lit I really can't stand. Doesn't help that we're reading it on top of Macbeth (which is only tolerable because Weeks is funny as hell).

Macbeth</3

In retrospect, I kind of liked All Quiet on the Western Front, spoilers on both counts here, highlight if you want: other than the fact that Katczinsky dying really upset me, and (almost) everybody dies; but yeah, it wasn't that bad.
< read it twice (freshman & sophomore year).

Finished 3, 4, &5 of Narnia today.

I just finished reading A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby which I really enjoyed. I'm reading Kitchen God's Wife again for school, and planning on reading Tuesdays With Morrie next.

I started it last fall, got about 50 pages in, found it amusing but then never had time to read it. I'm now on page 2, because I've found more productive ways to pass my DEAR time in place of reading like I'm supposed to (and of course, by productive, I mean blatantly breaking rules and doing practically nothing).

^ yea, but i had to concentrate when i tried to rerad it.

id rather read Birdsong, which still qualifies as war lit, although rachel tells me it is essentially 600 pages of softcore porn.
