I rarely have time to read anymore, and I'm not into new fiction (which always seems to be what most people talk about), but I have been reading a book lately. It's Ghost Hunting, and it's from the original Ghost Hunters guys. It's a really great, fun, spooky read that you can tear through pretty fast, even if you're a slow reader like me. I only haven't finished because I had to stop and get back to doing some work around here, ha. It covers various cases that they went on, and it starts with some that predated the TV show, so those are the most fun to read about.

Well, I finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone last night, then finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets today around 4:00 and then I just began reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban about 6 chapters in. I'm so glad the Spring Break just started so that I can finally get the necessary re-reads on the whole series. Along with these, I have to finish reading A Separate Peace by next Monday (31st I think). Let's just say that I would much rather read HP over ASP anytime.

Right now I'm reading Harvesting The Heart, by Jodi Picoult. I usually like her books but I'm finding this one to be a little dull. Here's hoping it gets better.

I just finished The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien for my history class. Good stuff.

I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Saturday and started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Saturday night, and finished it Monday, then started Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Monday night and now I have about 100 pages left of OotP and will definitely be starting Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tonight finishing, roughly, Thrusday then beginning Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows the same day finishing on Friday or Saturday. That leaves me plenty of time to examine what I've read and to finish the last half of A Separate Peace.

Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire

I just finished Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson, and now I'm onto Maximum Ride: School's Out-Forever.

I'm also reading Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech.

All are fantastic.

I just finished Chuck Palahniuk's new book, Snuff. I think next I am going to read First To Die from James Patterson. I've heard he is a great author, but I have yet to read any of his stuff. Ah, I love the summertime. It's the only time I have to read, for pleasure.

Picked up the "His Dark Materials" box set today and will be starting "The Golden Compass" tonight.

Reading Martin Chuzzlewit and still Walt Disney: the triumph of American Imagination.

Let's see if I can remember (though I probably won't) all that I have read for school this year:

Lord of the Flies
Farenheit 451
Kaffir Boy
To Kill A Mockingbird
Julius Caesar
1984
A Separate Peace
Ethan Frome
Antigone
Othello
Night

Summer Reading for Honors English 11:

The Scarlet Letter
A Prayer For Owen Meany
The Crucible

What I've read in the last few weeks:

Nick Hornby-Fever Pitch
Nick Hornby- How to be good
Theodor Fontane- Effi Briest

What I am reading now:
Bill Bryson- Notes from a big country

I'm reading The working poor - Invisble in America by David K. Shipler.

I'm reading

"Having it All" - John Assaraf (More Secret, and I'm not ashamed to say that it works and if you don't beleive me don't coz you don't know what you're missing. I can write you a whole book about the strange events that happened after I learned it.)

"The Interpretation of Fairy Tales"

"The Meaning of Beauty & the Beast"

I've found out that fairy tales have more hidden meaning to them than most people think especially my favourite fairy tale (BATB).

Since I'll be on vacation in one week, I think that I will read the Shopaholic serie again! I loved it so much!

Actually, I'm studying for my ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) so that's pretty much the only thing I'm reading right now! But when I have a few minutes off, I read a few pages of my Disney Villain book.

That's ironic, because I just finished reading "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America" by Barbara Ehrenreich, which is about the working poor. Now I'm reading "Bait and Switch", also by Barbara Ehrenreich.

Is that the book by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas with a holopgraphic image of the evil queen on the cover, aka The Disney Villain?
That's the one I have, but I'm just curious to know if there is another.

"The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox" by Maggie O'Farrell. Beautiful and touching.
