I only sleep about 8 hours sometimes 7 hours a day, and daytime t.v isn't the greatest so I usually end up reading (or re-reading) a couple of books a day depending on size. Here's what I've finished recently:

- Carrie
- Cujo
- Christine
- Gospel According To Disney
- This Months Shonen Jump
- Tail of The Moon Vols 1, 2 and 3
- The Dastard (Xanth Novel)

Here's what I'm planning on reading next:

- Gospel of Disney again (research for book I want to write)
- Skystone
- Singing Sword
- Complete Chronicles of Narnia
- The Shadow Rising (WOT #4)

I'm also planning on buying the Fourth Wheel Of Time book so that I can read it and continue through the series.

I just finished "The Kite Runner," which was AMAZING - hands down one of the best books I've read in the last five years. Made me cry, it was so good.

I'm currently reading Mansfield Park, too! I love Jane Austen. So far, I've read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and the first 150 or so pages of Mansfield Park. They're all awesome.

I'm on page 112, and I have read P&P, Emma, S&S, and Persuasion so far. Mansfield Park is the next-to-last of all the Jane Austen novels to read for me. I absolutely love her style and her sense of humor.
I've also liked all the adaptations for TV or the big screen I've seen so far.
But my favorite is still the 1995 BBC P&P with Ehle and Firth.

Well, I finished HP 4 last night. I don't know what to read next, I'm thinking about "Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West" but my none of the libraries in my area have it. Any suggestions?

Go to any bookshop and buy it? I got my copy for 9.90$ at Barnes and Noble.
Or maybe you could borrow it from a friend? I bet someone you know has it.

Or you could read one of the other Gregory MacGuire novels. "Confessions of an ugly step-sister", "Son of a witch" (kind of a sequel to Wicked), "Mirror, Mirror"...

Currently, I'm hooked on The Lost Years of Merlin series by T.A. Barron and right now I'm almost about to finish The Lost Years of Merlin # 4: The Mirror of Merlin, then I'll go on to The Lost Years of Merlin # 5: The Wings of Merlin. Then I'll be done.

Hmmm, I might do that, though I don't have cash really for that. I might work out something.

Thanks for those suggestions. I've been to the website and they all sound really good.

Do you know how long it is? I was really looking for the Broadway Tie-In book, do you know if that's out?

I have the Broadway tie-in edition of the novel, but I don't remember how many pages it has. I'd guess like 400-500- But I could be wrong.
The book itself is very nice with the Broadway poster on the front and some pictures from the show in color in the middle.

I'm currently reading Alias by Brian Michael Bendis.

After that it will be Mickey & the Gang: Short Stories in Verse.

The sad part is I haven't read a book with just words in a long time. Most of the things I read are comic books (HC or TPB), magazines or Disney books about the parks.

Sequel I thought I should mention that Maguire's novel is vastly different from the wonderful and essentially bubbly musical. I read it after becoming a huge fan of the show and was surprised to find a much darker story---one that does incorporate some sexual content.

Just be forewarned. However, I hope I don't scare you away from reading it. Wicked really is a magnificent book, regardless of the fact that it isn't so much like it's Broadway counterpart.

Oh yes, I heard that it wasn't even close to the novel, well, besides the central plot, I think. Though, I do like bubbly music :D . No, actually, it was at a library in my county, so I requested it to be sent to the closest one so that I can go and pick it up instead of driving a lot. Thanks for the warning, though.

A very haunting and engrossing book about Dinah, the only daughter of Jacob in the Bible.
