<p>I'm not talking about the required reading for your APLit class. This is strictly pleasure reading.</p>
<p>I haven't been able to find any good, new fiction books in years. So right now I'm working my way through a list of classics. Just picked up Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and As the Sun Rises by Hemingway from Borders today. I'll start them later tonight, probably. </p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>Just some crappy Amish series. I picked up the cheap series at the local grocery store.</p>
<p>“Same Kind of Different As Me”</p>
<p>I’m rereading the Da Vinci code, I first read it in 6th or 7th grade I think but it’s a lot more interesting now that I’m taking an art history class.</p>
<p>One of my worst habits is starting about six books simultaneously and then rotating my reading so that I never get through one single book in a reasonable amount of time. But the books currently in rotation are:</p>
<p>Status Anxiety - Alain de Botton
American Gods - Neil Gaiman
The Difficult Farm - Heather Christle
The End of the Road - John Barth
The Shadow of Sirius - W.S. Merwin</p>
<p>Woohoo, multi-genre extravaganza. Books are fabulous.</p>

<p>Pretty is What Changes! Good read. :)</p>
<p>^^ I do the same thing.</p>
<p>Atlas Shrugged. I just passed the half-way mark. :)</p>
<p>TheYankInLondon stole my post!</p>
<p>Angels & Demons - Dan Brown prequel to the Da Vinci Code</p>
<p>Pffft… I just realized I totally misspelled that title. “The Sun Also Rises”. Wow… fail.</p>
<p>YES! I also read way more than one book at once, causing me to take forever to finish a single book while racking up a ton of money in library fines. :D</p>
<p>But right now I’m reading:
Idiot America
Freakonomics
And I just finished up one of the newest Clique novels.</p>
<p>So I read stuff from lots of different genres too.</p>
<p>I have 9 books on hold at the library.
And 4 books I requested as an inter-library loan.</p>
<p>I love the library. <em>nerd</em></p>
<p>The Bell Jar</p>
<p>I started reading The Fountainhead this morning, before that I was reading Ender’s Game and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.</p>
<p>U. S. War Aims by Walter Lippmann. Interesting perspective on World War 2, especially on the diplomatic relations between the allies.</p>
<p>Istanbul by Orhan Pamuk.</p>
<p>Its great. Like everything Pamuk writes. Oh geez I love him.</p>
<p>I also have the habit of reading numerous books at the same time.</p>
<p>Right now I’m reading…
Great Expectations- Dickens
Blink- Gladwell
Glued to the Set- Stark
Brisingr- Paolini
and some Grisham books</p>
<p>At the library I check out so many books that I max out my card and have to use other family member’s cards.</p>
