What book are you currently reading?

<p>^^We had to read that book for English class. It was pretty solid. (though harder to appreciate it when you have to read like ten chapters of it a day.)</p>

<p>That book is powerful! Esp Jefferson's diary and the last chapter-ish. I read that for optional reading in AP Lit last year. I thought it was better than Hardy and Austen. heh. :]</p>

<p>I'm reading Gideon, a book that won the Pulitzer Prize. I got it as my graduation gift from a teacher - I wonder what he meant by it. =p</p>

<p>I'm reading " El amor en los tiempos del colera" ( I guess in english its love in the times of cholera, although the title could be translated differently) by Gabriel garcia marquez... Once I finish this I'll either start 100 years of solitude or pick up some short stories or poems by Mario Benedetti ( I'm also still trying to get a hold of a couple of plays by Dario Fo).</p>

<p>East of Eden</p>

<p>oh, man, i feel sorry for all the people who are reading "how to read lit like a professor". Oh man, i struggled through that one. the whole thing is just total bs. </p>

<p>Oh yeah ^^ and don't waste your time on East of Eden. It's incredibly disappointing... (sorry...)</p>

<p>Anyway, now reading Wuthering Heights</p>

<p>HS.</p>

<p>I'm reading Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and it's amazing! As an incoming freshman last fall at Georgetown, I had to read "The Blind Assassin" and she came to the school to discuss the book and since then I've been amazed by this woman - she's f-ing awesome! And her books are definitely a must read.</p>

<p>Actualy, I really have enjoyed "How to Read Lit Like a Professor." Loved it, acutally.</p>

<p>I finished "The Gatekeepers" last night, too. It's about a season of adcom at a small liberal arts college. Don't think it was that worthwhile. I'll be selling my copy on Amazon ASAP. </p>

<p>I think my next target it "The Poisonwood Bible."</p>

<p>Besides Harry Potter?</p>

<p>I just started Running With Scissors. It is probably the weirdest thing I've ever read.</p>
