What book are you currently reading?

<p>Richard III</p>

<p>

I found it amazing as well.</p>

<p>Currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.</p>

<p>Hamlet (haha, obviously for school :P)</p>

<p>I’ve started reading Three Cups of Tea, too, although for fun, not for school.
And yeah, The Book Thief is amazing :slight_smile: It’s been my favorite book for a couple of years now.</p>

<p>What’s the typical ratio of books read for school to books read for fun in a year?</p>

<p>^Thanks to AP Language and AP US History, I read more textbooks/essays than full length books these days, however I’d say 1.5:1</p>

<p>I’m currently reading Message in a Bottle and an Artemis Fowl book.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I just finished it too and it blew my mind. My favorite one was “How To Tell A True War Story” but I also loved “Speaking of Courage.” Obviously, I’ve never been to war, but I thought the book was a pretty raw description of the stuff. </p>

<p>I’m currently reading 1776. History ftw</p>

<p>i’m reading the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde and wayside stories series. the wayside school series were my favorite as a kid. i caught a case of nostalgia last week and bought the whole series on amazon for $3! it was in the new and used section</p>

<p>Oedipus Rex (In the original Greek)
Right Ho, Jeeves! - P.G. Wodehouse</p>

<p>I’m incredibly ashamed. I’ve only finished Hamlet this year and am half way through Atonement. I was intending to finish it last night, but instead, I slept for 14 hours or so.</p>

<p>Just finished Perelandra, about to start That Hideous Strength.</p>

<p>Oh yes, I suppose I am still reading War and Peace, technically. Somewhere around page 900 since the summer before 9th grade. It’s been to like 6 countries with me.</p>

<p>Wow u guys are reading some serious stuff. I just finished reading some junky chic-lit.</p>

<p>Death without Interruptions by Jose Saramago</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>The Story of English - MacNeil, McCrum, and Cran.</p>

<p>Sike, and Heart of Darkness for school. Bleh.</p>

<p>Just finished Night By Elie Wiesel, need to write 2 essays, 1 is included in a project and one on the movie we just watched (The Pianist), great movie, great book. I have a state writing test on tuesday + 2 essays due during the week, so it should be interesting.</p>

<p>Just finished Joseph Heller’s Catch-22.</p>

<p>School: Crime and Punishment</p>

<p>Me: Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol</p>

<p>Just finished Heart of Darkness for school and for fun I’ve been reading a few but The Three Musketeers is my “main” one. Still working on Germinal (Zola), The Double (Dostoevsky) and my poor poor Brothers Karamazov that I haven’t finished yet (started 2 years ago and love dearly).</p>

<p>Just finished:
Crime and Punishment
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
The Picture of Dorian Gray</p>

<p>Alice I have been (for fun) and Jekyll and Hyde (for school).</p>

<p>

That book was great!</p>

<p>i’m reading the things they carried by tim o’brien on sparknotes</p>
