<p>It’s actually quite good. It’s motivating me to watch a lot of movies that I never did before. :D</p>
<p>Macbeth for school
SUMMER READING LIST- Sophie’s World (wanna see if i like philosophy) and Alice in Wonderland (wanna see how much the movie sucks compared to it)… there was another one but I don’t remember what it was.</p>
<p>^ Sophie’s World is a slow read, but it’s brilliant. I read it last summer [:</p>
<p>Currently reading The Prince (yawn- part of my plan to force myself to read more classics) and America America by Ethan Canin (okay so far). I’ve also been partway through A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius since the summer. It’s not a bad book, but I can just never bring myself to pick it up again. Not sure why.</p>
<p>^The Prince is a pretty boring classic to start with. You might want to try, I dunno, fiction, or something written after the 1500s.</p>
<p>believe it or not, I’m reading Harry potter…
HP RULES !!! :)</p>
<p>I wish SOMEONE would just say “SHOPAHOLIC AND BABY”
gosh.</p>
<p>Technically:
…And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer. I got halfway through it, then winter break ended and it just got forgotten. I really do want to finish it, so maybe it’ll be read over spring break. The half I read was pretty good though, if anyone’s interested. It was definitely in the Douglas Adams spirit. </p>
<p>Atlas Shrugged. I got like 50 pages in then stopped? Managed to finish The Fountainhead last year and really enjoyed it. This one might stay on hiatus for a while though…</p>
<p>Catch-22. It’s been like five months…I really need to pick this one back up.</p>
<p>Actually:
I’m rereading 1984 right now. Half for fun, and half for an english essay where we could pick any book. </p>
<p>Light in August by William Faulkner for school. I’m enjoying it a lot, and it’s not as difficult as I thought it’d be.</p>
<p>sherlock holmes!!!
just finished macbeth at school and it was lame as someones face haha</p>
<p>i’m reading: The Trial, by Franz Kafka, it’s really captivating i recommend it to everyone</p>
<p>I <em>just</em> finished Atonement and… I think I’m done with most present-day writing. I’m just going to stick with the authors I really like Murakami, Greer, and Fford and only read classics. Atonement was good and fine, but compared to the works of stunning literary merit that many classics are, it seems markedly unimpressive. I’m not really surprised that I feel this way. It’s the first book I’ve read in perhaps six months, if not more, that wasn’t a classic or written by Murakami (ie: the last 17 or so books I read were classics. Maybe even the last 34. I may have gone the whole of 2009 with no modern authors other than Murakami).</p>
<p>pfff no science fiction/fantasy fans in the group</p>
<p>you all disappoint me</p>
<p>^ I love SFF. I’m just not reading it right now. I have my eye on Ender in Exile for Easter break though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve read a lot of the classics that seemed remotely interesting to me, so I decided to try and branch out. And The Prince was on sale. Bleh.</p>
<p>Wow, I feel bad for reading romance now. Hhaa you guys have inspired me to start reading “House of the Seven Gables”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know! He’s incredible. His short stories are great too.</p>
<p>Lolita, finally. Been meaning to read it for a while, finally got round to it because a friends started listening to the audio book (which she says makes things a whole lot weirder)</p>
<p>The Lost Symbol</p>
<p>Finished Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult last week. It was good :)</p>
<p>^^^ Nabokov ftw! Pnin was the cutest little weird thing. I have Ada, or Ardor somewhere too, but I think I left it outside and it vanished.</p>
<p>Catch 22 :)</p>
<p>I actually wanted to read The Prince (assuming by Machiavelli) since it sounded kind of interesting in AP Euro, but I don’t think I could get through it if I tried!</p>
