<p>Dubliners - James Joyce</p>

<p>finishing Special Topics In Calamity Physics. it's pretentious, bute cutely pretentious. fun reading.</p>

<p>up next is probably Black Boy by Richard Wright</p>

<p>A good romance novel.....Wuthering Heights!!! :) Or anything by Jane Austen?</p>

<p>1984-george orwell its amazing!</p>

<p>A really good biography of Einstein</p>

<p>Some Kafka</p>

<p>Just finished...
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
"Complications" by Atul Gawande (a great read if you're into medicine)</p>

<p>Now reading "Debunking 9/11 Myths" by people from Popular Mechanics!</p>

<p>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Robert Pirsig.</p>

<p>Since HP 7 came out, I've read it twice, plus Stage Fright and now I'm reading Death of the Party. </p>

<p>Before that I read Elements of Style and Bachelor Girls, both by Wendy Wasserstein and both excellent. I highly recommend them.</p>

<p>A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving</p>

<p>It was a great book, I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone. I know a few people are probably turned off by the Christianity thing, but that's not really a big deal.</p>

<p>Brave New World - Aldous Huxley</p>

<p>It was part of my summer reading and it was definitely different, but a lot of the points are still so valid today. I can't wait to get Island and read it. Huxley's a great author.</p>

<p>Well, right now I'm re-reading "Dust Tracks on a Road" by Zora Neale Hurston. But there's a series of books that I have heard about and want to read. Has anyone read or heard of "Twilight," "New Moon," or "Eclipse?" Please let me know what you think of these books. Thanks!</p>

<p>I saved up all my reading skillz for HP7. I'm about to start re-reading it soon, since I just finished with classes and will have the time. I will be reading alot for World Lit in the fall (Macbeth! yay!) so I don't feel the need to read a bunch this summer.</p>

<p>i havn't read for fun since junior high :-( and im gonna be a junior in college rofl</p>

<p>(minus harry potter)</p>

<p>The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Ender series by Orson Scott Card</p>

<p>Since I finished Deathly Hallows,
Manifold Space - Stephen Baxter
Manifold Time - Stephen Baxter</p>

<p>Now, I've been rereading the whole HP series. I haven't read any of them since the first time after each came out. It's so fun now!</p>

<p>Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. Third in the Twilight series... the second one is New Moon.</p>

<p>I re-read "To Kill a Mockingbird", "The Words of Martin Luther King, Jr.", and a little book called "Dharma Leads the Way" (a translation/compilation of some Buddhist (Pali) texts/lessons).</p>

<p>Red Dragon and The Catcher in the Rye. I want to read some Paolo Coelho but I need money to get his books.</p>

<p>I just finished reading almost everything by Mercedes Lackey (about 40 books since January). </p>

<p>I'm currently reading Elizabeth Moon's <em>Hunting Party</em>, because I've bought some of her recent books that are related, but I've forgotten the stories.</p>

<p>I've also read <em>College Rules!</em> (awesome!)--I highly recommend this to every single college student!!!!!!</p>

<p>I'm currently going through <em>Campus Confidential</em>.</p>

<p>^That's funny! I just finished skimming Campus Confidential. I read "Of Mice and Men" and HP and I want to start "East of Eden" asap. I highly recommend the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian (you know that the movie master and commander was based on) ... so well written; I'm reading "Desolation Island" right now.</p>
