As i post i'm actually reading a book. yay! It's titled 'Promiscuities' by Naomi Wolf. It's for my sociology class. I'm on page 5. I've got over 250 pages to read before my exam tomorrow
But of course I'm posting instead of reading. I can't get myself to read 
I laugh more than I cry

I can't concentrate for long enough to read a book...the last one I read was a couple of years back, probably would've been the Aerosmith autobiography.
This post is highly unlikely to be serious. Please treat it accordingly. Unless it's music-related, in which case I'm damn well right.

I've just bought the book to the TV series 'Taken' so i'm gonna give that a read. Then I might reread the Harry Potetr books in time for the new one!When you left I lost a part of me, It's still so hard to believe

I'm reading a Dean Koontz novel. It's an interesting book. Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. I either read a John Saul novel or a Dean Koontz novel, they're both great suspense novel writers.
Favorite new shows this fall season '06
1. Heroes
2. Ugly Betty
3. Six Degrees

Totally agree! The first hundred or so pages were also difficult for me but after that it goes smoothly until the end and I even didn't want to stop reading Originally Posted by Dazzle

I'm reading the book of 'Catch Me If You Can', it is so different from the movie, and WAAAY funnier...
PS: If you are looking for an answer in your lifes, try to read: 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coello, it is by far, the best book I've ever read

I am reading 'The Ghost of Tricia Martin' (which has a story line almost as genius as the title
...yeah, well it's Sweet Valley High- what do you expect?)
I should be reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird' (for English) which actually seems quite good so far.It became scond nature,
So easy to see,
Myself as a reflection,
Of what you thought of me.

If you mean the most important book by Miguel de Cervantes, huge Spanish author, ("Don Quijote" in original) then yes I've read it. Originally Posted by Skelofect

I'm currently reading Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" nearly finished now! It's hilarious, a really good book.

Err right now I'm reading a French Literatue book "Fables"!
If you want to read it, I'll send you a copy.
Warning: Stories are childish and might get boring after the first two lines.
I have it for the final exams. :evil:

I'm reading this book called "Red Sky In The Morning" by Elizabeth Laird. It's a book for younger readers, but my mate loaned it, saying it's really moving, and amen to that, it really is.
