Re-reading HP 5. And I'm still reading The Good Earth.

The Man Who Made Lists: Love, Death, Madness, and the Creation of Roget's Thesaurus- Joshua Kendall.

Slightly boring biography but the title is incredible. ^_^

Wow, Artemis Fowl is cool! I loved the first 2 books (the 2nd esp.).
Reading the 'Old man & the sea'.

The second one is the best.

Currently reading Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy (returning to childrens books has been...interesting). Oh and Romeo and Juliet for school.

I found Romeo & Juliet so-so. But Julius Caesar was awesome!!!

I like it so far. Of course for some reason the fact that we're reading it means that our teacher is making us watch the movie, the one with Leonardo DiCaprio in it, and it looks like it was the product of a reading of the play and a lot of drugs.

Reading Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood. It's really good.

Looking back, I kinda hate the Leo version. The one with Olivia Hussey is so much better.

At the moment, I haven't really decided to like it or hate it yet, since we're only at the ball scene. But I'm leaning more towards hate.

And why is there a choir singing Prince... :huh:

I thought Romeo and Juliet is a bit okay too.

Does anyone here have to read another one of Shakespeare's plays over the summer?

No. Our school system (or just our school, which is more likely) seems to think our brains can't handle reading books over the summer.

Reading Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett and
Murder Most Rare: The Female Serial Killer by Michael D. Kelleher& C. L. Kelleher. (non-fiction)

What I don't like about Romeo & Juliet is the ending. It's supposed to be tragic but I found it quite the opposite.

I'm reading Sammy Keyes- 11th book.

Re-reading Harry Potter 6. And it looks like I'm the only person here who has to read Shakespeare over the summer for homework, I guess.
