I read The Devil Wears Prada. What was the point of Christian in the whole book, really? I haven't watched the movie so I don't know what Andrea and Christian do in it. I laughed at Andrea's misery just like everyone else.

Just got done reading 1984 for class. It messed me up in the head and I will never read it again! I personally thought that was a great book. But yeah, finished Catcher in the Rye for class. It was good, not great. -------------------- |

Hm... I think it was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Read it for fun in one day when I went to the beach a couple months back... I need to finish reading The Fountainhead, which was my summer read I only got about halfway through.

I'm currently reading 'Thirteen reasons why' by Jay Asher. It's great! We're going to read it in school after the holidays (yes, you read right. In Germany, we've only got summer holidays for six weeks but two weeks 'autumn holidays' after roughly eight weeks of school.). After that, I'm planning to read 'Hexagon' by Marc Kayser, the sequel to the German book 'Trias'. I'm pretty sure neither has been published in other languages...
Before that, I have to admit I read 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' by Matthew Stover, since I saw a quote and was instantly in love with the writing style. I'm normally not a fan of science-fiction, but it was still amazing... -------------------- |

I can't remember what, precisely, I just finished, so I'll give the last five, in no particular order, because I read them all around the same time:
Singularity's Ring by Paul Melko, which is a really nifty sci-fi about a particular group of people known as a pod, who operate and are considered to be one person, which is highly normal in their society, while singletons are the technical outcasts My umpteen-millionth rereading of the Harper Hall books Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, by Anne McCaffrey. I'm actually about to start on the third (also for the umpteen-millionth time). I really need to get new copies of these, or maybe the old hardcover omnibus, just to have it look pretty on my bookshelf, 'cause these poor books are almost literally falling apart, I've read them so much. Ranger's Apprentice: The Siege of Macindaw, by John Flanagan. I don't care what people say, I may be in my twenties, but a well-written book is always good, even if it's directed for a much younger audience. Besides, most of my favorite series' have female main characters. It's nice to have one that's male. Shade's Children, by Garth Nix. Another sci-fi, this one post-apocalyptic. It was kind of disturbing in some ways, and very graphic, but I love his writing style. I swear, he could write a textbook about how to draw right angles and I think I'd be enthralled. And last, but not least, Michelle Sagara's Cast in Silence. And I hate that I have to wait another year before the next installment of that series. It's fantastic, and I think the main character is so wonderfully three-dimensional that she could walk out of the book and pass as a normal human being ... because that's exactly what she is, and it's great. -------------------- |

Terrry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals. It was even more disappointing than Making Money - it was cluttered, and who cares about soccer anyway? Even the wizards were nowhere near as funny as usual, and both Ridcully and the former Dean seemed OOC. He's really been off his game since the brilliant Thud!

Novels by Naomi Novik and on the Nonfiction scene a book titled 'Rats' which basically goes through the history of rats vs mankind ect. It's a rather interesting read.

I recently finished Huckleberry Finn for my English class. Not the greatest book I've ever read, but it was alright.

One of the Harry Potter books... Half-Blood Prince, I think.
I really need to catch up on my reading, though; I started "The Amber Spyglass" and "War and Piece", and would really like to finish those off -_- -------------------- [align=center]add me for daily clicks [735/1000]

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by... something Ryan. It was an ok book, but I did not like the ending (and the fact that the main girl had to kill her true love since he turned into a zombie-thing)...
