Artemis Fowl, one of my favorites, a reread.

I'm reading A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeliene L'Engle. It is pretty good so far, but there are some parts I don't really understand. I like her style though.

I'm also starting on To Kill a Mockingbird.

ooh i love that series! first book is my favorite, but i didn't like the 3rd book. and after the 3rd book i kinda gave up in it because i was so disappointed..

of course thats just me, i have a friend who absolutely adores the 3rd book, we had a huge argument about it i remember :P :oops:

currently i'm reading the last hero by terry pratchett, shouldn't take me long, its a sorta picture book.

i'm also reading a bunch of graphic novels someones dumped on me, they are by neil garmain (sp?) they are really good, i love the artwork, unfortunately, the person who lent me the books doesn't have the complete serices, and its good enough i might see if i can get it :)

Well, just finished Watership Down, haven't decided yet what to read next. Considering Ender's Game for no particular reason, but I might change my mind.

Ender's Game is fabulous. You should read it. :)

I'm finishing up Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett, and the Canterbury Tales. You guess which one is for school. :P

Personally I feel that "The Rowan", which is the 4th book and the 4 that follow are the best part of the series. I liked the 3rd book. I just felt it was a little odd that "Rowan" was the 3rd book for a long time , then she wrote "Pegasus in Space" as the 3rd book. I atually read "Rowan" first not realizing that there were 2 books that preceeded it. I only found out because my local library labels books by the series as well as author and title and "Rowan" was labeled as 4th in the series. I tracked down the first 3 and read them as wekk. Helped make a lot more sense out of everything.

Gee, that's awkward.

for some reason, i consider the rowan, and all the other books after the rowan as a separate series. if you include those, then the rowan was my favorite book, but after the bashing it got from an ultra feminist who i lent the look, i slipped to second.

damia was good because it was an extention of the rowan, but i got a bit bored after that. plus no library seems to have the series either, and with the amount i read, it costs a fortune to buy every book i'm interested in. i've gone over 200 points (thats $1 for every point) at dymocks alone, and i've only had the card for 1 year. and i went to the library during that time too. :oops:

i've read some of the pern series as well, i thought they were good, but another book, the ship who sang was REALLY good. i also like the acorna series

The Da Vinci Code by I forget who. Dan Brown or something I think. I'm gonna read Angels and Demons or something like that afterwards cause 'll probably finish tonight. I'm on chapter 80-something :P.

reading?
origin by stephen baxter ("the fermi paradox is revealed in all its glorious simplicity in this final shocking chapter to the manifold series"...actually that might be the tag line for phase space, but whatever, the entire series is about the fermi paradox anyways)
on-and-off anyway, most my times consumed by burning hate, college work and writing three books simeltaneously.
that got confusing quickly, i can assure you.

I am reading Narcisuss in Chains by Laurel K. Hamilton.

It is an Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel and it is great so far.

Really, any book where a woman kicks butt is great.

I already have. I'm too cheap/broke to be buying any new books at the moment. =P

I'm off to go buy the new Terry Pratchett Discworld book and the next bartimeous trilogy one.

I'm re-reading Down Under by Bill Bryson.
Afterwards i might read A Town Like Alice again, because Down Under keeps reminding me of it.
