At the moment I'm reading Hell Bent For Leather, Confessions of a Heavy Metal Addict by Seb Hunter. I'm practically finished it, but meh. :P

Do you have Mobile Library? That place is a nightmare if you're an accidental book stealer.

I tend to do that too. Once I "stole" a cummerbund and bow tie from my band class. That is probably the most bizarre thing I've ever "stolen". Supposedly, they're supposed to stop you from passing the year if you don't return it, but that never seems to happen.

Of course, nothing could beat one of my friends from theatre class. Until his last year, he never returned any of his textbooks.

Wild Animus. Only halfway through but it sucks so much I got discouraged to continue.

I'm reading The Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain to my other list of books.

The introduction says I will either love him or hate him. I'm trying to decide which I am.

I still have The Silmarillion sitting on my shelf from when I started reading it about six months ago, still haven't got around to finishing it. I intend to purchase and read The Da Vinci Code over the holidays :)

Ah yes, Martin the Warrior, very good book ^_^

I've finished the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, and I'm now on the sequel, the Angel's Command. Very good so far :D

Currently reading 'Golden Fool' by Robin Hobb.

Ahem. Which book would you be talking about? I'm reading HP5, Soldier of the Great War, the MasterHarper of Pern, and another one off my mom's shelf that I can't remember the title of at the moment.

Oh Tom Robbins, how I love you. Nothing funny.


Heh, we seem to have similar tastes. I just finished Jitterbug Perfume, and I'm about done with Skinny Legs and All. I'll have to pick up some more of his books in the future since I've really enjoyed them. Reminds me of a philosophical Christopher Moore.

Anyway, I'm reading, along with what I mentioned above, Treasure by Clive Cussler. It'll be my first Dirk Pitt book, though I've got more stashed somewhere to keep me entertained this summer. They're so hilariously extravagant and entertaining. "The lost treasures of Alexandria are found...and Egypt's and Mexico's leaders are being kidnapped!" Awesome.

I'm also rereading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, just for kicks. I remember it as being pretty good from when I read it in fourth grade, and I still like it. Along with that, I'm reading Voyager by Diana Gabaldon (if you've even heard of the Outlander series, I will love you forever!) and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. Both are great so far.

I'll be picking up James Clavell's Asian saga sometime in the near future too.

I really do have too many books to read...

Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut. Not quite the sci-fi it sounds like.........

"Hoot" by Carl Hiaalson (I think).

It's a bit young for me, but I heard it was good so I'm trying it.
