Harry Potter 1.
But since I know your disdain for the wiz boy, I'll put down that I'm already reading, "What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Yancey.

Posted: 7/7/05 at 9:26pmAngela's Ashes..for Summer Reading for 11 AP English. It's actually quite an enjoyable book!
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Just finished The Devil's Teeth by Susan Casey. It's a fascinating chronicle about researchers documenting great white shark behavior around the Farralon Islands, thirty miles to the west of San Francisco.
Now reading: The Portrait by Iain Pears. It's a short novel exploring the relationship between two former friends, an artist and an art critic. The story is told as a monologue by the artist as he paints the critic's portrait, gradually uncovering his true nature. I'm enjoying it.

Still Life with Woodpecker-Tom Robbins
If you like Angela's Ashes...Read his continuing autobiography "'Tis," I loved them both...
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Don Quixote, and Freud and Man's Soul
I started reading Don Quixote last summer, but stopped when school started, because I really didn't have time to read it. At that point I was checking it out of the library, but somewhere during the school year, I bought a copy at Border's (but never actually read any of it until this summer). I tried picking up where I left off, but I realized I didn't remember where I was, and rereading the beginning couldn't hurt, anyway. And that's my story. 
Now I'm on page 130-something (which- I'm pretty sure- is beyond where I left off). 600 pages to go, but I'm looking foward to it.
Of course, as soon as the sixth Harry Potter book comes out, I'm afraid I'm going to have to temporarily forsake all other literary endeavours (as horrible as it sounds).

rereading Sense and Sensibility because I have been and always will be obsessed with Jane Austen
Just finished Michael Crichton's State of Fear and reccommend it to everyone. As an Environmental Science major, I found it incredibly interesting, because even as it is a fiction, his sources are all real and accurate. Especially interesting as the G8 discusses abrubt climate change...

Posted: 7/7/05 at 9:59pmI love Jane Austen, my favorite is Northanger Abbey, I love how the heroine actively clears up mix-ups/confusions instead of just lamenting it...

Just started "Latecomers" by Anita Brookner, about a friendship between two men who met as children in a school in England. They had been sent away from their families in Nazi Germany. I just started this so that's all I know about it, but it's beautiful writing so far.
Also reading "Stages of Meditation" by the Dalai Lama, which is actually a commentary on a rare text written in the 9th century by Kamalashila. It's about... the practice of meditation, naturally.
And re-reading parts of "I, Lucifer" by Glen Duncan for kicks.

Posted: 7/7/05 at 11:05pmORIGINAL STORY by Arthur Laurents. The theater stories are excellent, but Laurents goes into too much detail in describing Hollyood parties. Do we really have to know that Gene Kelly was bi-sexual?

I just finished Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-three of the World's Best Poems and as much as I intensly dislike Camille, I loved the book. I highly recommend it.
Tonight I begin Specimen Days, Michael Cunningham's new novel. I always feel like I've scored when I snag a first edition.
