Oh, yes, school reading. I'm on to The Condition of the Working Class in England. That's Frederich Engels, yo.
Sounds fascinating, Plum.
I'm reading Faulkner's Light in August and I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm constantly on a Harry Potter kick. Harry is life for me.
My freakin US history textbook. It doubles as a sleeping aide.

Right now, the new translation of "Night" by Elie Weisel. It's haunting.

And for my next seminar , I shall somehow polish off North and South and a bunch of critical readings while writing a poli sci paper by Tuesday. Yay!
In my English class we're reading "The Catcher in the Rye". It's an okay book. Next we're gonna read "Huck Finn" which I'm excited for. Outside of school I'm not really reading anything. Haven't really found anything interesting to read.

Reading a bunch of plays by Conor McPherson. "This Lime Tree Bower" is an amazing play, as is "The Weir". You all should read them, especially if you have a love for good drama and Ireland. Great stuff.

Currently re-reading Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
I loved that book, Spidey. Did you notice the chapter numbers?
I'm supposed to be reading "Teacher Man" by the guy that wrote Angela's Ashes (Name escaping me at the moment) for book club but I'm having a horrible time getting into it. Instead I picked up the "Burn Journals" which is really interesting.

Frank McCourt.
I'm reading No Ordinary Time for the second time. It's a fine essay source, but it also makes me cry every once in a while with the parallels and sad non-parallels to the history we're living now.
still reading Xenia, biography of the last Tsars sister
and started Night by Elie Wiesel
Night is truley amazing. LOVE the new translation.
I just finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult. Now I'm on Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner.
Does anyone know of a really great biography of Bette Davis?
JLSat--Yes, I did. When I first started, I was like "What is up with these chapters" but then he explained it and all was well with the world.
I'm reading A Challenge For The Actor by Uta Hagen. It's like reading one of my psych text books, heh. She was a very interesting woman I'll have to check out her first book as well.
Seven Up, Janet Evanovich. I always resort to Stephanie Plum when nothing strikes my fancy at the moment.
