When I was a child, I was nearly eaten by a giraffe, one of those rare, child eating ones. I'm terrified of your screenname.
But enjoy the book!

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostovo.
And I LOVE A Clockwork Orange. One of my favorite books. Woo for Russian words!

BluCat I haven't read "Life of Pi" either so you're not the only one lol. Anyway, I'm currently reading "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien for English. I started "Little Women" a while ago but wanted to get some of my summer reading done with. I can't wait for the 2nd book in the Eragon trilogy "Eldest". Has anyone read Eragon? It's really good.

"The Things They Carried" is excellent. I too read it for English. Watch out for that lemon tree.

You have to watch out for those child-eating ones, they like to sneak up on you in the dark.
If I get into AP English I will be re-reading 1984.
question-Am I the only one who hated Fahrenheit 451 and thought that it was a failed attempt at what 1984 accomplished?

1984 scared me to death. I picked the worst time to read it too - 8/11.
Never got around to reading Fahrenheit 451.

A couple of my friends have recommended it to me...
The first few pages have grabbed my attention.

House of Mirth! I LOVE Wharton!
Age of Innocence is my favorite. (Even the movie was pretty good)
I love her books b/c at the end you are bawling but still want to throw the book across the room....but, after you re-read them, you understand why it had to end the way it did.

Finished Woodward's The Secret Man ... eh... and Iain Pears' The Portrait...a little odd and moody but I liked it. Currently working on Misfortune...the jury is still out and it could go either way.
