Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix since I didn't get finished with my rereading before HBP came out.
BTW Papa, Pat Conroy is one of my favorite authors. I loved My Losing Season, but Beach Music is still my favorite book.

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Austen. The subplot with the younger sister's marriage is melodramatic to the point of being silly, but I can't help but like the main couple.
The Once and Future King by T.H. White.
The Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover - Kinky Friedman
I am trying to get through Harry Potter 5, but it seems nearly impossible! It is going so, so slow it seems like!
I am not currently reading anything right now, but the last 3 books I have read are:
1.) HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE (AMAZING book)
2.) ODD THOMAS--Dean Koontz (Great book. I actually teared up at the end)
3.) A Long Way Down--Nicholas Hornby (Good book, although it became a drag towards the end).
Right now I am looking for a book to read. Will update later.

Curently reading: Oliver Twist
I need to read more Dickens.
I hate it when I enter a book store and I forget what I want to read and head to the manga section...then realize I don't even know what manga to read and head to the drama section...etc.
What books do you guys and girls like so much that you read it over and over and over again? Mine is:
LIGHTNING by Dean Koontz........LOVE!!!!!
I'm currently re-reading (for like the 21st time) Thomas Harris' "Red Dragon"
Next in line: The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince....which I can now finish, since I exchanged my original copy. Seems the first one I bought was missing the last 20 pages! Glad I wasn't one of those people who had to have it at midnight and then read it straight through....can you imagine? Getting that far, and then reading a sentence that starts "Without..." and not having the rest of the book!
The Human Stain by Philip Roth and Stella Adler on Checkov, Ibsen & Stridberg
