Well, I'm not reading anything right now, but last night I finished Le Petit Prince in French XDD The last voluntary (AKA not needed for school) was Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult. GREAT book!

Right now I'm reading a book I got for Christmas called In The President's Secret Service by Ronald Kessler. It's about the Secret Service and the security around the White House/President. It also includes anecdotes about the President, his family, and other political officials. I really like it so far.

i'm reading and cleaning up my newest story for my book...

Pride and Prejudice is light reading for me.=3
In fact, I think that's what I'll read during my break at work today.

John dies at the end by David Wong. ^^;;

I WAS reading Science of the Discworld 3, Darwins Watch, but i left it at home before leaving for uni. So, it's going to be a book called Atlantis. I forget who it's by though.

I've just started reading City of Bones. I must say I'm suprised at how good it is so far. I didn't expect much from it. Now I need to buy the other two...

I read multiple books at the same time lol..The ones I am reading right now are Mists of Avalon, Hell Girl Volume 1, and Sybil.:)

Well, I'm not implying it's heavy reading, maybe I should've referred to Dead As A Doornail as my pulp reading instead. :P

I'm currently leafing through various books on fairy tales. It is for an essay, but it's so much fun I keep getting tempted to read parts that are completely irrelevant. Which wouldn't really matter but for the fact I need to finish my essay tomorrow, hah.
I love the more faithful, gruesome versions of fairy/folk tales.

And it baffles me that, when people see me reading Pride & Prejudice, they think I'm reading it for school.

Anyway, I'm going back and forth between P&P, and The Reincarnationist by M.J. Rose.

So far it's been rather fascinating. The only things that force me to put it down are work, the needs for food and sleep, and coming on here.
Or P&P.

It's just because it is so commonly read for school and a lot of people don't like being forced to read a book for school, so they won't like the book on principle. Which is why a lot of classic literature has been stamped as boring in the minds of people (young people especially).

Hm.
Not that it's been in the curriculum for any of the local schools here, but I do understand the view of any classics as boring and/or a chore.

I guess you could say it amuses me, that people think I have to read it for school, rather than that I'm reading it for fun. It's my second favorite book (the first being The Secret Garden), and I don't know how many times I've read it now.

I am currently reading Throne of Jade, book two of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik :)

just finished "a note of madness"
cant wait to get "a voice in the distance" ^^

I am currently reading the "Harry Potter" series again. I am reading the fourth one right now. I love it, it is my favorite.

I've been on a Stephen King binge lately.
Finished Carrie a while back, but I've been busy with school finals, so I haven't been able to read a whole lot.
I'm reading Cujo right now. I'm not very far into it. Looking forward to reading The Shining and Misery.

Hey! I LOVE Stephen King. I'm reading his new one right now actually, Under The Dome. It is superfantastic. :)

I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. As much as I love the book it now scares me as ever since my grammar has improved, I have had thoughts in the back of my mind saying things like "Should there be a comma there?" or "has has? Where is ze comma?" Never used to bother me at all x.x I still enjoy reading it though.

Stephen King xD I plan to start reading The Dark Tower - The Gunslinger by him, having heard that he is a very good writer. (Been meaning to read one of his books for ages >.<)

:O Lemon, the Dark Tower series is my favorite series ever! I love those books. I would wholehearedly totally recommend The Gunslinger to you. It's awesome. *thumbs up*

And I think I know what you mean about Harry Potter, heh. I love those books but J.K. definitely improved as a writer throughout the series.

Right now I am reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and New Moon.

At the moment i am reading
Pandora's Daughter by Iris Johansen
and Future Diary Vol. 1

I would like to say that I reading the 5th or 6th book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, but I haven't picked it up since this last summer.

i'm currently reading Merrick by Anne Rice. I'm also in the middle of The Illiad by Homer.

I'm still reading Cujo, but I finally got to the intense, awesome part. XP
Been able to read tons lately due to waiting time at the end of finals during classes.
I'm totally going to read the Darktower series one of these days. But, I'm really interested in reading The Green Mile series. Probably because I want to see the movie again with Tom Hanks.

Right now I'm reading Anna Karenina... but I will probably abandon it when classes start next week. I'll be reading all kinds of different world lit for my Intro to World Lit class. :P
