Chlocephus Sailor_Chibi I have, much to my shock. It was called Cue for Treason, and as books go, it was definitely no Harry Potter but it was still a pretty good book. I actually wouldn't mind reading it again now. eek Wow. Well that's good. smile I was expecting to read some good classics this year as I'm starting high school. Like To Kill A Mockingbird or something you can read just to say you read it. But nooo, we get this little book called The Bean Trees about some Kentucky chick who gets knocked up. Hardly any dialogue. I hate books with little dialogue. Oh no! I had to read that one... They replaced The Tale of Two Cities with that novel in high school curiculum. Bad.

Yenearsira Inherit the Wind. It's actually a play, but it's wonderful. And Uncle Tom's Cabin. Very good as well. What are the books you are reading currently? Right now I'm reading So Long And Thanks For All The Fish, the fourth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy (yes, yes I know "trilogy" means three, but in this series it doesn't). I'm really loving them. I want to get this one done before school starts so I can have the fifth one to read in classes... but I'll probably end up reading my summer reading book in classes.. XD

I like description, but it can't be overwhelming. I mean, if someone enters a new room, I'd like to know what the room looks like, but I don't need to know every single detail down to the amount of dust on the windowpane.

I will begin reading either The Noivce or rereading Son of The Shadows. *nods* Oh, and for summer reading I have to read, Antigone, Oedopus, and Electra. Three plays. *nods* 3nodding

Never heard of any of those books. sweatdrop My teachers, to give them their credit, usually try to assign books that will keep our attention, and so that we won't mind reading them so much.

But it's easier to lug around. wink Haha.. forty-two... It's fun to answer people's questions with that. Great looks on their faces.
