I've got two books sitting in my room that aren't text books that I've been wanting to read, but just haven't found the spare time to pick them up and read. One of them is Stephen King's The Stand, and I'm a good few pages into it, and the other is a Dean Koontz book that looked interesting while my grandma and I were at Half-Price Books.
Other than that, I've mostly been reading my text books and wonderful s**t like that. =D

The Stand is batshitting, insanely AWESOME! It's well worth the time to read but you WILL be REALLY creaped out when you read it.
Reading textbooks is so not fun. :p

Actually, one of the books for my English class isn't half-bad. It's got excerpts from all sorts of awesome books I'd probably never read otherwise. (:
But other than THAT book, they all suck. ):

My accounting textbook is too heavy - but it's for 3 upper level accounting classes so I can't complain TOO much. But it has good examples.
My international finance book's badly written and ugly green colored all over.
My IS books have NO point to them since we learn everything from Excel's "Help" option or for Javascript, from W3Schools.com.
My Banking class has no text book - because of this I love that professor. <3
I've had some text books I LOVED though. Like...
I had a comparative religions class - we had one World Religions book by like Houston Smith, it was FANTASTIC. (and small sized too!) And for a Survey of Rock'n'Roll class we had another History of Rock'n'Roll textbook (SMALL SIZED! not backbreaky!) and it was made of win. Those two I kept. I guess my anthropology textbook was ok too - I kept it. And my Fundamentals of Corporate Finance Book I kept because it was written FANTASTICALLY and taught finance math hella good - we taught my brother how to do one of the interest problems his pre-calc book didn't go through how to do but asked him to do anyway.

My two books for English are very different. One's a editing book, and the other is a bunch of excerpts from other books.
My math textbook is ******** deadly! It's heavy, and it was too much money. Lucky for me, it's good for my next math course, too! =D
My speech book is a flimsy paperback that I've hardly read, and I probably should read it more so I'll be better prepared for the final exam, even if most of the questions are based on answers of "How should this be answered in a perfect world?"
While I hate those questions, the answers are relatively easy to find. (:
Lucky me, though. My history teacher said we didn't have to buy our book, but we could if we really wanted to. Mostly because she said we'd get most of our answers in the lectures. Also because she said she'd rather see us eat for a month rather than fork over the money for the damn book. =D
