I am reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Silent Spring. If you read them I wanna hear what you thought, and what the main idea is about.

I'm finishing A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. It's about a girl who was given to an abusive foster parent after her mother died and since then, her life spirals out of control due to drink, drugs and 'turning tricks' (giving sexual favours for money) to make a living.

I'm taking that book on holiday, and when I finish it I'm going to read Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, which just got delivered to my house this morning. I'm so excited, I can't wait to find out what heppens next. Cute

I'm going through a bunch of Stephen King books. They work everytime.
I started reading Twilight yesterday (know it's old!), and I absolutely love it!

And if anyone from Sweden's on, you should read Katarina von Bredow's books, they're nice! Very Happy

College didn't give me a list and say 'you have to read this', but I've been reading a lot of books anyway. Actually, last time I checked, 25 books D:
This is what comes of being bored as hell. I won't post the whole list but some of my favourites have been Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), Midnight's Children (Salman Rushdie) and Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë. All of which I would highly recommend.

Wuthering Heights is an amazing book. I wanted to read it after watching the musical and I prefer the book. Sorry Cliff. It is just perfect.

I read Its Kind Of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, and Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta.

I loved Saturday, it was my favourite so far :]

At the moment I'm reading Bombproof by Michael Robotham, (I got it free with Superior Saturday tehe ) I didn't like it atfirst but it's got better as I got more into the plot. Also reading Robin of Sherwood by I-can't-remember-who, it's strange. I don't know if I like it or not. I've also got the Day After Tomorrow, which I like but can't be bothered to read :B

I just finished the new Artemis Fowl book too. I didn't think there would be another one, when I saw it in Borders it made me happy. In Love I squealed and ran over to the kid's section and they looked at me strange : P

When you're really bored you should try reading Arabian Nights/One Thousand and One Nights.
You'll love the stories.
I'm finishing the first volume out of, I dunno, I think 13.
Cute

I read 16 books this summer.

for school assignments, i have to read the Lord of the Flies byt William Golding.
but i've read a bunch of stuff, the only one i can remember at the moment being As Simple As Snow by Gregory Galloway. truly amazing book.

and to anyone who has to read Jonathan Livingston Seagull, you have my sympathies. read it in 6th grade and i am forever haunted by the whole weird seagull thing. and the movie is even worse.
