I'm reading Homer's The Odyssey for English next year. I didn't like it so much in the beginning, but now the pace is starting to speed up a little and I'm finding it to be rather interesting.

It's good. Seems a little boring earlier but really turns out to be good. I'm not even finished either though. I've heard of that book but haven't looked in to it..

I'm reading Interview with the Vampire By Anne Rice
![[SIGPIC]](http://www.teenhelp.org/signaturepics/sigpic6294_2.gif)
Some say the world will end in fire Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great And would suffice.

^what I'm reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I was never required to read it in high school, but I thought it sounded good when I read the reviews so I decided to read it. I really like it so far. I've read 1984 and really liked that as well.

^just started it, finally finished Brave New World. The last three chapters were excruciatingly hard to understand lol. I'll probably end up re reading it someday, but this book looks like its going to be really good I'm already to page 36.

Night and Day --Virginia Woolf. Very slow-going so far. I borrowed it off a friend who said it took her six tries before she made it through--think I'm on about page six.
let me light up the sky, light it up for you
let me tell you why, i would die for you
When you whisper, you must be absolutely as sincere as when you scream. 9 out of every 10 problems in relationships can be solved by talking. So why are we so damn quiet?

Mr. Darcy's Diary, by Amanda Grange. Basically, P&P from his perspective. Interesting and worth the read for all fans of the book, but I'm not sure I'll be buying it any time soon.

just read ANGELS AND DEMONS by DAN BROWN - much much much better than the film 
STORY OF A GIRL by SARA ZARR - very good, about overcoming being labelled the "school slut"
"He who does not weep, does not see" - Les Miserables.
keep reaching and living your lives. you are who you are.

Found the survival guide first then on the same day stumbled upon the other one. Decided to get both to see if the Zombies would be the same. Or rather, if the zombies in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies would be correct according to the official Zombie Survival Guide.
Take me seriously.
I dare you.

I didn't finish the last book I was reading (The Brothers Karamazov). It's quite long, tedious, and very philosophical. I like it, but I need a break from it. So, now I turn to Martin's third book in the series....I'll finish the other book when I'm done with this.

I just finished The Book Thief, I'd have to say so far thats the best book I've ever read up next to one of my other favorites To Kill A Mockingbird. Next book I'm starting is The Giver. I know its a book most people read in middle school, well I never read it and it looks good so thats what I'm going to read.

Great book, very Jane Austen (but slightly more modern; in a refreshing way, not an "updated" way). I'll definitely buy it if I see it anywhere.
The language is a bit easier. Again, it's more modern, but not to the extreme where it's not in Austen's style.
I'm really getting into all the P&P spin-offs at the moment xD
let me light up the sky, light it up for you
let me tell you why, i would die for you
