i are reading Torey hayden - the tiger child!
Torey hayden books are beast! 
You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body by Armand Marie Leroi
It's not a textbook, it's a narrative on various genetic disorders, the genetic code, some history of discoveries, etc... .
Here's the cover of it: http://images.booksamillion.com/cove...0142004820.jpg
Although now, it's back to reading Fundementals of Human Anatomy and Physiology.. 1100+ page book (another 1000+ page book on the bookshelf)...

Les Miserables (woe is me that I've forgotten the shortcut for accents) by Victor Hugo
It reminds me a bit of A Tale of Two Cities.
I came across a copy of the Barnes & Noble Classics booklist. There are around 200 books on it, and I'm trying to read 50 in 2009. That's roughly a book a week, and I'm doing pretty good. So far, I've read Pride and Prejudice, The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories, and Les Miserables.
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?

Currently I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why, Purpose For The Pain, and Julius Caesar. I have yet to touch The Murder of Bindy Mackenzie. (:
I also want to buy a few new books today if I can convince my mom to take me to Barnes & Noble!

Also- Eclipse again, and still reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Rereading Speak.

I liked Romeo an Juliet! Not the characters, though, I can agree with you there. You have to look at them in a different way though. Imagine they were being acted out. You miss a lot when all you can do is read their lines. I imagine it's much better live.
Anyway:

I'm in the middle of "Go Ask Alice". It is a true story, apparently. Some people don't think it is. I think it is very good! Very gripping and shocking.
I don't read many books but I have a few I would like to read.
