| The title is pretty self explanatory. If so, also include a little information on why you're reading it or if you like it, or other such things. I am currently reading : Jurassic Park(I've been doing so for almost 3 years now) Mobile Suit Gundam(The novel) Neuromancer The Two Towers(I know, it's shameful I haven't read it all the way yet) Still on the "going to read" list : Gojiro Giants of Japan Ok, a lot of the books I'm reading I have been doing so for a long time now. Some of them, like The Two Towers and Jurassic Park I've been meaning to read for a long time and started 3 years ago but have just started to read it again. Gundam I started reading this summer while commuting for summer college courses and Neuromancer I started last month and its really enthralling. Even though I like to read, I can never improve my reading speed. I always take a long time to read books. Unless I need to do it AND I really want to read it, then I can finish it in like a month.(To Kill a Mockingbird, Kitchen God's Wife to a much lesser degree) This pile of books has been stacking up on my desk for a while and I think I should really read them. BTW: I was a fan of LOTR way before the movies came out, I just never got around to finish reading it. (edited by The Dogan on 03-13-05 07:19 PM) |

| Jurassic Park is excellent. I love Michael Chricton. As a 5th grader, I got the Lost World, and read the two parts backwards, but whatever. They're both excellent. I just finished reading Catcher In the Rye, and I'm not sure where I'm going next. Maybe Consipracy of Fools if I can find it. |

Originally posted by Tarale Yes, PoA is the one after Chamber. I, like, just finished reading all five currently-released HP books. Started reading them because of the Hogwarts story in the SF, and I must say I'm looking forward to Half-Blood Prince's release this July...  Other than that, I just got the colorized version of Bone: Out from Boneville. Pretty awesome. |

| Michael Crichton also recently released State of Fear, no? I liked Jurassic Park, but it would be obvious for me to say that a few environmentalists, including myself, disagree with a few things in that new novel I mentioned (it slams the global warming theories, basically). I'm reading Huck Finn and Catcher in the Rye. Not like that matters.  |

| The book I am currently reading is Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson. It's about the English language and its origins. I finished reading The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Robert Louis Stevenson) Wednesday last. I'd read it before, but I was inspired to do so again. The assorted books on my beside, all of which I have read part of recently or plan to read soon, are: The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde. George Orwell essays collection. Science: A History, John Gribbin. Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Ulysses, James Joyce. Nature's Building Blocks, John Emsley. (About the periodic table of elements.) |

| I started reading Shakespear's "The Merchant of Venice", in English at school....we've gotten up to like...the 4th act or so, and its not THAT bad. I don't understand alot of it, which was the problem when I read Julius Ceasar, also by Shakespear. I guess that's why I find alot of his stuff boring, though supposedly he was the greatest writer ever to exist, so it must just be me I also concidered picking up Don Quijote (I bet I raped the spelling on that), since my spanish teacher hyped that book for like, an entire class. Though, I doubt I'll ever get to it. Only other thing I'm currently reading...well, its hardly a novel, but I picked up volume 1 of Fruit's Basket (a manga ), and have been contently reading through most of it on and off. |

| Currently Reading Harry Potter 1 through five. [Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, and Order of the Phoenix] I said 1 through five because I will read every book in continuos order. At the moment I'm finish the first one, as soon as that is done it's onward to the others. The reason? I need to get into book mode before HP and Half-Blood Prince* or whatever the hell it is called. Next -HP Half-Blood Prince* -Jurassic Park [I haven't actually read this yet. It is sad] *Edit: Yeah, Half-blood Prince. Damn it. Why the hell was I thinking 'Prince of Blood'?
