Well, I have to read 4 books this summer. I've been out for two and a half weeks and I just started reading the first one yesterday. I decided to read the ones that don't have writing assignments with them first. Anyway, so right now I'm reading Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. It's... weird. Bery, very weird. Definitely weirder than Fahrenheit 451.

I read Titanic:the long night and the sequel Remember the Titanic a few months ago and both were so good I just haven't been able to read another thing. OOOOOOO I know! I'll go read them again and then come back and tell you that I'm reading them!

Currently reading "Bridget Jones's Diary." Hysterical. I read "The Outsiders" a long time ago. Good book. I'm not too keen on Bradbury (not a fan of science-fiction), but I did like "The Martian Chronicles."

I'm so glad I don't have to do summer homework anymore.

I'm not a science fiction fan either. I had to read Fahrenheit 451 in school for English, and I have to read Something Wicked this summer. lus, in seventh grade I had to read a Martian Chronicles condensed version thing or something.... Ayway, I prefer to stay away from science fiction, but there was a few books I LOVED that were science fic/fantasy. The His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. Really, really good!

Right now I'm reading The Diary of Anne Frank. My friends told me to read it and its pretty good.

The Outsiders is a good book. I had to read that last year.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is a very weird book. My English teacher made us watch the movie afterwords.

This will seem weird, because I am neither a parent nor a diabetic child, but I am reading "Parenting a Diabetic Child" by Gloria Loring because:

1. I've heard and read many other books about what a devastating disease Juvenile Diabetes is.

2. Gloria herself is a parent of a (now grown) diabetic child, and she seems very down-to-earth as she tells stories of her experiences raising him.

3. I have a history of diabetes in my family, so I have to watch out for myself.

Well I just got back from vacation! And I finished reading "Hitchhickers..." while at the beach. It was really weird, but sooooooo funny! (I demand that I am whateverhisnamewas. No I don't demand that. It is a fact that I am whateverthenamewas. We demand facts. No! What we demand is not facts...lol it was great) I also read Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. It was great, I really liked it...I would recomend (sp?) to anyone who like Anne of Green Gables...I have to order the other 2 sequels to "Hitchhikers.." off Amazon..has anyone read the sequels?!

We had to read 2 books and 3 plays over the summer to get into AP English, so I just finished Othello, Death of a Salesman, Our Town, The Scarlet Letter, and the Grapes of Wrath. Took me a while, but I got through them.

I have literally over 1,000 books in my house, so I'm not sure which one's I'm reading, and which ones I skim through because I'm bored. I'm currently waiting for the 9th Left Behind book, which I'm totally into! K, how can you not get into them?!?!?!? My only dissapointment with the series is the first book, and the fact that I've found typos. Each book is around 300 pages long, and I've found typos... Sad, isn't it? I'm not into fiction, unless it's realistic fiction. And I also have a policy that if the book is under 100 pages, I won't read it. I'm gonna go look at some of my books, brb... Back. One of my favorite books is The Sacred Stones, by William Sarabande. I can read it over and over, because it really has a lot of twists and turns so it's just a tad bit harder to recite it over again once you're through... Can anyone recommend me a good non-fiction or realistic fiction book? Oh, about AOGG... I <3 Anne's House of Dreams!!! Chapter 19, page 115. Dawn and Dusk... :::sigh::: I don't even have this book, I've read it 5 times, and I still cry every single time Joyce dies... (sniffle) I gotta stop typing, well, sue z q, at least I'm not off topic! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/lol.gif buh-byezies!

YES THIS BOOK WAS VERY DEPRESSING BUT AFTER READING HIS TWO FOLLOW UP BOOKS IT WAS CLEARLY INSPIRING THAT HE SURVIVED THE ORDEAL AND CAME TO BE A FINE MAN AND FATHER! IF IT'S INSPIRATION YOU WANT, THEN READ THE REST OF HIS STORY. IT CAN BE FOUND IN" THE LOST BOY " AND " A MAN CALLED DAVE" WHAT AN INSPIRATION!

Cool. I read that book in 8th grade. It's a good book and the ending is even better IMO.

I just started this book called Pigs In Heaven. It's soo boaring, but I have to read it for homework.

Oh, I did not like that book at all. I read it in Lit II this past school year, and it really wasn't all that my teacher put it up to be. I guess it paid off, since we got to watch "Dead Poet's Society" after we finished.
