hi. I know there was a topic about this before, but I've tried searching for it, but cannot find it. blah. so here goes:
read any good books lately?!
I need some ideas.....I'm reading the Adrien Mole Diaries right now. it's hilarous. Reminds me of Bridget Jones' Diary (the book was better than the movie, imho!)





hi. edited b/c I can't code for my life :):wave: :happyface :lol: :talk: :D

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. A very good book. You might not like it though because just about everyone in my grade hated it.

I just finished Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
It took me 1 month but was soooooooo worth it!!

I've read all the Harry Potter books... yeah the 3rd one ~ Azkaban is my fave though.
Great Expectations ~ actually we're gonna be reading this in English after we finish what we're reading now ~ Othello

Lately? I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire... I'm reading The Golden Compass for a second time; it's a really great book. Oh, and right now in English we're reading A Tale of Two Cities. It's pretty good so far, but I'm only on the first chapter of Book the Second.

I'm reading the whole Herculeah Jones series by Betsy Byers. VERY good books if you like mysteries! :D

I'm reading TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee.

To Kill a Mockingbird...

We are reading The Count Of Monte Cristo in English right now....its pretty good...the movie just came out too and its awesome! I suggest reading this book....its really good.

I just finished The Outsiders, and I'm about to read The Hobbit and the rest of the trilogies.

I just finished reading The Business of Fancydancing by Sherman Alexie and Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca's La Relacion. Both for a class, and I had to write papers on them! :p I also had to read The Gender of Sexuality

Coming up for classes, I have to read:
The Flivver King
Beloved
So Far From God
Two Years in the Melting Pot
Political Process and the Development of Black Insurgency, 1930-1970
and
White Weddings: Romancing Heterosexuality in Popular Culture

The fiction I've been reading have all been:

-Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austen (my fave book)
-Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
-A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
-A Room With a View by E. M. Forster

I know, I like the girly books

BTW, I'm a huge nonfiction reader. If any of you like bios, here's some really good ones:

-Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland

i had to read that for school....it was an um...amusing book!

I've been reading a series for awhile now. It is now up to it's 16th book. It is a series by Sue Grafton. They are mystery books that follow the cases of a female private eye named Kinsey Millhone. The 16th book was just realeased on hardback called "P" is for Peril.

The series follows the alphabet. Here are the books:

"A" is for Alibi
"B" is for Burglar
"C" is for Corpse
"D" is for Deadbeat
"E" is for Evidence
"F" is for Fugitive
"G" is for Gumshoe
"H" is for Homicide
"I" is for Innocent
"J" is for Judgment
"K" is for Killer
"L" is for Lawless
"M" is for Malice
"N" Is for Noose
"O" Is for Outlaw
"P" is for Peril

"G" is for Grafton is also a new book that is out. It is kinda like a biography of Kinsey Millhone.

Someone once talked about this book series back a lil while ago. (It may have been you...I don't remember)

I'd really like to read those. But I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Also, like ks asked, could you tell me a lil bout those books you were talkin' bout Karli? It would be really helpful. :)

I also read mainly mysteries by Mary Higgins Clark. Right now I'm reading a book by her. It has a little bit of a different turn than the rest of her books that I have read. BTW, its called "He Sees You When You Are Sleeping". It's really good so far.

It probably was :D

When I first started reading them, I found them at Wal-Mart. Now I usually buy them on the web or go to Barnes & Nobles whenever I go into town.

My english teacher talked about those books by Sue Grafton... my sister is reading them too.
