Not at this minute obviously.

And not a book for school or a book on household remedies or the TV Guide.
;)

I am in the middle of reading Fast Times At Ridgemont High by Cameron Crowe which has been out of print forever.

It is similar to the movie but with a lot of subtle differences, more characters and more insight.

Pretty cool so far.

I'm reading college textbooks. They're the only things I've been able to read lately.

I did read The Lovely Bones during winter break, and I thought it was a good book.

Cool, I put down for that book at the library. I hope they can get it for me through another library.

Um, I'm reading Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

I'm thinking of re-reading The Virgin Suicides again. I like to re-read books. It re-opens the doors to the imagination again. Plus, I've been thinking about lines from that book for days so why not?

The Complete Shooting Script for the movie A Beautiful Mind and another script for a movie I forget the name to (I can tell you the plot, and the characters, but not the title). They are in book form, but they are scripts. I'm not sure if they count, though.

I love The Great Gatsby! Try to view the film as well, it's really great. It was filmed, in part, in Newport, RI at one of the famous mansions there (one of my favorite places to go).

I'm mainly reading textbooks now, but I am also reading Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible."

Oh my god, I love Jane Austen! I can't believe you're reading Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, I read those, they're soooo good. Not as good as Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility, but they're good!

That is an awesome book, you find out a bunch of stuff about the show, the actors/actresses, and the characters.
