The Shining- Stephen King.

Good so far.

I was reading A Clockwork Orange....but I brought it back to the library. I have to recheck it out so i can finish it.

Right now, nothing. But I'm going to read Vicki Lawrence's autobiography for like the 5th time..."VICKI!: The True-Life Adventures of Miss Fireball". :mrt:

Oooo...I had to read that for 11th grade English...How are you liking it so far? I really liked it - they made a great movie out of it, which I also liked. :)

I started 'Stupid White Men' by Michael Moore. Some of it is very very interesting, but there's parts where it drags out and is a bit overbearing.

I've got a copy of 'Rosemary's Baby' for Christmas and I'm still waiting for my copy of 'The Hours'. I also wanna read Catcher in the Rye sometime, and am desperate to read 'Out on a leash' by Shirley MacLaine.

Yeah, me too... I already read it, but I need to refresh my memory on it for English.

I'm also in the middle of reading "Eleventh Hour" by Catherine Coulter, and "A Stranger is Watching" by Mary Higgins Clark.

Yeah I'm reading for lit class...I'm in 9th grade though. I guess its okay so far, then again I'm not very far into it yet. I'm only on Chapter 3 lol.

Right now I'm almost done with "Different Seasons." I'm on the 4th story, "The Breathing Method."

In ethics we're reading The Angelina Jolie journals..In english we just finished The Catcher In The Rye.

i hate reading books, its boring as hell. ihave a book about ESP though and i read that sometimes because i have ESP.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Just finished Grapes of Wrath for english...so I dont know what we are goin read next, it was pretty good, I am a fine of Steinbeck, but its annoying how most of the books we read this year have the same plot because we were doing the theme of American Dreams, so like Death of a Salesman (blah) and Fences (ekk) where very similar in plot aspects and themes, the only book ive loved this year has been Ordinary People

and for outside reading in english I am going to read The Secret Life of Bees and Fear Itself

That's a wonderful book..

I'm debating whether or not to read "Man of La Mancha"...

I'm reading The Tattooed Girl by Joyce Carol Oates.

I was reading Origins and an Einstein book, but I had to take them back to the library today. :(

Right now: Rainbow Six By Tom Clancy.

Very good, but not a book for those who don't like violence. It also deals with some tough subjects, so it's definately not for everyone.

right now im reading groucho a bio about groucho marx its very interesting

I'm between books for school. We just finished reading "Hatchet" for reading class and it was so boring. "My name is Brian Robeson. I am 13 years old. I am in the woods. The Secret." I was like "SUCK IT UP! YOU'RE MOTHER IS A SLUT!" But anyways...

I'm looking for "Peyton Place" by Grace Metalious and "Flamingo Road" by Robert Wilder.

"Return of the King" for a class :thumbsdow

Right now it's The Secret Life of Bees.

A Bend in the Road - Nicholas Sparks

OMG...I had to read "Hatchet" in 7th grade...Then my 8th grade English class watched the movie version that year...Honestly, I thought it was boring as well. :p

I had to read Hatchet in 5th grade. I hated it.

I'm reading Call Me Lumpy, by Frank Bank, his autobiography. Frank Bank played Lumpy Rutherford on Leave it to Beaver. His book is really good.

I just started reading Cancer Schamcer by Fran Drescher. Its really good and has alot of wit to it; and I`m only on page 20 something!

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton for English.
The Odyssey by Homer for History.

For fun, I'm re-reading On The Street Where You Live by Mary Higgins Clark, and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Through the Bible, starting with Genesis and going all the way through Revelations.

I had to read that in 5th grade! Oh my gosh how I hated that book.

Right now I'm reading "Locked in Time" by Lois Duncan. So far it is a great book!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

- I am also working on reading the most treasured book in my house: the Bible.
Right now I'm only in Genesis.

I didn't like that book. They built so much up for practically nothing to happen. I also had to read the Scarlett Letter for English this year, I loved it. I just finished Julius Caesar for my honor's english class, and I really liked it too. Ten times better than Romeo and Juliet that I had to read last year.

I am almost finished with the book of Acts, myself. Very interesting and amazing.

Right now I am reading Debbie Reynold's autobiography....

I just remembered...My teacher even made my class write to the author...What was his name? Gary Paulsen? I don't even remember anymore if we heard back from him or not. :lol:

Right now I'm reading the new Sandra Cisneros book "Caramelo", I do not recommend it

I recently started 1984 by George Orwell. I haven't gotten too far yet, because I never have time to read, but what I've read is really good. :D

I just got a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble, so I wanna get Animal Farm, too.

I had to read Animal Farm for a class this year. I liked it A LOT more than the Lord of the Rings books.

I'm just curious, are you enjoying Ethan Frome? I had to read that in the 10th grade, and I found it really depressing.

Animal Farm is a GREAT book! Is 1984 good? I bought it at my local bookstore because my dad said I should read it & I liked Animal Farm.

God Bless! :)

Hey! :wave:

Well, I'm not too far into 1984 yet, but it's really good so far. A couple kids in my class read it, and they absolutely LOVED it! :biglove: They said there's a big chunk in the middle that's extremely boring, but I heard the rest rocked. :rock:

I would go for it! You'll never know until you try, right? :D

started Beyond Borders last night. Good. I like anything with Angelina Jolie.

I had to read that last year in english, personally I thought it was really bad of a book, there was very little point to it, I mean understood the themes and motifs of it but I dont know just did not like it and found it to be very boring

I love this book, ive read it a few times (one of the times for english) but I love the whole plot, the character development of Holden, the themes, everything, this is one of my favorite books, and also the way Salinger writes it makes it even more realistic, awesome book

also I am currently reading, "Fear Itself"

I just bought a Tom Clancy novel today called 'Op-Center: Line of Control."

Sweet Caroline by Christopher Andersen about Caroline Kennedy

I'm reading 'Rosemary's Baby'- Ira Levin's a great writer, I'm only on chapter four but the way he writes is intriguing. After reading this I'll read 'Son of Rosemary' sometime. But I also have 'Mrs Dalloway' to read. I ordered 'The Hours' a month ago and it still hasn't even been shipped! I'm also reading a book about italian horror director Mario Bava. I've started reading lots- I've got all I want to read figured out- enough to last me a while. I also wanna read 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves'- number 1 in the UK, and I still can't seem to find a copy of 'Out on a leash' by Shirley MacLaine!

Lizzie McGuire "Just Like Lizzie" can any1 say snore?

I'm reading "The Pleasure of My Company" by Steve Martin. It's really good. I'm about halfway through it. Steve Martin is a very gifted writer.

Donna Summer's Autobiography; which is pretty good...so far...:)

I'm reading "Misery" by Stephen King. I'm almost halfway done with it and I really like what I see. It's a powerful novel, I'll tell you that.

"Lullaby" by Chuck Palahniuk. Woo. Great book.

One of my favorite SK books. It's really great.

chicken soup for the teenage soul letters.

I finished 'Rosemary's Baby' and I was shocked while reading the story. I've seen the bad reviews the sequel has got- but I just have to read 'Son of Rosemary'- I've ordered a copy of it. I just finished it yesterday- definitely the best book I've read all year. I'd been meaning to read it before, Ira Levin's a brilliant author. I haven't seen the movie though- have any of you seen it?

Has anyone here read 'The Valley of the Dolls'? I saw the Bette Midler film 'Isn't She Great'- which is to do with Jacqueline Susanne, and I've read reviews of the book and want to see what all the fuss is about. 'Valley of the Dolls' and 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls' is being released in a DVD boxset January 5th in the UK- but I'll probably read the book first.

Stupid White Men- Michael Moore.

I'm supposed to be reading Time's Arrow by Martin Amis for AP English
but I'm really reading Real Magnolias by Becky Freeman

The Great Husband Hunt by Laurie Graham. It is hilarious! I love it.

Have you guys ever read "The Eyes of the Dragon" by SK? I had to read that for 11th grade English and I LOVED it. (And I'm not normally a SK fan!)
