Well, I have 2 books that I really need to read so I can give 'em back to my aunt... they're both by Patricia Cornwell..."Isle of Dogs" and "Southern Cross".

ILuvJoandBlair · 06-20-2002, 11:46 PM

I have to read two books. I'm going to read: The Color of Water and Almost a Woman. I've read parts of A lesson before dying, and it's pretty good, but the beginning is kind of borning.

I've got tons of books that I need to read and finish reading. I also plan to write stories as well. During the summer, writing is sort of my hobby.

TibbyTibby2 · 06-21-2002, 08:26 AM

80sTrivia · 06-21-2002, 08:36 AM

I'm currently reading Jean M. Auel's Shelters of Stone, in her popular Earth Children series. Her books are so amazing and this one was worth the eleven year wait since the last volume was published! For a trashy beach read, I will be carrying along Lucky by Jackie Collins. And then of course there's In Excess, the ultimate trashy beach read!!!

Polniaczek033 · 06-21-2002, 10:52 AM

Anyway, I plan on finshing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and reading "The Summons" by John Grisham

LaverneShirley · 06-21-2002, 11:10 AM

I have to read four, but we don't get to pick which ones.

The Good Earth by Pearl Buck
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (I've been wanting to read this book for forever)
The Piano Lesson by August Wilson
An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde

summer sisters (i read it once before, by judy blume. it's long but i read it in two days...the length just flys by and it's a reeeaaallly good book)
