Hmm, we only recently finished reading Fahrenheit 451 (in English II), and we read Huck Finn in English I. Right now I'm reading The Sandman. I'm up to Brief Lives (which I haven't gotten to read yet, because my library request won't be in for a while, and my dad hasn't gotten out his copy for me yet). I'm also reading a few different mangas (waiting for book 15 of Fruits Basket to come in, and I recently started reading GTO and Initial D), am waiting for the library to process Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness, and am waiting for April, so I can read the final Left Behind book.

Currently two things...

- The Sword of Shanarra by Terry Brooks
- the D. Grey Man manga series

Didn't the final Left Behind book come out a few years ago? Or are you talking about that prequel series? If so, I didn't know it was that far along. :o
(Left Behind is probably my favorite novel series; I really need to catch up on those books. >_<; )

The final LB book, Kingdom Come, releases on April 3. The first chapter is being released on the official website sometime in February. So I'll be further in the series than my mother >:D

I just read Gun, with occasional music by Jonathan Lethem. It is noir in a really cool dystopian future. Great hardboiled dialogue and mystery.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Last book I read was Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Picked it up from the library last summer, and enjoyed it even more than the original short story.

Yeah, the book was a lot better. Currently in school I'm reading The Turn of the Screw. It's okay I guess. The English is tough to understand, but the story is entertaining when you can understand it

I'm reading A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. It's magnificent.

I've actually been reading this short story I've been writing, called Out of the Blue. It's so cool that it's given me writer's block because I keep re-reading it.

I've been reading the original versions of the Left Behind series. I'm going to start Book 2 soon!

What's it about?

It's about a giant monster that attacks New York. I know, not too original, but it's got this feel that's a sort of combination of a disaster movie and an H.P. Lovecraft book. Also, roughly half the story takes place inside a tanker ship lying in the middle of Times Square.
