Now, back on topic... I recently finished Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. It's an okay book, but it just didn't have the same feeling as the four prequels. I've been reading the Artemis Fowl series for a few years now, and it's quite interesting throughout most of the books.

Finished The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. It had the most interesting ending.

Now reading 4:50 from Paddington.

I've been reading
Various poems by Catullus
Music and Imagination by Aaron Copland
An Introduction to Language by Victoria Fromkin, Robert Rodman, and Nina Hyams
Musical Composition by Reginald Smith Brindle
Tonal Harmony by Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne

As you might be able to tell, I haven't been reading much fiction recently.

Bump time :D
I'm in the middle of George Orwell's 1984. It's quite the hard to describe book, but it's really entertaining.

I've been reading a lot of Nancy Drew vintage books for the last month.

I also read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which was very hard to understand, and I didn't really like it that much. . . . It seems that the more a book is B&, the better it is.

Ironic statement, since Huck Finn has been banned frequently. I recently read that, and I didn't think it was that hard to understand. The only parts I found more difficult were when Jim was speaking.

Right now I'm reading Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, which gets kind of drab and confusing at times, considering it's philosophy of ethics. I need to read Editha by William Dean Howells by tomorrow, which I haven't started yet, but thankfully it's only a short story. XD

Quote from: Wikipedia, "List of banned books"

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (ironically, as the book is about book banning)

That's hilarious. XD I read that novel freshman year of high school. 'Twas interesting.
