As of now I'm reading the Two Towers and Lord of the Flies. Two excellent books in their own ways.

I've just finished reading "Running out of Time" by Margaret Haddix. It was awesome!

Okay, I'm bumping this topic. I hope no mods will be angry! I just read the book Angela's Ashes. It was an extrodinary book.

This year in school I read 3 totally excellent books. They were hatchet, The outsiders, and A wrinkle in time. All of them I wold suggest, even though they are fairly easy.

A Wrinkle In Time is awful. I am reading Bitter Grounds in anticipation of my upcoming mission trip to El Salvador.

I just finished the Da Vinci Code. Excellent read.

For schoo, I am reading Homecoming. I hate it... its plot is rather broken.

I agree, the DaVinci Code is an excellent read.

As of now, I'm reading Desperation by Stephen King. It's great!

From what I have heard, The DaVinci Code happens to be a boring murder mystery chase that is written in an awful style. If it didn't bring about controversy, most people said that it would not have made it. Therefore, I never read it, but I think I should try it on my own.

Ludwig · « **Reply #55 on:** June 09, 2006, 10:38:03 AM »

I didn't find it boring at all, but hey, everyone has their own opinion.

Also, yeah it is a murder mystery, and it does get into a bit of touchy spots with religion and stuff...but I thought it was a great book anyway.

I was reading the Xanth series by Piers Anthony...but I haven't found the time to continue reading. I got up I think the 9th book? Anyway there's like 25, but they're really fun. Everyone has their own magic talent and there's different adventures that people go on. I would suggest it. It does have some graphic content...like a lot...but other from that they're good.

Well, just recently I finished reading the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, and since I absolutely loved his style of writing, I am in the middle of reading David Copperfield as I type. It's a really good book, but I don't want to recommend it to anyone, because all of my friends apparently hate Charles Dickens, and I've only met one person who shares my same interest in him. :(
I don't recommend it because apparenly Dickens' writing style is an acquired taste, or something.

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #58 on:** June 09, 2006, 05:38:56 PM »

If you like Dicken's writing, I highly suggest Hard Times. It's a satire about education. It's a very fun read.

I'm reading the Scarlet Letter, and it is quite dull. Some parts are extremely aggravating to slug through, as the dialogue is written in an "Old English" style. But I must if I wish to complete my Summer Reading project. *groan*

On a side note, I have not read the Da Vinci Code, and do not plan to. I won't say why, because I don't want to start any fights. I also heard that the movie was quite bad, getting hit hard by critics. But I'm sure fans have taken notice.
