Guest starstung Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Bliss by Lauren Myracle Chibi Vampire (Vol. 7) by Yuna Kagesaki I'm reading Romeo and Juliet for school and I love it. I've read books inspired by Shakespeare and his works but never a book by Shakespeare himself. So glad it's part of the curriculum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HiddenTruth Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ahh! You're in for a treat! And perhaps a late night~ its soo good and I couldn't put it down! IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOOD. I couldn't put it down either. BUT .. the ending. T___T I know that technically it isn't an ending since it's only book one but still. The ending made me so angry. (but only because I'm a sucker for romance ._.) While I wait for 'Catching Fire' to show up in my mailbox, I'll be reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. It'll be slow reading since it's exam week. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lilangelgrl168 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 ^ I liked Looking for Alaska! John Green's other book, Paper Towns, I believe it's called? That one was good too. ^^ I'm currently reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman. pretty good, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest innocia Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've just received my copy of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. I'm looking forward to reading it since it was recommended by my friend and she mentioned that the writing style's really witty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, still trying to finish Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman, and The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. It's a very diverse mix. lol.

DAJUNG. Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Re-reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Gaah, never get sick of it. Hoping to FINALLY break in my new copy of Love in the Time of Cholera when I'm done (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tOasty Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Also reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad for English Lit. NOT getting it at all. It's such a hard, descriptive book. Seriously, Conrad's style of writing makes me cry. =( I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! Plus my teacher is having us read six pages at time during class, including stylistic interpretations and analysis, which makes it far more painful than it needs to be. I just finished Pride & Prejudice. Marvelous. I just watched the movie with Keira Knightley too (disappointing for some scenes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marasshi Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I just finished reading the entire Sookie Stackhouse series (so far, meaning up to 9) this week. I thought it was average (i.e. good, but no classic) and Charlaine Harris's descriptions sounded pretty typical of paperback romances. But I hardly expected much better from a character who claims to be "genre-educated". Most of the characters were well-written and well-developed, and I really appreciated that, especially compared to another, more popular vampire series that I will not mention here whose characters were just plain boring *andsparkledinthesunlight*. -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
