I have been struggling through:
Relentless(Dominion Trilogy #1) by Robin Parrish But have opted to begin to re-read the Christopher Paolini series in preparation for the new book release... I have downloaded: Eragorn Eldest Brisingr and am waiting patiently for Nov 8, 2011 to download his new book: Inheritance I love his style of writing and am so excited to have another book to look forward to! |

Oh, I should have posted this instead of my previous post:
I am an excellent student and never, ever neglect my academic reading in favor of my fun reading. So I am currently reading: The World's Religions by Huston Smith (for Philosophy of Religion) Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex (for Human Sexuality) I am definitely not way behind on either of these books. Really. I promise.

crap, I didn't notice that there is a more active thread about books (this one).
now I take back my comment about "what, has nobody read anything in over a year?" I just finished Last Night In Twisted River this morning. It's very John Irving, which means that I loved it. When I say "It's very John Irving" I don't mean that it has bears, wresting, running, New England, Canada, and transgressive women....although it does have all of those things. I'm talking about the voice. The thing that I love the most about his books is the way he starts his stories in the middle and jumps back and forth in time through the entire novel. Since I've started reading him I can't hardly make my way through a book that is mostly chronological. Currently I'm reading Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I'm only a chapter in so far, but I think I'll enjoy it. The author's voice reminds me of Gregory Maguire - although maybe it's really just the subject matter that's bringing me there. I can't wait to have a couple of days off so I can devour it. Next up is The Sisters Brothers. It's on my bedside table waiting for me right now. I know nothing at all about it other than that it was recommended by someone I think is super smart...and the cover art is freaking cool.
