    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, J.K. Rowling. It's been a while, and I got the random urge to do another reread of the series.

    Just finished Fahrenheit 451 for school. Second time I've read it, made more sense this time. About to start Animal Farm

    Blade Heroes Have One or Two

    I'm starting to read Gulliver's Travels for school. I'm actually excited about reading it, but not annotating. Also psyched about the movie.

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, JK Rowling. My favorite in the series, at least until Half-Blood Prince came out. ^_^

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, JK Rowling. It's taking me much longer than usual to reread these books, I dunno why. Trying to make it through them all before the new movie comes out.

    I'm currently reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett as a novel for a class project. It revolves around the lives of three women in Mississippi during the time of racial segregation. So far I find it a very interesting read the only obstacle I had to overcome, however, was the spelling. You can definitely sense the Mississippi accent by reading the book, for example: instead of writing, "I was sitting at the table when the phone started ringing" it would be phrased more or less like, "I was setting at the table when the phone started a ringing." But after reading 60 some pages I got used to it and I find it has a very well written story. I'm excited to see how the ending goes :)

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, JK Rowling. Not one of my favorites of the series, but still better than loads of other stuff I've read.

    Mysteries and Secrets of the Templars by Lionel & Patricia Fanthorpe

    I find the Templars are absolutely amazing, however, this novel isn't exactly what I expected. The authors mainly speculate topics in regards to the Templars, but they leave you to question their information which makes it seem as if they're not even sure what they wrote about is true. I would have prefered if they had atleast given a few hard facts, but that's just my own personal opinion.

    Mind you, reading this makes me want to read the Da Vinci Code. Leonardo Da Vinci is one of my seven wonders of the world (;

    From Dead To Worse, Charlaine Harris. This is about where the series begins to jump the shark, but it's mostly a good read.

    Jude the Obscure, because my teacher said it's the saddest book ever written and actually made him cry, maybe I'm heartless because I haven't read anything that sad yet. I was reading Dorian Gray but I had to put it down, it was too boring. Now I'm feeling a bit horror so I've picked up, The Dead too.

    Currently reading Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan (RIP), the first book of The Wheel of Time series. I've a set of the first three books of the series. I've heard it's a good read, so I figured I'd give it a go.

    I've also been trying to motivate myself to finally finish His Dark Materials (trilogy), by Philip Pullman. I can get through The Golden Compass just fine, but once I get into The Subtle Knife, I start to get tired of it.

    Currently I am re-reading J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. I can't get enough of that book. I've been thinking about looking into The Portrait of Dorian Gray. In fact, I've meant to take a look at it but haven't had the chance.

    Are there people who actually don't know? >_<

    If you can make it through TSK, the third book gets better.

    I'm currently reading Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris. Much better than the ninth one. I think the series might be redeemed. Just need to keep the fairies out of it. <_<

    I just don't get that book. I agree with South Park's stance on it. It's just a book about a guy complaining about his life.

    I've tried reading it a few times. I just can't do it. I start falling asleep whenever I try.
