I just finished reading that... very good up until the end... sorry if this ruins it for you, but you may like it. I didn't.

Still working on THHG... Never did pick up Answers, but I'm reading Flowers for Algernon at the moment.

Flowers for Algernon is quite a sad little story. We read it a-way back in 8th grade. It's a pretty good story though. This is the one where they perform the experiment to make the stupid guy smart, right?

I read it in 8th grade as well...it is a very sad book, but a good one. That's the one, meatfinger. Again, it was sad, but I enjoyed it very much.

I'm in the latter third of the silmarillion, with MUCH better comprehension this time than the last. It's an awesome book. And then, for my own intellectual gain, I'm attempting to read Schindler's List en francais (La liste de Schindler). It'll be interesting to see how much I can follow, since I've never tried to read a french book before.

This is all legit and legal. PM me for more questions. If you sign up through my link and complete an offer, I will give you $10 after I'm given credit for your completion. The blockbuster deal is $10 and you get movies for a month and 4 in-store coupons for movies. So if you cancel before you're billed for the second month you basically are getting free movies sent to you and 4 coupons for free.

I get paid everytime you click this.

Fellowship of the Ring
Todd and Christy: the College Years (I'm re-reading all of the Christy Miller series)
I think that's it...lol, that looks like such a small list! I guess I could add The Scarlet Thread, seeing as I just read it the other day.

I'm reading The Writing Life by Annie Dillard (great author). If there's any writers in the house, then go read this one.

You know, I'm getting really tempted to sticky this one...
