| 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.

| 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... |
