| **gasp** For Whom the Bells Toll is boring?!? I haven't read it yet, but nothing that I've read by Hemingway has been boring. |

| I just finished reading Animal Farm for English class.
Other than that I need to go to the library and find some books for enjoyable reading. |

| I'm reading two books that (I think it's only two). "Rising Sun" (Not as good as the rest of Michael Chrichton's book) and an Indiana Jones book. (Don't remember which one)

| I just finished The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan. It was ok for a fantasy book, not as good as Tolkien's work, but still good. |

I'm reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" for the first time in my life. I can't believe it's taken me this many years to get around to it.

Diddo that for "Old Man and the Sea"...
You're just now reading "To Kill a Mockingbird"?? It's a really awesome book! - one of the few they've made me read in school that I have actually enjoyed (and read all the way through)
Still reading "Screwtape Letters"...taking my pleasant time and letting it all sink in

| I don't know how to read one book at a time. I need to be reading at least 5.
Right now I'm reading 2 Max Lucado books, Jesus Freak's by DC Talk, Mere Christianity, A Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee, Letters to Michael from Mara and Some times it causes me to tremble by Charles Turner (this is the worst fiction book I've EVER read). Now this doesn't include the biographese or non christian books I'm reading...
Some of these I've been working on for over a year, others I just started within the past month or so...

| The Old Man and the Sea was not boring. I read it a couple of weeks ago, and it was most certainly not boring. Anyone who says that Hemingway is boring is an idiot. However, I will say that there are some authors who are more interesting than Hemingway. Take F. Scott Fitzgerald for example. I just finished Tender is the Night and it was interesting. Also I'm reading Descent Into Hell by Charles Williams. I really, really need to get a study guide or cliff notes on it. |
