The Poisonwood Bible. An excellent book, so far.

That's required reading for a class I have to take my junior year...I'm looking forward to it.

Right now I'm in the middle of Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. Interesting book.

Now I'm reading The Screwtape Letters. It's very interesting.

Yay for Screwtape Letters. I gave that to my best friend for Christmas.
I'm reading:
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy (good!!)
Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish, Joseph Keenan (good)
Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck (this one's for school...blech)

So am I, though I'm in the middle of it for the third time and taking notes. I have an oral presentation due on it as soon as I get back to school. Not looking forward to it, since English is one of my worst classes this year, but we'll see.

I haven't been doing much reading lately, which is a problem, since I'm working on reading too many books... I'll be lucky to finish any of these in the next month.
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor
Man and his Symbols by Carl G. Jung
The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker
Les Deux Tours by J.R.R. Tolkien (French translation, obviously - I really need to improve my French, and reading helps)
I need to find more books that don't threaten to slaughter my brain, too.

Ahh The Idiot is an amazing book...how much further do you have to go before it's done?

I have 500 pages left, but I think I might set it aside until I have more time and start again from the beginning.

Still reading Inferno. Have added Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, as well as several original text Hardy Boys books.
