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

| 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)

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. |
