Im currently working on...
The magic of recluce series(just finished book 2 :| )

Red moar The Lord of the Rings.
I love sci-fi, but I rarely have time to actually read them.
Books? Eh, not much. I'm particularly picky about storyline and writing style of books I read. If I find a book that has a storyline that I like, I usually finish it that same day :-\

My mom says I read TOO fast. So basicly if I dont take my time with a book I will have to wait awhile before my mom buys me the next one. No I dont like the library I dont like the feeling of being timed to read something. It turns me off :|
Yeah, usually around three books a week. The lastest book I read was Harold Bloom's How To Read And Why. A bit of a coincidence. :P
I read posts on the Internet.
...That's about it nowadays.

hmm...well...read "The Areas of My Expertise" anyway. It's freaking awesome. It's not really much of a novel, per se, as much as it is a collection of random articles and charts of fake trivia. Especially notable are his history of hoboes, his tale of the true lobster, and his section about the 51 states.
Wha? what kind of book is that :-\

it's the kind of book that you just pick up, read something in, and laugh your head off.
interesting... :-\ Ill consider it.
I DO!! YES YES!
I love redwall obviously.
And I'm into the Hardy Boys series. :)
I read books when I find something I like or someone suggests I read something. My friend gave me the book Dream Boy to start reading today. It's short but she says it's great.
Also a fan of the Twilight series.
I hate reading.

I laughed during the entire movie version of that.
I like really creative books. :) Like the ones from Lewis Carroll.
I HATE war stories though. And anything else that's boring.
