I just finished reading Eragon, Part 1 of "The Inheritance" two months ago. I really enjoyed and love the book. I can't wait for the other two parts to come out. Good job Christopher Paolini!!!!
I just borrowed a couple of books from my friend today, like The Davinci Code, Gnomes, Fairies, and Elves: The Little Folk, and The Catcher and the Rye. So I am reading Catcher in the Rye now, just started it today. Pretty good so far! And I also borrowed a book from the Vampire Chronicles
Hmm.. I read The DaVinci Code awhile ago.. it's one of my mom's favorite books. I'm not usually into the mystery/suspense novels, but I thought it was really good-- I read it in a day! I read The Catcher in the Rye last year for my English class.. I thought it was interesting, even funny, but rather depressing. And I've heard a bit about Anne Rice, too.. I've been thinking about reading one of her books.. let me know how you like it!

OK, I don't know how soon I'll be reading it. I am really excited about The DaVinci Code, too. It must be good if you read it in a day. The Catcher in the Rye is really good, I am reading it in like every spare moment I have, and so I'm almost done. It's cool that you got to read it in your English class. A lot of people in my class got to read it, but even though it was my first choice, I got stuck with Brave New World. Anyways, everyone told me how good it was, so I decided to read it. I'm reading a lot of the books that different groups in my class had to read.
And Eragon... I read that too. I like Niirewen can't say I found it especially amazing. It was nice to read, and I will definitely read Christopher's next books.
'Why I Am Not a Christian', by that upstanding chap Bertrand Russell. Any Russell fans here? Also about to start on a collection of Michel Foucault's works, that promises to be fun fun.
I'm in the middle of reading The Silmarillion, and I really like it so far...it's good that i'm learing more about the history of Middle-Earth and not just about the Third Age.
Just read some ancient Greek tragedies (Sophocles, Euripides and the like) as well as 'Lord of The Flies'. Will either read Micheal J Fox's 'Lucky Man' or 'Middlemarch' next.
Other books I have recently read, 'The Magic Mountain; Buddenbrooks' Thomas Mann, 'The Satanic Verses' Salman Rushdie, 'The Picture of Dorian Grey', Oscar Wilde
You lucky thing! Been trying to get my hands on Decmaeron for ages, but it is too hard to get in the shops, and too expensive, and I cannot find it in the local library.

Well, I found it in a second-hand store. There're many here and it is really very very easy to find. And if not new not so expensive. But...it's in Bulgarian.

Yes, but school... However, although they were compulsory, I really enjoyed them. Looking forward to Bel Ami...heh...the school program changes...My parents and grandparents used to study sicialist literature and Decameron was even a forbidden book....now...well....
I haven't had any time for reading outside of my classes, so I'm limited to The Destruction of the European Jews by Raul Hilberg, Night by Elie Weisel, 'Araby' by James Joyce, 'Rocking Horse Winner' by DH Lawrence, and chapters 1-2 of Genesis (out of the Oxford Study Bible with the Apocrypha). Not to mention Excursions in Modern Mathematics andSociety in Focus: an Introduction to Sociology.
Nothing heavy (so to speak). I'm actually reading the whole Hitchhiker's series by Douglas Adams. All in one very big book. It's a little tough to drag to work every day, but it's suprisingly light for a book its size.
Hmm...could you tell me something more about this one? Sounds interesting... I have recently thought of starting a book on the history of Science or Mathematics in particular...something like that.
As for now...They shoot horses, don't they, Horace Mccoy.
