I'm just reading Of Mice and Men.

I started today, and I know I'll finish it today, too. It's only like 100 pages, but it's a good book. Suprisingly, I've never read it before.

Also, siunce this forum is sweet and all, you don't mind if I put my cut reviews, do you?

Robert is the leader of the school socialist society.

Me: So here's a joke: these three guys died and went to heaven and St. Peter said-

Robert: But God doesn't exist and "St." Peter is just a rotting skeleton of a fraud; why would you think he's waiting for you when you die? Man, you're an ignorant idiot. Talking to you is an insult to my intellect.

I on;y read when I can find a book good enough to keep my attention for a while, which isn't very often. Just read Power Rangers: Megazord to the Rescue and it was funny as.

That's the new fantasy series, right?


I'd rather read my own fantasy works, because it's your fantasy, right? That's just how I see it.

Today I've been reading the original version of Peter Pan. You can read the book online here: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext91/peter16.txt but I've also generated a .lit ebook version because the Microsoft Reader is easier on the eyes. Anyone want it?

The original is the best, I tell you. Disney from the 50s is better than it is now.

I've heard of Siddhartha, but I've never read it.

I recently finished The Sunflower. Good book, although 2/3 of it is commentary on the 98 page story. The story is good, though. Very emotional.

I'm currently reading a lot of computer manuals and photography books, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (<---the WORST BOOK EVER TO BE WRITTEN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), The Complete Sherlocke Holmes by Sir Author Conan Doyle, Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard, The Lost World by Michael Crichton, Chronicles of Narnia the lion, witch, and warddrobe by C.S. Lewis.

That may seem a lot but it's actually better...if you get bored of one of the books you can put it down and resume a few weeks later after reading sections of other books.
