    I probably will, once I finish the 4 books I'm attempting to read at the same time right now. XD That's not even including Pride & Prejudice, which I pretty much gave up on 'cause it's just so boring. I'd rather watch the movie. :lolface:

    I've only read the first chapter (y'know, laziness ensues during summer) but I think it's going to be very emotional, connecting with family members from across oceans and stuff like that. Which is good for me in a book.

    I've just finished Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and I want to read the rest of that series. It had such a dissatisfying ending.

    It takes place in the future, telling the story of Tally Youngblood. Human cities have become very advanced; everything is created by computers, recycled when thrown away, and there's no impact on the enviornment. Once someone turns 16, the are turned from an 'ungly' to a 'pretty'. After the operation, the pretties live in an endless party, across the river from the uglies. When Tally's new friend Shay tells her she's running away from the city to a place called 'the Smoke', Tally wants nothing to do with it. The day of Tally's operation she is taken to Speical Circumstances. They question her about Shay. She is forced to go look for Shay and the Smoke, using the handwritten, coded instructions Shay left. After finding it, Tally begins to really like the Smoke. She's fallen in love with a boy born in the Smoke named David. She meets his parents, who used to be doctors, and learns the truth about the operation. when you're turned pretty, you get brain damaged, witch is wat makes the pretties so carefree. She destroys the tracker that Speical Circumstances gave her, without activating it. Special Cicumstances got thier location from the destroyed tracker. She and David were the only ones not captured. When they went to the city to save the 'smokies', the were too late to save Shay from being pretty, and David's father from being killed. They run away, taking Shay with them, and start working on the cure for the brain damage. Shay is not willing to be the test subject. Tally decideds to go back to the city to become pretty, so she can be the test subject when the kidnap her a few weeks later.

    I just started Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher. I'm 4 chapters in, and there's really no dull parts in the plot so far.

    Not long after Hannah Bakers suicide, Clay Jensen recives a package with 7 cassette tapes with thirteen stories told by Hannah. These are the 13 reasons reasons why she is dead. She says that is you recive the tapes, you're one of the reasons. So, Clay decideds to listen to all thirteen stories, waiting for his name to come up. After that, he has to send them to the next person on the list.

    I was finally able to get my hands on the fourth book of Warriors: Rising Storm. I actually bought it instead of going to the library, I was thinking of just buying the rest of the series and screw the library.

    I'm reading about 4 different things at the moment...

    1. Wheel of Time Series- By Robert Jordan: I'm on the eleventh book in the series(I just reread them over and over again)... R.I.P. He died while writing the final book... (honestly I'm not sure why I like this series... I guess because it seems very creative and the characters can be related to easily)

    2. Bleach Manga: Started out watching the anime... but I got bored with that when it got stuck on the bount cycle... which took forever!!! (I guess I like it because it pairs paranormal phenomeon with swordfighting and unique [basically] super powers)

    3. Naruto Manga: Again watched anime and got very tired of it right after the fight between Sasuke and Naruto... still checking out the manga though... luv the idea of sage mode! uh... Everyone loves ninjas don't they?

    4. David Eddings is the author... He wrote somewhere around 12 books covering 2 different adventures and (basically) two Bios about those adventures... (that I know of) I won't mention a name because I can't remember right now... And I like it because.... well there's a bit of everything... magic/sorcery, physical battles/sword fighting, witty/clever characters/comic relief, prophecy whether you want it or not, and sarcasm, lots and lots of sarcasm!!! oh boy!!!!

    I'm reading Beowulf. Big...gigantic...poem thing. Eh. It's something that's easy to summarize but the stuff behind it is harder to understand than the actual story.

    I'm currently reading To Terra volume 1. It's actually a pretty good manga. It's about a boy who lives in a world where perfection is a must, and how he breaks free from it all.
