    I wish I could say the same. D:
    I really did try to enjoy that book, but it wasn't fluid enough for me. After a while I just put it down. Sooner or later, I figure I'll pick it up again and finish it, but, for now, it's just collecting dust. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. :)

    Anyway, I just finished reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. I thought it was really fantastic. The story and writing is just beautiful.

    Lion Boy The truth

    The Lion Boy trilogy sucks. The first two books are good but the third one is just an eighteen chapter filler. The "good" chapters could have been added in the second book. When i was done with i was jaw dropped at how bad the book and especially the ending was.

    Ok, it's kids/teenage fantasy book, but so is Harry Potter.

    "Born in the morning,
    Woe without warning;
    Afternoon child
    Woeful and wild;
    Born in the evening,
    Woe ends in grieving.
    Night baby borning
    Same as the morning.


    ......Woe is the natural end of life, yet we go on having babies.
    ...No...We don't go on having babies, that's quite apparent. We only have babies when we're young enough not to know how grim life turns out. Once we really get the full measure of it—we're slow learners, we women—we dry up in disgust and sensibly halt production.
    ...But men don't dry up...they can father to the death.
    ...Ah, we're slow learners...But they can't learn at all."

    Excerpts from WICKED by Gregory Maguire.
    Best. Book. Ever. :'DDDDD

    I'm reading Interview With a Vampire by Anne Rice after about two years' worth of begging from my friend XD It's pretty good- not really my cup of tea (I'm not much of a vampire girl), but I can see why it's so popular

    I just started reading "The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan today ^^.. (It's apart of the Wheel of Time series).. Anyways, from what I read so far it seems to be a very well written book, and uses a lot of imagery :3.. I love all of the vivid descriptions about the events that are happening and how you can just imagine the scenes in your mind... I decided to begin reading this novel because it's of the fantasy genre which is my favourite and I heard from my English teacher that the whole series was a good read :].. And from what I read, I believe it shall be!

    Currently reading 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. It's all right so far. There are a ton of characters to keep track of, though.
