    Worst. Book. Ever. I had to read that back in seventh grade and nobody like it.

    But back on topic, I've started reading Desperation by Stephen King. It was recommended to me by a friend and I've always like his work so I'm excited to start on it.

    I'm reading shiver by Maggie Streifvater. It has a good idea about werewolves in it and a good storyline but I find it hard to get into.

    I have just finished reading Hush, Hush which is an amazing book about fallen angels and I would recommend it.

    Devil May Care.

    Absolute trash for a novel but it's James Bond, so I gotta give it 'some' credit.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; I'd like to see where the book is going before part 1 of the movie comes out in Nov; I think. Wayy longer than the other 6 past books; but this is going to be my second time reading since a long while ago so I'll eventually finish it, but all in all it's a pretty good read :]

    I am reading Naruto, Bleach, Kekkaishi, Onepiece, Shaman King, ect. Alot of Manga!!! I also read Frankenstein for school. I thought it would have been the stereotype of green monster with evil scientist, and Igor. But thats the old movie. If you love British Lit., i suggest reading it.

    Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero. An interesting read if you like FFXIII. It tells of the events prior to the 'Purge' and gives you a bit more insight into the characters.

    I'm currently on Uncle Tom's Cabin and it's a decent novel. However, Stowe is a little too preachy throughout the book. I understand that she was making a point, but still. The melodramatic tone is a bit much.

    I'm also in the middle of The Kite Runner which is a much better story than I ever expected it to be. The main character irritates me, but I think that just helps with the story.

    And the other book that I've started is The Poisonwood Bible. I'm honestly not very far in it so I don't have much of an opinion on it, but it's alright so far. I keep picking it up to continue reading, so it isn't too bad.

    The Year I Turned Sixteen which is pretty good and a lightherarted novel; I'll be reading Stephen King's Under The Dome afterwards, and in terms of manga I'm skimming through Kingdom Hearts since I want to write a lengthy story and this is interesting enough. =]

    Hero-Type by Barry Lyga. I haven't finished yet, but it seems pretty interesting so far. The summary makes you think the guy killed someone before becoming the hero.

    The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, it's the sequel to Angel and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. I'm only part way through but I'm already enthralled, I love all the hidden things and mysteries. I'm already trying to spot where it's going to goand the twists but if it's anything like the first two, I still won't guess it.

    I'm currently reading The Spellman Files. It's really interesting since it's about a family of private investigators, and the narrator is really funny, but so far it feels like something happened to the youngest sister.

    Yotsuba&. It's by the same creator that made Azumanga Daioh, so it's the same style of humor.

    It's quite alright, I guess.
