The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien for English.

...This Topic. lolz

Really this baseball trivia book. Can't exactly remember the name.

I just moved and none of my books are with me, so I had to borrow Mystic River. I'm only a few pages in, and it seems interesting enough. Didn't see the movie, so I have no idea what happens.

I have gone a bit fluffy this week. Regency romances and Dick Francis. Stuff I can read in the bath and not worry about dropping.

Been reading World War Z on and off.

The New York Bartender's Guide. I'd like to bartend at a hotel or airport when I'm old enough to earn some extra cash, getting a head start now.

Company by Max Barry. Anyone who likes Douglas Adams should definitely check out Barry.

I just finished Eragon, so I'm waiting for my dad's g/f's friend to get done with Eldest... I'm not in a huge rush though because the third book isn't out yet, and I'm gonna get left hanging. Absolutely loved the book, though. T'was good.

I finished Mystic River yesterday. It was good...made me curious about the movie.

Now I have nothing to read, really. I have a book full of fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers, so I've been thumbing through that.

I need to get to the library soon. Going to look for The Lovely Bones, as I heard that's a good book.

It is a brilliant book. I highly recommend.

Starship Troopers. One of my favorite Sci-Fi books.

The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis

Hunger by Knut Hamsun

The World is Flat

Culture in an Age of Money:The Legacy of the 1980s in America. Editor: Nicolaus Mills

ASP.NET 2.0 for Dummies and Professional ADO.NET 2 Programming With SQL Server 2005, Oracle, & MySQL.

I live such an exciting life.

I'm already taking a break from TBK (I'm about 100 pages deep into the beast) to read Freakonomics because I saw it at the library. I've only read the prologue and it's already made me go, "Hm, that makes sense!" and I've even laughed.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, again.

Lust by some gay brit.

Ken Kesey is a god. Man, I wish I had some free leisure time to set aside for reading, I'd so go back an read that book again.

"I was too young to be a beatnik, and too old to be a hippie."

^^^ Never mind what I said up there. I can't find my copy anymore.

Systemantics by John Gall (again...)

Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates

Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I'm about to start Mitch Albom's new book, For One More Day.

Hahah, I asked to borrow the book Eldest (sequel to Eragon >_>) from my dad's girlfriend, but the person she lent it to still had it for a while, so she got me it for christmas... haven't started it yet, but I will soon.

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Bought The Rum Diary yesterday and finished it this afternoon.

Watchmen by Alan Moore (yeah it's a comic what?)

World War Z


....I'm kind of disappointed.

A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Yes, it is a children's book, but a long one with chapters.

Yes, it is just like the movie.

This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff

Senior English is such a drag.

you shut up shawn that's one of my favorite books ever

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert M. Pirsig.

Da Vinci Code and American Psycho

I actually read some books this week that weren't just Dick Francis or the nearest ancient paperback handy while I tried to settle down so I could sleep.

Chocolat by Joanne Harris and next up is The Time Travellers Wife.

The time Traveler's Wife is AMAZING. Tell me if you like it or not.



I am reading Lamb byt Christopher Moore. Bought it at Border's tonight. Good book so far. Really funny.

Loving it so far. Might make a topic when I am done so we can blether about it!

I made one a while ago, but then I closed it (back when Nate got mad at me for talking about how often we have sex) because I was gonna quit the internets, lol. That sure didn't last.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk

Jim Butcher - Dead Beat (a novel of the Dresden Files)

I finished the last one, a 380 page paperback, in less than 24 hours. I just cannot put these books down. Dead Beat is the seventh in the series. Harry Dresden is a wizard, and a private investigator. He's also a fantastic smartass.

State of Denial Bush at war part III by Bob Woodward

Here's a great 3 line haiku from the book. This is by Col Steve Rotkoff wrote about Rumsfeld before the war:

Rumsfeld is a dick
Wont' flow the forces we need
We will be to light.

I Am Not Myself These Days, by Josh Kilmer-Purcell.
