Books you are currently reading
Whether you read it for fun or for school, what are you reading right now?
I am reading Hello Kitty must die which is the weirdest title I ever read. The story is about a 28 year old chinese woman who looks well educated and well-mannered on the outside and compares to Hello Kitty as sweet and innocent. On the inside, she has a mind like a serial killer. She has a friend that was a serial killer and adapt some of his behaviors. The book has dark humor and it was funny at the beginning but it gets boring in the middle and it starts to get repetitive. Rereading A Wrinkle in Time which I enjoy because this book makes you think. Is there's such thing as perfect society? What would it cost to run a perfect society? I remember reading it the first time in 5th grade and I like it though there are parts I didn't understand until I reread again. This book reminds me of The Giver which has the same concept of society being the same and people willing to never change. Last edited by Kirby-Chan; August 28, 2010 at 08:49:44 AM. |

I'm reading some crappy Historical fiction book called "Cold Sassy Tree" for summer reading.
It isn't interesting and the climax graph is completely out of whack. It's bad. Last edited by Idno58; August 27, 2010 at 07:11:39 AM. |

I'm reading The Andromeda Strain. It's pretty interesting with a lot of technical stuff.
Even though it's fiction, it's written asthough it were a historical account. |

I am currently reading Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. I read one of her other books (The Reformed Vampire Support Group, to be exact) and it was really good. I love evil genius even though there are some things that don't make much sense (like a school for evil people that's been around for 5 years that no one has seemed to notice).

Just finishing Silent Boy which is a simple story but it's enjoyable for me. I can related to the characters in the story and the boy reminds me of my sister. What's odd is this is the first book I read for fun since the school year starts. I guess I was too busy to read for fun and I lost interest. But I am slowly interested in books again for fun.

I can't even remember if I read these before or not. I'll have to start buying the books themseves instead of relying on my school library. I've read the 1st and 2nd series, I didn't read some in The Power of Three. Boxed set would be nice. Can't wait for The Fourth Apprentice! EDIT: Redwall is also awesome, enjoy Emeror Empoleon or whatever your name is. The storyline is confusing as zelda, though, and that's saying something.

I'm reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistriss by Robert Heinlein for my Political Science Fiction class, and I really like it so far. The narrator speaks with broken english, where he drops unnecessary words...such as pro-nouns or things like "it" or "is".
For example: Book by Robert Heinlein very good. I enjoy story. Anyway, it's really good so far. It's got an AI and colonies on the moon. |
