    I'm currently reading Dostoyevsky's "Notes from Underground", and I have a whole stack of books waiting for when I finish.

    That's a great book! It's on my list of books to read.

    Right now I'm reading "Oblamov" by Ivan Goncharov. I started to read it a while ago....

    Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. Really enjoyed it, though a little depressing at the end.

    I just read A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare. I read it for school but i liked it. It was actually kind of funny although most people will disagree with me on that.

    The last book I read was "All The Days of My Life...So Far" by Allison Sweeney

    I enjoyed it but if your not a Days of our Lives fan it probably would not be for you

    The last book was called The Beat, a true crime book on the disappearence of Ross Warren in 1989 and the link to gay bashings in the Bondi area. An amazing book

    Now i'm reading A Game of Soldiers...what if the archduke ferdinand was not killed by serbian terrorists and the revolution in russia was fuelled by its oligarchs?? Very very interesting

    Right now, a children's book called "Tumble Turn" by Doug Macleod, because I have an essay due about it tomorrow morning for my children's literature class. It's one of the very few queer-themed books I've found for the 9-12 age group. (Trust me to pick the book where I could write about gender and sexuality issues instead of one of the many race- and class-related books we studied.)

    Right now I am reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. I would usually choose anything but a love story to read, but I found out they are making a movie based on the book (starring Eric Bana *amazing*) and the book was on my shelf, so I picked it up, started reading, and was hooked.

    I just read the first of Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness quartet, A Great and Terrible Beauty, Catcher in the Rye (*gags*), Never Cry Wolf, Heavy Metal and You...and a lot more. I've been really bored lately.


    You better not be dissing The Crucible, First Man.


    O, they are sillyyy. Midsummer is amazing.


    The Irish totally did.

    No I'm not at all. I reckon it was really interesting, but I just didn't like having to read the entire thing in the space of a few hours.
