    Arthur Miller's The Crucible.

    I surprisingly got into it.

    Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

    That last page really hit me. My hands were shaking and I dropped the book as soon as I finished it.

    I pity you, not because you just finished the second book, but because you havent finished the third, and don't yet know what your in for.

    never been more disappointed by the inconsistancy of a book in a series in my life. I hope mockingjay is the last time a author just makes huge leaps, and completely disconnects a concluding novel for all that came before it.

    The last book I finished was Watership down by Richard Adams which I enjoyed quite a lot. Currently reading Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman which is just insanely fun.

    A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham.

    He's a really good author, but his books are kind of depressing...

    Heartbreaking and totally amazing. Book of the year for me, I think.

    I didn't enjoy it so much as I was alarmed by it and hoped fervently that nothing in the book even comes close to being reality.

    I believe that Offred did escape with Nick's help, though I doubt she was free for long.

    Have you read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini? It's amazing too.

    I read one of the Lemony Snicket books, but am currently reading Looking For Alaska by John Green. He's such a wonderful writer.
