"Sing You Home" by Jodi Picoult. Very good book. :)
I just finished Candide by Voltaire and skimmed/read Kafka's Metamorphosis which was kind of sad for the protagonist.
Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes
Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard. Excellent stuff.
I adore The Metamorphosis. I re-read it quite recently, and, being in a psychiatric hospital, found myself very, very much sympathising with Gregor! Look like a cockroach for long enough, be thought of as a cockroach for long enough, and you'll find yourself speaking, eating, acting as a cockroach. When you're gone, when you're finally gone, they'll remember the cockroach. Also: being a burden is fun!
A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin. Book three of ASoIAF.
I read and I write, so I'm really in the middle of two books:
Reading: The Caves of Steel - By Isaac Asimov (always loved his series of books.)
Writing: The Enemy Within (Book 2 of my Mixed-Enassi Books)
Dude, Where's My Country? by Michael Moore.
Shadows and Light by Anne Bishop
Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer. For book report.
Shadows and Light by Anne Bishop
A Dog of Flanders by Ouida.
Reading this for what must be the hundredth time. Easily my favorite book. :3
To Kill A Mockingbird - I read it in 7th grade, but reading it again and its so much better. I thought it was really boring back then :P
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, both for school. I'm hitting the bookstore tomorrow, hopefully I can get some of the stuff on my list :)
Update: I got Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser, which I've already read and liked. Shit's expensive, man.
