I'm reading two books right now - The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, which is terrific, and I just started The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman (author's preferred edition) which is amazing. I love going into second-hand book stores and buying something I've never read, or fleshing out my Babylon 5 book collection. Good times.

Montogomery - Anne of Green Gables.
Pratchett - Interesting Times. I'm proud to say I've read them both today... Started AND finished.

Besides curiculum I've just started The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson; also halfway through Umberto Eco's The Mystic Flame of Queen Loana (or similar?) and still making progress on Jens Bjørneboe's A History of Bestiality-triology. Had to shelf Muramaki and Tolstoy for the time being...

I just finished "The Lord of the Flies", has anyone else read it? I thought it was pretty good, it little downright scary at times. What did you guys think of it?

Quite scary, but makes you think about group dynamics and the willingness of people to follow the leader, doesn't it? |

Forgot to mention, I am currently reading The End, the last in the Series of Unfortunate Events books. I'm going to be so mad if things aren't resolved for the poor orphans, but I probably shouldn't hope too much.

Recently: St. Augustine's Confessions, and St. Athanasius On the Incarnation. Both good, the former extremely so. Also, re-read Dorian Gray for a seminar.

I'm currently in the third book of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series. Mitch is basically a terrorist killer in these modern days. Pretty interesting plots. Political thriller.
Separation of Power is a bit slow moving at the moment, but I know it'll speed up soon.

Just finished the Vampire Lestat. I think I'm gonna lay off the Rice for a while, though the ending did leave me wanting to read more. I'm currently reading Richard Ellman's biography of Oscar Wilde.

so i'm currently reading two books (depending on which one fits in my bookbag at the time )
"The Druid's Sword" by Sara Douglass (the last in the Troy Game series) and "Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress" by Susie Gilma (i think she's a columnist for the NY Times... very funny!)
