What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

^yeah, when I first read that it was for school and we did analyze stuff, but maybe not as much as you are; I was only in 8th grade after all...

When I read it years later, it was nice to just enjoy the book and not have to write about it. (But I'd rather have my own copy to read as opposed to the teacher read it to you and you take notes....grrrr)

I'm reading books about how to find a guy and get married. :-

More accurately, how to keep thoughts totally pure during the years of singleness, and how to make the most of those years. A topic that really interests me, I'll probably finally get the picture on what it looks like around the time my life changes in some way. But that's life. *sigh* The books are by Leslie Ludy, and are amazing. I haven't read any of her husband's(Eric Leslie), but if they're as good as hers I know a dozen books half of America should probably read..

Sounds awesome. \:D/
I'm reading Vespers Rising, a book which I own, and have already read, and enjoyed.

Well there is definitely that stereotype. :P

I'm finally "in" to To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm on chapter 11, and looking forward to finishing it! (as opposed to making myself read a chapter)

I'd loan you my copy of Operation: Stormbreaker, except, well, you know.

Hehe. Well, you don't need to. It's at the library. And it's not like Point Blank gives away a huge amount of information about the first book.
