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")

I started reading that last summer, and got about halfway through (reading was sporadic at best when I started school) and thought it was boring and just didn't feel like reading it anymore. But maybe I'll pick it up sometime in the future :)

I'm about halfway through The Healer. I really like the O'Malley series. :D

Till the end of the line.

I finished The Amish Midwife, very good. I am starting The Dawn of a Dream by Ann Shorey. It is the third book in her At Home in Beldon Grove series. I absolutely loved the first two and I am very eager to start this one.

I think I've read that book or maybe it was teaching Chess with Bobby Fischer. I do know that I have seen the movie. It was awesome!

Aw, AE doesn't like Boxcar Children books?! ;) I read all the new ones, just because I can't stand not being caught up on the series...even though I am so far out of the age range. :P
At the moment I'm trying to get caught up on a backlog of newspapers, so books have taken a back seat for now.

I agree that they are very lame, my sister gets them from the libray and I sometimes take a look at them. The orginal 19 are way better and longer.

Oh I read those books last year. I liked them. They were very good books. I tried to get my friend to read them but she thought they sounded too depressing.

Yeah, they are depressing :( but that is why I like them :-

Actually I read them long time ago (like four years :anxious: ), but I only read to book 12, I didn't know there was a 13 :oops:
I just recently found out :x so I tried to read it but I forgot what happened in the 12 books before :roll: so now I'm just reviewing ;)

Brings back the old days :inlove:
