What books are you reading?
In the same vein as movie/music threads...

And it was a sad story

We watched the movie for my English class. (I guess my teacher thought it was too much work for us to read the book?)
Anyway, the movie was spoiled because someone from the ToO had mentioned that this person was her favorite character. Imagine my despair as I sat in my dark English class, and coming to the realization that this person was Pearl's father-three minutes into the movie. I was extremely disheartened.

It's been awhile, hasn't it?

I finished Kirk Cameron's autobiography, Still Growing. Funny, charming and engaging with a good Gospel presentation.

There's an R rated one made in 1995, but there was a mini series made in 1979, which is probably what Marv saw.Gaius wrote:Don't worry, it was spoiled in the book when he's all relieved when Hester won't say who the father isMonty wrote:We watched the movie for my English class.

You watched the movie?Isn't it like, R-rated? And I read about it. . .it's nothing like the book >_>
I remember reading the Scarlett Letter and liking it; we watched the movie too, but never finished it. I would've liked to have seen the rest though

Right now, I'm not reading anything recreational, unless the Christian online magazine Set-Apart Girl counts

I've not really been reading much lately because I've been too busy writing. Well, actually I've been reading a lot of fanfiction. And I'm still slowly trudging my way through both Anne of the Island and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Thanks to my Secret Santa for the set!

Let's see.... Mere Christianity, Screwtape Letters, Case for a Creator, America: The Last Best Hope, The Shadow and Night...and others. 
I'm not boasting, I'm just saying it's not a smart thing to read more than two books at a time.

We finished up The Republic for Law Academy! I've never been more excited for a test in my life. Now we're reading an abridged version of The Odyssey for English!

I finished As the Sparks Fly Upward yesterday, it was excellent. I am sorry to see that series (trilogy actually) end. Last night I started Back Home Again: It is the first book in the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn and so far (I'm not very far into it yet) it is very good. I have been wanting to read this series for some time and have finally started it.

I need to start reading a book of Shakespeare's plays for Scholar's Bowl, because my base knowledge from the Wednesday Wars probably just isn't enough. But I'm too lazy, unfortunately.

I'm starting a book called Banner in the Sky for school. I'm also doing my second read through of my states drivers manual. Boring, but important.

I'm reading To Make Men Free, it's a novel of the Battle of Antietam (according to the cover
) and another book On the Volcano. They both should be intresting.

I'm not sure what to read next; Foxe's Book of Myrters, a Passages book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad or maybe something else...

I finished Back Home Again. I have fallen in love with the Grace Chapel Inn series after only reading the first book!! Next is the second book: Going to the Chapel.

I just started a book called Peace Child for school, and I'm currently reading a book on the Americas before Columbus discovered it. It actually very interesting, not as boring as I thought! 


Hamlet...for AP English :/ I'm not a fan
