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")

For school, I'm reading a book called The Cat of Bubastes by G. A. Henty. It's... interesting, I guess.

So, I've decided that I'm going to start reading The Hunger Games after I finish The Fellowship of the Ring (I've been reading that one since before I joined the ToO :P ) and Anne of Avonlea. I'm excited! :D

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

I've read that book :yes: It was a long time ago, but I remember it being pretty good \:D/ I should read it again sometime.

I'm currently reading a couple books for school...which I'm too lazy to name at the moment. But I'm trying to get through Desiring God (I haven't picked it up in a week :anxious: and I want to read it, I just don' t make time to)

I just finished reading Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. It was a terrible novel and nobody should ever read it. Worst book I've read this year.

I finished Promise Me This, it was excellent. I absolutely loved it!! Next up for me is a contemporary: Recipes & Wooden Spoons by Judy Baer, it is the third book in the Grace Chapel Inn series. I have to read a contemporary or two since I've read a couple of historical novels. Otherwise I start to feel like I'm in a time warp.
