Hi.
I am 14 and busy in writing my first novel, "The Haunted town".
But, I do get little time to read some horror stories and Coraline by Neil Gaiman.

I just finished Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It. Was. Awesome. So beautifully written... Joyce is a genius.

And I'm still struggling through Crime and Punishment. I love it, but it's tough. Then again, it makes reading it so much better.

Oh and for school we were reading The Crucible (Arthur Miller). It's gooood. And I don't usually read plays. I've been missing out.

Love. I'm so glad you turned me onto classics so I could throw hearts and gushy stuff at you.

I'm currently reading Typee by Herman Melville and a whole lot of essays and stuff from various books.

And then I'm re-reading Ragamuffin by Tobias S. Buckell and Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson.

The Hobbit, because it's for my tolkien class. Also Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, for my literature class. Not much time for other books at the moment....

Taking two classes with lots of reading was, in retrospect, not the best idea. :)

^A Tolkien class? Can I come?

I'm reading Moby Dick. I don't really need to say anything about it because it explains itself.

I'm also reading Poetry 180 and various other poetry books, and I start the Food of the Gods (by Wells) a while ago, so I could be said to be reading it, though I haven't touched it in a week.

Hmmm.. at the moment, I'm not reading anything. I started Sanderson's Warbreaker and before that Hobb's Liveship Traders trilogy, but then I forgot where I was and it was a pain to search back and blah blah and now the time for the exams came so if I'm reading any books, it's mostly the ones about math-like stuff. Hopefully I'll continue once the next semester starts.

Oh yay, finally another real book!
I'm reading Sophie's World. I got it as a (late) christmas present from my cousin.
It teaches me philosophy, which I don't mind since I didn't have it in high school :D

The main book that I'm reading is Ink Exchange, the second book to Wicked Lovely. Others that I'm reading are Maximum Ride (because a friend recommended it) Wicked: Spell and Curse, and Time of Witches.

Richard Sharpe. 9th or 10th book, I kinda lost count. I never liked war-story books, but Sharpe is just too cool.

I'm currently reading The Hazards of Sleeping Alone by Elise Juska. I'll be taking her two fiction writing workshops when I go to college this fall, so I thought I should read her book. :p
