When was the last time you sat down and read a book?

Out of curiosity, which one?
The Fallen, by Thomas E. Sniegoski

Or

FALLEN, by Lauren Kate? (If it's this one, which it probably is, I agree with you there...I can't finish it either.)

How can can you read too much (is such a thing even possible)? What's wrong with your parents? Books are never a waste of time.

If you're unable to buy books then why not get books that are in the public domain? They're free (and legal) to download from certain sites, or read online if that's preferable. (If you need some sources you can send me a pm and I'll send you some links.) It's not the same as real books, but it's better than nothing.

Since you're reading for school, surely you must have some access to books through your school at least.

Yesterday I started reading a book--Once Upon A Curse. I don't really like it, but I have to read different books for school. In my English class, we're currently reading True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.

I've never really read a book that I enjoyed fully, but I found some interesting.

I'm a girl in Saudi Arabia. I can't just go outside alone here, much less that I've ever gone out alone.



Oh.... well... your profile says Canada. My idea was good, anyway. XD


Yeah, moved about a month ago. Thanks for the idea though XD

Lauren Kate. I was planning on reading her other books, but now none And I can't believe there's a sequel to it!

Well, they'd rather I read General Knowledge kind of books...

Yeah, I know all of the sites. I also have a lot downloaded, but I guess I just prefer having the paperbacks/hardcovers. Thanks though smile

Don't really have access to books through the school...it's online, so just the ones they're teaching are given to me.

On topic...also read Heartless by Sara Shepard (Pretty Little Liars)...don't know whether I like that series anymore :S Just waiting for the final book to come out this year...

I finished the first 4 books of the Dune series by Frank Herbert last week. I would continue but I can't find the fifth one and I don't want to read the final one out of order. T-T

A few minutes ago... I was in the middle of Doctors by Erich Segal when I decided to take a break. smile

I'm also reading He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. However, it's really very difficult to read that book all together for me so I read a few pages every day.

Can't blame your parents. Reading crap like that is a waste of time (though sometimes it's nice to waste time—sometimes).

Was reading "As Meat Loves Salt" by Maria McCann on the train yesterday. First time in months that I started to read an actual book again.

Well, I won't know if it's crap or not until I read it. And I have a lot of time to waste anyways.

Read, umm, beginning of the 4th book of Blue Bloods. I really don't like that series. "Mix of Gossip Girl and Twilight." (Didn't like either one dead)

Re-read This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen...really want to know when she's going to write her next book, it's been so long since the last cry

It's a pretty good book. Kind of depressing though. :/

Just last night, I took another stab at Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now. I started this book in April, but still dawdling around pg 79 , where Fisker is discussed (at great length).

The wind up bird chronicle by Murakami Haruki


Great choice in contemporary Japanese fiction. I think some of his most quirky an memorable characters are from this novel: Malta and Creta Kano, Noboru Wataya (the cat), Noboru Wataya (the politician), Lieutenant Mamiya, and Cinnamon and Nutmeg Akasaka.

I love that book biggrin.
It's my second favorite by her (Just Listen is the first.)
Along for the Ride just came out last year, so it might be awhile until her new book comes out...considering she just had a new kid a bit ago.
I know...I'm going on major Dessen withdrawal </melodramatics.>

On topic, about a half an hour ago/hour ago, was reading the third book in the Percy Jackson series...
Spoiler (highlight to view)
I hope they find Annabeth soon, I'm getting annoyed with the Percy's and Thalia's constant whining XD.
