Splitting those posts into a new thread, since the old one was over two months old. >>;

BlackOphanimon, make sure you check the date of the last reply to a thread before you add your own reply to it. If it's over 30 days then you need to just start a new thread. :x

Since I'm trying to read most books considered American classics, I'm currently reading Gone with the Wind. I'm actually surprised that I'm liking it.

[Gummy]

Right now I'm reading The Great Gatsby. I admit, if I didn't have my teacher there to explain all the symbols, I probably wouldn't like this book.

I have almost completed The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict. It's quite interesting.

I especially like when Madison says that taking Canada would be a "mere matter of marching" and all three attempts to invade Canada failed, lol.

Japanese translated version of "Carnosaur" by Harry Adam Knight.
It's basically a book that reads like a B-movie. lol dinosaurs killing people etc.

I bought the book because it was 10 yen at a local second hand bookstore, and because the translated title was "Dinosaur Crisis".
Cap...com?

I just read the two Diary - Wimpy kid books, cause I won them in a raffle ($20 value, yours free!), but yeah, they were quick reads, but really good. :D

Sorry I really did not know that I thought that I should post I did it on accident

Whenever I get time to myself, I'll try and read the CHERUB saga that I bought a couple of weeks ago. In school, however, we're forced to read Huckleberry Finn. It's not that I have anything against Huckleberry Finn or anything, but the speed my class reads at leaves a lot to be desired.

The works I yearn for far outweigh those I have.

However, I have been reading the beautiful creation-myth, the Silmarillion by J R R Tolkien, and hence the avatar. This is my third time reading (I reread a lot) and the greatness is only becoming more understood. A writer inspired by classical mythological works cannot go wrong.

On a different vein, I have been simultaneously reading the second book of Micheal Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné saga. Not quite as amazing, but an interesting read nonetheless.

[Flareon's Flame]

I'm reading a book called The Dream of the Stone and almost halfway through it. It's pretty good for a fantasy novel.
