    Mine is The Good Dog it is awesome
     
    I'm reading a book called God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin at the moment.
     
    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
     
    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.
