This summer after finals I'll be reading....

- Harry Potter Books 1-6
- Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury (This should be good. I loved Fahrenheit 451)
- A Seperate Peace by John Knowles
- War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
- Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (Hopefully I will be able to start this book at least)

Right now, I'm trying to finish Jennifer Government by Max Barry but school is such a big low down on me. geez.

Right now I am reading a trilogy series by Anne Rice called 'The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty', Beauty's Punishment , and 'Beauty's Release' it take's the story of sleeping beauty but she is turned into a sex slave. right now I am on the 3rd and final book and it's not that bad.
So if anyone is interesting in reading it note that the sex scenes are very detailed and it has homosexuality in it as well so if you get offended over those things then don't read it.

I'm currently reading a book called "La Cena Secreta" wich means "The Secret Supper" and its talks about the misteries of Leonardo DaVinci's famous work.
I'm almost done with it, I stay up till 2 AM reading it, its adicitve!!!..
Its trully documented, and you get to learn a lot of thing from the Last Supper, that you wont learn in Dan Brown's books hahaha (I love them btw)
Its written by a Spanish authot, and as far as I know there is no translation to english.

Heh. I just recently completed reading The Da Vinci Code in 5 days. Great book!

I finished Dandelion Wine and absolutely loved it. It's a really good book. It doesnt really have a plot. Every chapter has a different story. It's a really good! I reccomend it to everyone!

ooh. And The War of the Worlds was really cool too.

I HATE SHAKESPEARE.


But yeah.

the Shopaholic series -- Sophie Kinsella
Sloppy Firsts / Second Helpings -- damn, I forgot her name and I'm too lazy to get the book.
East of Eden -- John Steinbeck (I think.)

I'm gonna start reading Dante's Club, at last, got interrupted by The Half Blood Prince hehehe..... I've heard its great!!!.

BTW.. READ HP and the Half Blood Prince, its awesome!!. I like every book, my favourite is the third one, but this one its trully revealing and shocking.......

You would't believe it I haven't read any of HP books, i still want to but it doesnt seem like i would in this century XD..
anyways I have a couple of pages away from finishing Dan Brown's The DaVinchi Code and I have the Digital Fortress but I haven't started reading it I also read Samurai Girl, its very cool really, Recommendation...

What do you think of The Da Vinci Code? I just listened to it on audiobook during my daily walks, and I just didn't like it. For me, it just had too many parallel constructions to the movie "National Treasure," which I despised. It just didn't come off as a good book to me, but I suppose there are quite a few people that would disagree with my opinion on it!

Then dotn coem to my school. This year we're reading TWO Shakespere Plays. I struggled enough with Romeo and Juniet last year. sigh... We have to read Julius Caesar and The Taming of the Shrew. I love Shakespere though.

Other books we're reading include A Tale of Two Cities (ahh! dickens!) Lord of the Flies, Oedipus Rex and Antigone. I think the last two are plays from Sophocles.
