Garden of Beasts by Jeffery Deaver. Good stuff.
"Hamlet" and "A midsummer night's dream" (by mr. Shakespeare). Its for school, though both of them are pretty good

Right now I'm reading Quicker than the Eye by Ray Bradbury (I read alot of Bradbury) btw Vampyr, are you reading that all at the same time? I can't even concieve of reading more than one book at once.

The Dark Tower series book 3: The Waste Lands - by Stephen King. Very good high-fantasy adventure story series, made unique by a slightly western setting and a badass main character, Roland of Gilead, the Gunslinger.
--------------------------------------
I enjoy Stephen King, yet the GS series did not entice me at all. I did not pick up the latest book.
I have read Homer's The Odyssey 3 times. The Count Of Monte Cristo is also a great book.

Nothing beats a good dystopia...well, maybe Catch 22 but thats it...

I'm actually thinking of stopping the series after this book. I made it through the first book easy, and the ending excited me very much, giving little details to what the dark tower is. The idea of this mysterious structure carried me through the second book. Now I find myself little over halfway through the third, and relizing that I still have 4 more books until we find the dark tower, I find it hard to make myself read it. I think I might just ask someone what happens and just move onto Discworld, the next series in my queue. I'm probably going to read Ender's Game before that, at the excited request of a friend.
--------------------------------------
Speaking as someone that read all the Dark Tower books over the course of his releasing them... well, I found the journey to the Dark Tower very entertaining but you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you're only reading to reach the end. If SK and the books attempt to teach you anything, it's that... the journey is what makes a book, not the ending.
Im re-reading a load of books I read when i was 10-12.
ATM, it's the excellent Treasure Island.
Think I'll read Through The Looking Glass next.

great stuff.
Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
I actually haven't read a book in a while, but the most recent ones I've read would be...
1. Star Wars series
2. Dragonlance series
3. Graphic novels (star wars ones...those are very entertaining, just a long comic book)
I just haven't picked up a book in a while. I've got some lined up for me to read just sittin on the shelf, a new dragonlance book...and a spiderman book, maybe I should start reading again since its spring break and I tend to get bored with nothing to do.
