I'm reading Frankenstein and The Secret Life of Bees for school, but I'm re-reading ttfn by Lauren Myracle on the side. I just finished some truly amazing books and I still have a few laying around that I need to read, but I have stuff to read for school so I can't really afford to start any really good stuff cause then I won't read the stuff for school! :P

Jeez, how much do they recycle the GCSE syllabus??! I had to do Of Mice And Men as well...
And we also looked at An Inspector Calls, too. It bored the hell out of me. I think we spent atleast three weeks reading it and picking apart every last word of it... : (
I'm kind of reading Interview With A Vampire at the moment, but I can't really get into it.

A sequel and a prequel are planned. The prequel, entitled The Magician's Apprentice, deals with the Sachakan war. The sequel, a three book series, deals with the aftermath of the Black Magician Trilogy and the first book will be released February 2009.
yaaay!
and on the subject of english gcse, i got lucky. though doing An Inspector Calls, i have been spared Of Mice and Men in favour of Stone Cold (Robert Swindells, a newer option i think) -- aaaand my english teacher says she'll be the shakespeare as an oral. yippee!

I'm not reading much at the moment.
I'm reading a book about Robert Pattinson and A midsummer nights dream by Shakespeare. Need to learn my scripts at some point...

After finishing off A Clockwork Orange and Twilight yesterday, and also enduring the mind numbing of Animal Farm, I started today on a book called In The Dark Of The Night by John Saul. Kind of interesting, but it's nothing special. I want to get is finished by tonight so I can re-start New Moon tomorrow, so I need to get reading!
I've decided I'm going to try to read atleast a book a week this year, and if i keep going through books like I am at the moment it looks like I'm going to get through atleast seventy/eighty-ish!
Gotta love library cards!

The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I heard it's a lot better than her Twilight books.
