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

It is good book though, an Inspector Calls is a good one too but my local library does not have them :(


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.

i think she's doing a...prequel or something?

Wiki says...:
Quote:

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!

Re: What I'm reading now.
 
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!
