| Hiroku:Its really an amazing feat that you're a mod on a forum, with your traumatic hardships!
Chu: I've heard of neither of them; odd in what way?
Shawana: never heard of that one either, though I might have seen it on the shelf. :S
Urboros:*shakes fist at classes* I know what you mean. So are they non-fiction; what you're trying to read?

| @Sycho: Firstly, it's composed of many stories, so when I speak of endings and beginnings, they're of the individual stories.
The beginnings are great, though the storylines are a bit... confusing. I've only read two stories of the book, and while one used a lot of magic realism, and was truly interesting and thought-provoking, the other was just... odd. This guy is kind of "stuck" in his life, with no job, living with his wife supporting him, and just all-around depressed. The story throws plenty of interesting events at him but in the end, he just goes back to being depressed; if not even more. The ending just left me feeling really empty I suppose.

| White Fang by Jack London
I'm not really into it,
but I have to read it for a book report.
Ugh.
I hate reading.

| I am currently reading the thief lord for my english class. I hate it when I have to read potentially good books for school, because I find it less enjoyable when I am basically forced to read it, rather than read it for entertainment >.<;

| At the moment, I am reading Pride and Prejudice. I'm sur ethat doesn't need a summary. x3
Although, on hold are The Dragon Heir by Cindy Williams Chima, and The Dalemark Quartet by Diana Wynne Jones. x3 Which are both amazing books, but I've been wanting Pride and Prejudice for so long i had to read it first.

| I'm reading Things Fall Apart at the moment. It's extremely interesting, providing a lot of insight into African culture while keeping things easy to relate to. ^_^

| I'm currently reading Flygirl, whose author I have forgotten at the moment, but I think it's an okay book.
I'm reading it just for fun. :)

| I actually don't read very often even though I love to... and I work in a book store (very part time though). LoL, I just read slowly and it makes me very tired, so I end up falling asleep or getting a headache.
I'm currently reading:
Juuni Kokki vol 3, by Fuyumi Ono
Grania, by Morgan Llywelyn
and probably like 4 others I forgot about already x); I have alooong list of books I need/want to read...
