| Is it good?
I'm reading Don Quixote. Its for class. It's not that bad, just not something I would normally pick off the shelf and read. Its interesting in the achievements it managed to do for its time period though.

| Hahaha, it's a nice book. The humor is a bit hard to get used to, but once you get into it, it's great. Actually, I think the book was banned for a while. Somewhere... o-0; I was sleeping when he explained the history.
xP Wait until you read about the old lady. She's had a rather interesting life.

| I'm currently reading The Alchemist, which is more of a light read that I'm finding difficult to really get addicted to. I always tend to put that book down a lot.
I'm also reading The Pursuit. XD Yeah, I'm a romantic sap. Psh. XP

I've heard good things of the Alchemist, but not from good sources.

I'm avoiding it because I don't have time to be addicted to a series.

Oh..I was gonna say read the entire series in the summer, but I guess that's not gonna happen if you're a slow reader. ^_^;

| I can read fairly quickly, but I just never want to. DX I love it and all, but it's hard for me to sit down and read...

Yeah, usually a book has to keep me addicted for it to be a success with me. XD Therefore, I tend to go for books with interesting stories that have me reading them for hours and hours.
I had heard good things about The Alchemist too, which is why I began reading it. I thought it would be a book with a nice story that will draw me in. But in reality, the story is there, but I'm unable to get into the story.. if that makes sense.
It's just over philosophizing about life in itself, rather than giving me the story for me to learn of life's journeys. It's like, having a psychiatrist ask you some tricky questions to better analyze you, THEN tell you their tricks and why he is asking you the questions and the outcome. XD I really hope that makes sense.

| Candide is really good, but I'm a little tired of it since I had to read it for two different English classes.
I'm not reading anything right now, except for parts of a Photoshop manual and Thinking With Type, both for classes.
