Jane Eyre is the best book evah, I'm glad someone else appreciates it! :) I'm reading a collection of Edgar Allen Poe's short stories and poems. He truly is a master writer!

Idk, some poetry is just weird. But some isn't too bad. I've been doing poetry for writing this week.
I read Pride and Prejudice like last year, and it wasn't too bad. I want to read To Kill A Mockingbird soon.

I'll have to get it out of the library and read it. I've read part of it for school, and it seems to be interesting.

C'mon ya'll, poetry is awesome!! It's better if you have someone read it to you though, or if you read it aloud to yourself. Oh, and if you start reading aloud on a bus or something, you'll get weird looks, so ya might wanna take that into consideration!! 
Ooohh, I love Tolkien's books, Lizzy!!! And I read Misty over and over when I was younger! I really like the Redwall books too, have you read any of Brian Jacques' non-Redwall books? The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is AWESOME!!! My favourite Sherlock Holmes book is the Hound of Baskervilles, it's great. What's your favourite Sherlock Holmes book?
... If you couldn't tell, books make me realllly excited!

Poetry's nice, but best and completely heart melting when someone write something for you. *dreamy*
I love Tolkien. I've read the LOTR series and the The Hobbit. I haven't got around to The Silmarillion.
The Chronicles of Narnia are awesome. I've read every single one of those and I'm in the middle of Prince Caspian right now. Movie comes out soon!

We read through that one on Bible class. It's definitely not the kind of book that makes you feel fuzzy inside.

I want to start reading the Lazarus Trap.
quote:
For Val Haines, dying may be the chance of a lifetime. Awakening in a jail cell and bleeding from his head, Haines remembers nothing. Not even his name. As his memory slowly begins to return, Haines discovers that the world thinks he's dead. With nothing but a few personal belongings and a sizeable amount of cash, he'll do anything to claim a new life... or die trying.
and then there's also the Plague Maker and Thr3e... stoopid procrastination.

I'm reading "Amusing ourselves to death" by Neil Postman.
Is ok. Not exciting though. But what do you expect from a philosophy book?

Oh my, I haven't read that one!! (yet) I just read Imposter a week ago, it was awesome!! Davis Bunn is such an amazing writer, I've read tons of his books, and I just can't get enough!
You haven't read Thr3e yet? You totally have to!!! Did you know that there's been a movie made of it? Haven't watched it, dunno where I could find it around here, but I realllllly want to.

I'll have to look and see which one was my favorite...I have such bad memory.
But it was still a good book.
