Rereading all the Douglas Adam's Hitchiker's Guide books, then I shall start on And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer, which I've heard good things about and am quite looking forward too.

Myths and Legends of Japan, various Roman history books, Vasari's Lives of the Artists, re-reading Titus Andronicus, and about forty other things. I just spilled General Tso on a biography of Queen Isabella.

*sigh* Once again I've picked up the complete works of Shakespeare. I wish that the damned man never wrote such good plays, so I didn't had to re-read them when my fancy for Ye-Halfe-Olde-English kicks in.

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. A good short story that falls under the Female Gothic category.

Sadly, I have given up on "An Echo In The Bone" for now and have switched to the DragonLance collection "The Dragons of Krynn"

I love this book.

Books we get for school are pretty easy to read, for me at least. I hope we get some Russian literature someday.

I'm read The God Delusion.
I like it, because it clearly lays out a lot of what I already knew, but did not know how to describe.

It is very good. Notes from the underground is good too. If you are interested in Russian literature I suggest starting with A Hero of Our Time.

Hey anyone know if Contortionist's Handbook had anything to do with Catch Me if You Can or if it's just a coincidence?

That's a lovely little story. It's so perfectly told.
I just finished reading Undead and Unwed; I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped.

Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth. I think I like it even better than American Pastoral (wich I didn't think he'd ever top) - it's shorter, more savage, and hilariously painful. Or maybe painfully hilarious, whatever.
