has anyone here read/or is reading a book called "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime"?
that is a marvelous read.

Yup, it was compulsory reading for us in Year 9.

I'm currently flicking through the Chemistry textbook I bought yesterday. I have a lack of new books to read =[

It was pretty good... I'd read it a year or so before we read it in class, and really enjoyed it then. But reading it at the excruciatingly slow pace that it was read in class put me off of it a bit...

I think I'll re-read it when I go back to school ^^

I'm forced to read Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, for a summer reading project.  :dry: I think it is a pretty dull book.
I just got finished reading My Sister's Keeper though, it is a very epic and suprising book (especially the end!)

Shaymin is adorable!!

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

I'll also collect the other two:

City of Ashes.
City of Glass.

I fell in love with it, would really make a good movie.

reading American Gods [author's preferred text, hur 0o] by Neil Gaiman... finally xD; 
I got Anansi Boys a few years back and loved it, [& Neverwhere is possibly my favourite book] so.. finally bought this. 
about halfway through.. it is most spiffy. love the concept, ocourse. 
hurrah for vague surrealism~

^ IT is a lovely book, so is the movie :)

Harry potter and the deathly hallows-fanmade version. It wins the jk Rowling version.
