The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon for the second time. An absolutely amazing book, probably my favourite. Lot of swearing towards the end though D:
That is such a good book. I had it in a Math Quiz once about primes, and I opened it and used the chapters.
=P

We semi-finished Hamelt, she had us each read a scene from the remaining two acts, and perform them for the class (because she ran out of time in making us read it)

Well, I win. Spoilers down below if you havn't read/watched the play yet~

I bet Hamlet died in the end. He did. Way to go Shakespeare, sticking to the same plot of killing off your main characters to end the story. I never even saw it comming. Only this time, you decided to kill everyone, except for Horiato. It amused me, becuase I was complaining earlier that poor Horatio didn't get that big a part in the play. Turns out, he's the only one to survive it! Irony...

I was sad to see Rosencrantz go... I liked his funny name.

My goodness! I'm reading a vampire novel. I know, the universe is starting to fracture. 
Given to me by a friend who thought I'd like it, as it's a bit odd. 
 
It's "Let the Right One In" by John Ajvide Lindqvist. 
I'm reading it in English, ocourse. 
 
Only read a little. 
It's slightly twisted. 
But intriguing. 
Hurrah.

I've just finished re-reading Eclipse as my holiday read, but I'm going to give Breaking Dawn a miss.

Started reading Macbeth again from the beginning, ready for my English coursework =[

^I'm sorry...MacBeth can drone on forever...

Now I'm reading Catch 22, since I have to read books from a list my teacher gave me, then write up a test on them that no one will ever use...I have to say, Catch 22 is amusing, much different then all those other horrible war books they've forced me to read ^-^ The characters more or less just keep spinning themselves around in a circle, in both their speach and actions, which explains the books Title, Catch 22.

It's not that bad. We just have to read the first two acts, as that's what we're focussing on. We're watching the rest of it on DVD, which is rubbish.

I'm going to start reading Sabriel again soon... It's been a while since I last read it.

Just finished Abhorsen, which means I've finished the Old Kingdom trilogy. Absolutely loved the ending. Full of excitement. Really liked the series as a whole.

Next on my list is Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver. By the end of the year I'll have probably have read through Kay's bookcase at this rate.

I'm in the process of reading two books: Lord of the Flies, and Inkspell.

Lord of the Flies is something I have to read for school, but honestly I really like it - it's very deep and has a lot of underlying meanings that I find interesting.

Inkspell is good all the same though (it's the sequel to Inkheart).

Hi again, I'm now on " The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" by Kate Summerscale. It's really good and has sucked me right in.
It is a Victorian era murder mystery based on the actual events at Road Hill House, Kent in 1860 and the musings of the actual detective who investigaed it.

Ah, I had to read that for school as well. That was rather interesting, seeing what the boys would do on an island all by themselves...It was kindof saddening though, seeing how they behaved and such...
