I mean, for recreation, for fun, not a school thing or anything.<br><br>I'm currently reading Watership Down. (Richard Adams, 1972) I'm not very far, only about page 40. I'm sure a lot of people here will have read it. Right? (Too lazy to do a sypnosis, look it up. =P)

(oh, and the last book I finished reading was Ozy and Millie 5, which I finished and started reading today. When it arrived. I only ordered it on the 7th, which is fairly impressive for Plan9...)

I finished <i>Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions</i> the other day, which is, in my mind, one of the most brilliant books written. Currently, I'm reading <i>Beowulf: A New Verse Translation</i> by Seamus Heaney (translator), as well as leafing through <i>The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain</i> by Betty Edwards on my spare time.<br><br>I'm also reading <i>Heretics of Dune</i> and <i>Catch-22</i>, although I haven't actually picked either up in about a month. After that, I'll have to read <i>Chapterhouse: Dune</i>, if only because I have to see unread books taunting me from my bookshelf. (This reminds me, I also need to get caught up on <i>Analog Science Fiction and Fact</i>.)<br><br>

Technically it's for school, but I chose to read Edith Hamilton's Mythology for extra credit. I've always loved mythology.

Currently reading: <b>The Trial</b> by Franz Kafka.<br><br>Read within the past year: <b>Lost in the Arctic</b> by Lawrence Millman, <b>Cosmopolis</b> by Don DeLillo, <b>Pattern Recognition</b> by William Gibson, and the last two Harry Potter books (J.K. Rowling desperately needs an editor).<br><br>I've started and need to get back to: <b>Moby Dick</b> by Herman Melville, <b>Breaking News</b> by Robert MacNeil, <b>The 9/11 Commission Report</b>, <b>The Chronicles of Narnia</b>, <b>Clouds in a Glasss of Beer</b> by Craig Bohren (it's a physics book), and as always <b>Don Quixote</b> by Cervantes.
