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)
I read Ozy and Millie, and all I got was this stupid laugh thingy.
Here and there with Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity.<br><br>Several waiting to be started, including a few Doctor Who books, and the His Dark Materials trillogy

(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 read the Narnia books (well it was only one but it had all 7 in it) but I finished the last one yesterday so I'm book less <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

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>

I'm currently reading a lot of books.<br><br>Tales from Watership Down (amazingly enough), a book on linguistics, and a ton of those "How to Speak..." random language books.<br><br>My library is starting to run out of books. <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm sure no one else here is reading <i>Hail, Holy Queen</i> by Scott Hahn.

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.
