    Such a good book, easily one of my favorites.

    As for what I'm reading now, I'm going to the library tommorow to get Beyond Good and Evil, and Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche.
    Genealogy of Morality is fantastic, highly recommend everyone with an interest in philosophy to pick it up. Nietzsche is an interesting one.

    I didn't get to appreciate The Stranger that much, reading it in High School, but I do rather like it now.

    Putting The Trial on temporary hold.

    My new list:

    Reading Lolita in Tehran - Azar Nafisi
    An Invitation to a Beheading - Vladimir Nabokov

    Gonna start The Time Traveler's Wife once I have time.

    Yesterday I bought and read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein and all of you should go read it right now.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I really liked that book. It drags on a little at spots, but overall, I liked it and the ending.

    Summer reading for Junior year of high school rocked. We got to pick any 5 books as long as a teacher approved of them, and I got to read Robert Jordan

    I'm reading the Earthsea series by Le'Guin right now. fantasy stories are my weak spot, they catch me and I can't stop

    I have been intermittently reading <i>Against the Day</i> by Thomas Pynchon. I am about 800 pages into it out of around 1100 pages. Hopefully I will finish it some time this summer, but probably not until after the bar exam.

    If you like <Slaughterhouse-Five</i> then you should read <i>The Sirens of Titan</i>, which is my favorite of Vonnegut's novels.
