I'm currently reading The World According to Garp by John Irving. Don't know how it got onto a summer reading list for LA I Honors...
What about you? Are you reading anything good right now?

No, I'm about to start reading ~If you could see me now~ by Cecilia Ahern (No1 bestselling author of PS I Love You!)
Hey I got it free with Marie Claire okay, it's worth £7.99!
Dying to Survive by Rachel Keogh. It's about a recovering heroin addict, and it shows her when she was at the height of her addiction to her now leading a new life. Interesting read.

In the middle of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Need some motivation to actually finish it.
Jellyfish swim by.
I started the sixth harry potter some time ago and haven't finished it. I'm also reading Silent Spring and Lord Foul's Bane.
The Principles of Thermal-Fluid Sciences,
Quantum Mechanics,
Basic Histology,
Human Anatomy and Physiology
And Digital Signal Processing.
That is all. (Picard voice)
Nothing at the moment, but I'm thinking of snatching up the Dexter books, the ones the Showtime series is based off of. I want to see differences and such.
Just started Doctor Sax, by Kerouac. And I've been meaning to get through Tarantula by Bob Dylan, so I'll probably read that after.
"Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides. It's really good. Like really really. I'm not even done with it yet, and it's already one of my favourites.
After that I'm gonna read either "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder or "The Virgin Suicides" also by Eugenides.
Also, I have many books written down on a list I have to read/buy.
That's a fantastic book.Originally Posted by Breine
I'm kind of in a reading drought, but I'm still in the middle of "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow" by Peter Høeg and a couple of Swedish books I'm not gonna bother naming. Also looking around in Oliver Sacks: "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat".
Oh, and "C++ How to Program", and "Programming in Ruby"
I saw the made-for-TV-movie based on the book, but that was years ago, so I don't really remember much about details from the story and such. The movie was probably just mediocre anyway.That's a fantastic book.
I've only heard fantastic things about the book itself, plus I'm interested in philosophy (and took it in High School) so I can't wait to read it.
I was forced to read Sophie's World when I was 11 and I thought it was absolutely. From what I remember, the concepts and ideas were okay but not incredibly immersive and gripping or well executed, and I really felt the writing was awfully dull.
But maybe I just suffered from forced school over-analysis syndrome. Ruined Jane Eyre and by extension every Victorian woman's novel ever for me as well.
I'm reading The Trial by Franz Kafka. I really enjoy it, though I liked The Metamorphosis much more. Then again, I'm not very far into it yet. I don't have much time to read because I work so much. I listen to audiobooks every day at work to make the time go buy, but my rule is that they can only be books I've already read, or essays that I haven't read, because I feel like listening to the audiobook of a novel you haven't read is crass and in bad taste.
As a result, I'm currently listened to Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, which was a freaking bizarre story, but pretty enjoyable, so I'm enjoying listening to it after having read it. Though not Murakami's best, like people insist.
I'm also listening to Blind Willow, Sleeping Women by Haruki Murakami. I quite like it.
I went through most of David Sedaris' books as well.
This. Also, the voice shouldn't affect the first way you see a text, no matter how fabulous the actor is.
