Normally this is where I would quote your post and pick out all the titles and authors I'm fond of, but that's annoying to do from my phone, so I shall have to abridge this post by simply saying:

THE RUNAWAY JURY~!

[Stars]

I read about 20 or so of his books last year, it's on the 10th grade list.
Runaway Jury was really good, though not his best.

[rekaru]

Ah, very nice. I've created a list of books to read this year as well, possibly over 30 but definitely under 50.

[Stars]

I know, there are better ones; I just love that particular book for some reason though. :3

[Stars]

Currently I'm reading a series by Anne McCafferey called the Petaybee Twins. Pretty good, and it has selkies, sci-fi style. Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot.

Also, here's 10th grade's booklist, does not include summer reading or school reading.

[rekaru]

I'm now reading Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner.

[lazlo falconi]

Haha, I remember a time when I was the only person posting in here, now I'm the only one not posting. How's that for coincidence, momoko? With all your precious... science, can you explain THAT?

[Maelstrom]

On book 3 of the Liveship Traders trilogy, called the Ship of Destiny. Corny title, but I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

[rekaru]

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

[Maelstrom]

Fulll Moon Wo Sagashite

Also reading Break Sword but I have to wait for the next chapter to be translated.

[Stars]

Just finished The Sign of Four.

I had no idea Holmes was a druggie.

[Monkeydog]

I had no idea Holmes was a druggie.

You didn't?

I think I was told that while watching The Great Mouse Detective. I thought it was common knowledge.

I'm reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris.

[Maelstrom]

Nope, didn't know that either, but I don't think I ever read more than 1 Holmes book ever. And the one I did read, I really don't remember much of it. It was meh.

[Monkeydog]

You're crazy, ESPECIALLY if it was The Sign of the Four.

[Maelstrom]

Nope, not that one. I really don't remember the name of the book either.

[Stars]

Just finished Murder at the Vicarage. I didn't think I'd like Miss Marple, but it turns out she's actually kinda awesome. d(''d)

[Maelstrom]

Yep, she's a sly old bat. I remember reading a bunch of those books. I don't remember any of them very well either. xD

[Stars]

It's the one where a guy whom nobody likes gets killed, and just about everyone has a motive for doing it.

[rekaru]

this spring break:
*The Brothers Karamazov (reread)
*Absalom, Absalom! (midway through so far)

[Kamau]

I recently finished reading all of Ruroni Kenshin online. I want to buy the series now, because I really enjoyed almost all of it.

Since reading Kenshin, I looked around and found Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi and I'm currently reading that. I really, really wish this was a game in the series, but it's actually a take on the game with Roy as the main character but from a different perspective and with new main characters. I enjoy it a lot, and the twists are the crazy-awesome that I would love to see my enemies incorporate into their strategies.
