Just finished I, Coriander by Sally Gardner. Not bad, but not mind-blowingly amazing. Still liked it, though.

I've temporarily put a hold on my reading The Haunting of Alaizabel Crane by Chris Wooding, because I have gazillion library books due on Sunday, and because I haven't read some of them (5?), I need to do so. I really hate having no time to read anymore. I mean, it's a good thing I read fairly quickly, then, because I can get out more books and read them when I DO have time, but that isn't very often. :/

Just started the sequel to Airbreaker by Kenneth Oppel, Skybreaker.

I finished She's Come Undone and am now reading Forever In Blue (Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 4th book) I don't care that it's young adult, it's fun to read.

Pssssh, Hamlet was the original emo. "To be or not to be?" That describes every emo kid in existance!

Anyway! I'm reading Brave New World by Huxley. Got it at the used bookstore for real cheap, and so far, I adore it.

Nah, I always thought of Romeo and Juliet as the original high-school, sex-obsessed, screwed-up, dull romance, with a slightly perverted tone by today's standards.
I have a great dislike for Romeo and Juliet, ever since I read it and discovered it wasn't the great love story--but the great infatuation story.

Unless Shakespeare wrote Hamlet first.

Same, though it now creeps me out after I re-read it and realized that Juliet was 13. Fine for that day and age, but as I realized this when I was 13... >_<

I suppose that's the only Sherlock novel I read. Heresy, I know.

Anyways, what I'm reading:

Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: The Evolutionary Origins of Belief by Lewis Wolpert.

With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military by Michael L. Weinstein and Davin Seay.

Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley and Ron Powers.

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics.

I also plan to get the following next week:

The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel.

Sense And Goodness Without God: A Defense of Metaphysical Naturalism by Richard Carrier.

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah.

I had the pre-order the first two.

Great film though.
No matter what anyone says, it stuck to the book like a stink to a monkey.

(I quite liked the book for my part)

Going back to The Haunting of Alaizabel Crane- about halfway done now. It's really good. Not that I wasn't expecting it to be so- Chris Wooding's a fantastic write.
