Due to Deis constantly quoting and praising the book, I've decided to read "The One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".
I hope to begin it tomorrow, and hopefully finish it that afternoon.

I'm almost done with "Worst Hard Time." Very intetresting book due to the lack of education in school of the dust bow. I think that this is an event that should have been covered more in middle/high school.

Reading 1984 for University and I can't beleive I've never read it before. Its a fantastic book, I've read Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia before and liked them both, but 1984 is really entertaining, doubleplusgood!

I am reading Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan. I recommend this to any teenagers who are interested in Greek Gods and Mythology, because it is centered around all of this, and even if you're not, it is a great example of a great adventure book.

quote SphinxYeah I would agree with that. 1984 is probably the only assigned book that I've actually enjoyed.Reading 1984 for University and I can't beleive I've never read it before.

I've just started with A Clockwork Orange as an independent coursework. It looks good so far.
