"More Ghost Stories of Saskatchewan" by Jo-Anne Christensen.
Okay, about two nights ago, I finished a very sad book titled Kira-Kira. It's about a Japanese family struggling to live comfortably in Georgia. But the story really focuses on a pair of sisters that are closer than close. It's so sweet, but so sad at the end :(
No way STL dude...Of Mice and Men is a great book...shame its so damn short.
We had to do little performances of some of the parts which was awesome and funny.
You could of got a much worse book STL...I think you got the easy of the books compared to other classes...if they got diffrent books like they did in my old school.
Anyway at the moment I am reading 'Immortal' by Christopher Pike for like the fifth time ^^.

http://tinypic.com/f27hwh.jpg HAHA!
http://tinypic.com/f27hxu.jpg I got to read it for English too. Yea, but I'm reading The Old Man and The Sea right now, then Of Mice and Men, then Willy Shakey's Julius Caesar. http://tinypic.com/f27i4l.jpg I'M GUNNA DIE! I can't read stuff that I don't take interest in all too much.
Meh, my sister had to read a book called "Lord Of The Flies" for her GCSE coursework. Looks as though I won't have to read anything though since I've finished all my coursework... yay.
Just the bleedin' exams now. >.>
Wow, wanna talk about Freaky StL? I just got Of Men and Mice 2 seconds ago from UPS HAHA.
Lord of the Flies. Wow. What a Book. It's used as a classical family referance book for the Zacharko Household here. What do you mean you finished all yer coursework KS?
Finished all the essays and stuff we need to do for our GCSE exams. For some reason they never got us reading a book. O_oQuote:

Wow. It is WAY different, than my curiculum. We have like, 5 days of school on a web site, and lemme think, Spanish, Math, English, Web Design, Biology, and Bible, and you have something to do in them each day. Except for Web Design, that's every other day. We do on-line reading, free responeses, discussions boards, and thats about it. We sometimes of have a quiz at the end of the week. At the end of the quarter, [4 quarters in all] we have a Test in each course about everything we learned. We don't do SAT or any of that stupid STATE TESTS stuff. But we do read ALOT of books.

Why do I get the feeling we'll have one at the very end of the year.
Lord of the Flies is a good book, I read it in my own time though, not for school. =D I am reading Peter Pan at the moment, for University. And a bunch of articles on the Novikov Telegram. Then I have to get through Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. Ick. Hehe.
Dreamcatcher by Stephen King.
I'm currently reading 'Eldest' by Christopher Paolini. It's a pretty good book. It's the second in the Inheritance Trilogy. The first book (Eragon) was also pretty good, I mean I got into it and I usually don't get into books :p
I agree with you LKS , Of Mice and Men is a great book. I just wish it wasn't so short. Another book I read a few years ago was 'To Kill a Mockingbird' I was the only one in my class that actually liked reading the book :hehe: Another book I liked reading was 'Lord of the Flies' :cheese:
Did you know that he was only about 15 when he wrote Eragon, how amazing is that.
Yeah I know...I was shocked when I found that out. I found it out after I finished reading the book :pQuote:

Yeah, it's pretty amazing stuff for someone of that age, he has a great imagination, I started reading Eragon but unfortunatly I didn't get to far in it, can't remember why, I'll have to read it again some day as well as the second book.
Right now I'm reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, again.. we all got free copies at my school, even though I already have a huge book with the entire Narnia series. :P I really oughta read them sometime..
I've read a bit of Eragon, but I didn't get too far, it seemed like the pace was going slooooow and it bored me. I might pick it up again sometime, I dunno.. yeah.. I did a book report on it and I didn't even finish the book. XD I dunno what I got on that, I don't wanna know either lol..
We're reading short stories in my L.A. class, we just finished No-Guitar Blues by Gary Soto and we have to write a response to literature on it. I can relate to the main character, I really want a guitar but I dunno if we can afford one.. xP
I have to read this for school when I'm in year 12. From what my brother says, its pretty good, so I may try reading sometime next year.Quote:

Anyway, I haven't posted in this thread for a while, so recently, I've read Inkspell by Cornelia Funk, The Children of the Lamp and the Blue Djinn of Babylon by P.B Kerr, Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill, and the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams.
I love fantasy, so if you like fantasy, then you should read these. Even if you don't, Hitchhikers Guide is more Sci-fi I guess, but its got some good humor in it.
i read about a novel a day, so ive read lots of good books. i like born free, the recruit, *goes on for hours*
Honestly, about Eragon...I'm an authoress my self, though unpublished, and I love writing. I give no great praise to my writing, though I've been called 'gifted'. I'm no Mark Twain or Charles Dickens or George Eliot. But anyway, I thought Eragon was the biggest bit of plagerism I've ever read. A lot of the names as well as creatures\descriptions were like Tolkein!!!Quote:

^Hmmm... that's interesting, I've never read any of Tolkein's books myself so I wouldn't really know... but I'll have to look into that, you've got me all curious now...
@Simbaspirit: I read born free and living free (didn't quite get to read forever free before I had to return it ot the library) but anyway, I cried reading born free... as pathetic as that may seem, hehe, it was just so sad.
My brother loves the Eragon books. I think he's read both the first and second ones. I can't really get into them, and neither can Mooni. We find them boring, like we find our brother. And dorky. They seemed interesting to me at first, being a fantasy series. But, I dunno...just couldn't comprehend them. Maybe I'll give 'em a second chance when I'm extremely desparate for something to read...
