aww, artemis fowl. i have it all on audiobook. i enjoyed them all but time paradox was kinda meh...and the audiobooks got a new narrator and he just wasn't as good as nathaniel parker.

haven't read atlantis complex though but i'm kinda not really seeking it out either...i feel like the series should have ended at lost colony so i don't have much hope :c

John Green needs to come out with a new book as soon as possible

I also need to find my copy of Paper Towns so I can reread it.

Today I started reading the Thrawn trilogy. Do I have to be terribly excited?

Since this would probably fit better here than anywhere else, I'd just like to point out, sadly, that the author of "Where the Wild Things Are" (among others), Maurice Sendak, died early Tuesday.

You should really purchase Looking For Alaska, his first book.

First book he ever published, wins the Michael Printz award.

I love my library for the most part but I feel so disapointed when they dont have a book I want.

I'm sure that both of these books have already been discussed, but I'm going to bring them up again.

John Dies At The End
Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey

Literarygasm.

Also, have you guys heard about The House of Leaves?

Instead of The Great Gatsby, we're reading John Grisham's A Painted House in english class.

It's actually a break from the thriller novels he usually writes. I haven't read it, but it sounds like a typical coming-of-age story set on a farm in 1950s America.

To me that translates straight into "boring."

The Great Gatsby isn't exactly titillating either.

Not saying it is. Pretty much all the "classic" books read in English courses are dull.

Also it's annoying to read these old fossils and be told to analyze them when their writing style is something that would never fly today. I want to learn relevant skills, not obsolete techniques.
