Watership Down by Richard Adams.

I really, really like that book, and my favorite rabbit is Fiver. :D

Just started 'Salem's Lot, by Stephen King. I have an obsessive thing with his books lol. It's fun if anyone wants their horror not too scary. :D

Well, just an hour ago i finished reading 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
Fantastic, i really felt sympathy for Blanche at the end.
Though even moreso for Stella.

I've got 200 pages of Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince to finish before next week (preparing myself for the final book)

I'm 40 pages into 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, and so far it seems promising

'Beyond Good and Evil' By Nietzsche is getting a right good looksee, annotations in pencil etc

'The Stand' by Steven King is great, currently reading that as well

Still not finished 'Northern Lights'!

Hmm, i need to learn to stop starting so many books :|
Characters are people too you know!

lol Never would have guessed, Clau! :P

So I'm definitely less than 300 pages away on War and Peace. (I had a very long break from it-now I'm determined to finish it!) I just finished Page After Page by Heather Sellers (excellent book) and Animal Farm by George Orwell. I have to read A Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde for book club next, so I'm looking forward to tackling that!

By the Light of the Moon by Dean Koontz. It's good - so far...

Yum! The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams. A brilliant author! I'm enjoying it so far.

I love "Chapter after chapter"! Have you read "Page after page"?

Still I'll rise."

Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
