Just read Post Captain by Patrick O'Brien. I'm really liking this Aubrey/Maturin series of books so far. 2 down 18 to go...
Currently reading Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. Amazing so far, Clarke is by far my favorite Sci-Fi writer. Everything he writes seems like it could actually happen.

I've recently finished Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, William Goldberg's Lord of the Flies, and Goerge Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. I'm currently reading John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids. After that I'm going to take a break and read a Dean Koontz book called Odd Thomas.

After reading this I really can't wait to see this movie. This was surprisingly funny, and intense. Hellboy is a great character, and I Ron Perlman is going to be awesome as him.

heh- while I was grounded I re-read my book collection and a few others, but in the past three days I've read..
'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee ( I LOVE THIS BOOK! and since we're reading it in school I've read it three and half times in the past three weeks)
'One-Minute Manager' by..err the guys who also wrote 'Who Stole my Cheese?'
'Les Miserables' by Victor Hugo or is it Hgo Victor or am i completely wrong?
and then last night I started 'Jane Eyre' by the most excellant Charlotte Bronte and in the past 13 hours it has become my favorite book-and will promptly be replaced after I am finished with it, that is until I pick it up again
