As most can infer from the title, ya'll can talk about books and such here... Such as: Good books you recommend, bad books that you don't think anyone should waste time reading, ok books, boring books that have good info, and stuff like that... I'll post my top 10 list, and others can do the same if they so wish... Oh yeah, categories: sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction, children's books, (and so on...)
Anyway, a compilation of my 10 favorite books/ series/comics (not exhaustive... I've got alot more..)
1. Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
2. LotR, J.R.R. Tolkien
3. Fountainhead, Ayn Rand
4. Mary Higgins Clark books
5. Foxtrot (comic strip), Jim Adams?
6. 1984, George Orwell
7. The Far Side, (can't remember his name either...)
8. (any John Grisham books)
9. Black Beauty, Anna Sewell (I think)
10. Bunny Suicides (a comic book type thing, can't remember the illustrator)
horrible books that I wouldn't throw at my worst enemy: Across 5 Aprils (YEAGHHHHHHHHHHH!! )
Perhaps later we can have book reviews, etc.

ah, I can't really rate books, they're all pretty awesome, and I can't really decide which ones are better, there are so many subleties that I miss from reading them so fast, or for other reasons... But I forgot the add
A Wrinkle in Time (and the other books in that trilogy thing, by that one lady.. dang! Can't remember!)
Yeah... well, anyone else, feel free to post comments on books *(even if you aren't an American..)*
To Kill a Mockingbird- I think I've read it, was rather boring.. I've got to read it again this year.. Urgh...

perhaps after I finish memorizing a zillion freaking theorums, postulates, and correlaries for geometry, memorizing my German vocab, and reading another 30 or so pages of Les Miserables....

Poor you! I've already taken Geometry, so I've got all these Root functions and stuff... *gag* and we're doing history in French, and it's HARD!

Well, Les Miserables gets better in the middle, but it's so darn long... It takes me approximately an hour and a half to read about 30 pages, and it never fails, I always fall asleep when I read. Arrgh! And we have a big exam over it too... angry angry angry!
