    I've already managed to finish Reaper Man by Terri Pratchett. I decided to skip a few books cause the shop didn't have Wyrid Sisters, and also i heard that Death was one of the central characters. To tell the truth i didn't think that his book was as good as the others that i've read so far.

    That's the book I'm reading right now, since I have to for english class. It's not half bad, I suppose.

    Well, the last book I read was Dreamland, can't remember the author... rather good book since it was my first book to read in two days.

    I'm currently reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini, rather good book so far, but I'm not that far into it to really say it's a great book. But I'm amazed with the author.... being only 15 when he graduated high school, and then starting on writing Eragon....

    Finally, finally, FINALLY finished The Dark Elf Trilogy. Man, no wonder Drizzt Do'Urden seems pretty popular. ;P Anyways, I guess I'll read the book my brother gave to me, or two backs rather... Penny Dreadful and Hell's Half Acre, both by Will Christopher Baer (who's last book I read, Kiss Me, Judas, was actually very, very good).

    I have read A Child Called It and it was so sad. I cried my eyes out it was just so sad. It was horrible the kind of things that his mother did to him/made him do.

    Anyways, the last book I have finished was Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey.

    I've just recently finished "Silence" and "The Samurai" by Shusaku Endo and just loved both of them!!! I totally need more books by Endo!

    They're just wonderful!! But, has anybody ever noticed that "Silence" seems to be a direct answer to Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory"? It's like Endo is answering or reinterperting Greene in a Japanese context. Very cool, but a bit strange, too.

    Hmm... last book I had to read; The Source. Quite possibly the most boring (is boringest a word?) book I have ever read.

    Last book I read for pleasure was The Chosen. Really good book. Really enjoyed it. I recomend it 100%. Go get it! It's by Chiam (Chaim?) Potok.
