    The last book I finished was Hard Love. It was so sad, and deep. It was about a guy named John who meeets a girl named Marisol. Merisol is a lesbian, and later in the book John falls in love with her. John mistakes there strong friendship for love, hard love. He expresses his love for her, but Marisol can't return it. She moves on to another path with these final words,"Hey, I love you too, Gio (John), "As much as I can." She ment that love in a friendly love, but its love all the same.

    "Yes it's hard love, but its love all the same,
    Not the stuff of fantasy, but more than just a game"

    "Hard to be so close to you, so hard to turn away"

    "....It was hard on you I know,
    When the only love I gave to you was love I couldnt show"

    "So I'll tell you that I love you even though I'm far away,
    And I'll tell you how you change me as I live from day to day,
    How you help me to accept myself and I won't forget to say,
    Love is never wasted, even when its hard love"

    Been reading alot lately.

    Warcraft: The well of Eternity (part 1 of 3)
    Warcraft: The Demon Soul (part 2 of 3)
    both written by Richard A. Knaak

    Also been reading the trilogy Starlight & Shadows which includes: Daughter of the Drow, Tangled Webs, Windwalker / all written by Elaine Cunningham

    And the latest I finished was Homeland which is book 1 in The Dark Elf Trilogy which is about the famous Drizzt Do'Urden /written by R. A. Salvatore (creator of the Forgotten Realms World)

    Currently reading the second on of The Dark Elf Trilogy named Exile

    The Forgotten Realms books are wonderful to read and take in, I strongly recommend these!

    Since my last post i've continued my dive into the (Disc)world of Terri Pratchett. And now have finished reading Wyrid Sisters and Night Watch (which my brother got for my birthday). I really enjoied both of them, espesally Night Watch.
    At the moment i'm reading Pyramids, but after this book i might take a break from the Discworld books, theres a book on Stalingrad that i've been wanting to read.

    I just finished Cinnamon by V.C. Andrews, and The Lovely Bones just before that. Awsome book. It made me kinda sad, but it was inspiring too. Okay, enough fluff from me ^.^

    I recently finished The Glory Field by Walter Dean Myers and omg it was so so boring. I had to read it for English. I have never been a fan of historical fiction, so maybe that is why I don't like it...

    Not necessarily a long book, but I just finished "The Dead" by James Joyce.

    I'm currently reading "The Emperor of Ocean Park".

    I was assigned a book in English today and then told to read the first chapter...I read the entire book. A Separate Peace by John Knowles.

    For anybody who's read Gordan Korman's Bruno and Boots series, it reminded me of that at first, but then it gradually began to remind me of The Catcher In The Rye. It's like the Catcher In The Rye meets Bruno and Boots. I absolutely loved it and I nearly cried! I haven't read a book that affected me so much in a long time!

    IMHO Anne Rice is over-rated.

    Last book I read was Animal farm, by George Orwell.

    (But I really enjoyed the short story "The Scarlet Ibis", I can't recall the author).
