So I know most of you know how to read...

Nooooooo I was afraid of that. I just couldnt find it

I only knew it existed because I made it!

I said it in the other thread, and I'll say it again: I read crap. I love science fiction and mystery and horror. I'm not much for the classics, but I will give anything a shot recommended to me. For whatever reason, I lean more towards books with a female lead character. Maybe because I feel like I can relate better, who knows. I don't know how much I can relate to a half vampire half werewolf though, like the main character in the book I'm reading now. :)

I just finished A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by Joyce and was blown away. Definitely rocketed to the top of my list of favorite books. Dubliners has a few wonderful stories (Araby being my favorite) but has a lot of mediocre ones as well. I'm looking to read Ulysses soon when I have the time.

Currently I am reading A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace which is just a collection of his non-fiction articles/essays.
Also making my way through Cancer as a Social Activity: Affirmations of World's End by Michael D. Williams (Singer of Eyehategod) which is a collection of his very negative and surrealistic poetry.

Do you like David Foster Wallace? I'm told repeatedly that I should read him, and I have yet to get around to it.

Araby is, by far, my favorite story of the collection, but I think they definitely all hold merit. Ulysses is a hell of an undertaking. I couldn't have done it without the reading group a few of us formed over the summer.

I'm trying to make my summer reading list. I've added Beige and The Meaning of Night. Anything new you all are reading? I'll dig through this thread later, but I have to go clean out my classroom now.
*********
Okay, I'm just waiting for my principal to sign off on my room, so I had some time to browse through this thread again. I've also added HP Lovecraft, The New York Trilogy, the Fire & Ice series and Almost Lost. That should get me to July. Anything else?

Oh, and funwithpinetrees: I finally read Evasion. It was pretty good.

So now that Carla dug out this one: I have 2 years of reading I am intent on getting through this summer....including the crap that you are talking about linsee. :) :) And if you want an addicting series...which also doesn't have an ending at the moment. Try "Vampire Academy" series amazing female lead...started the first book 4 days ago and I'm on the third right now.

But, my next books are all hippie stuff that I didn't get to fully read while studying: "Cradle to Cradle: remaking the way we make things" and "Movement of Movements: is another world really possible" are first on the list.
