    Hmm.. the last time I read a book to the end was probably about a year ago. It was for school, and it was called 'The Giver'. It's quite a good book I think.

    the giver is pretty good, it's by lois lowrey right and it's about memories and such, it's very different from our world in a way that they control everthying, everything's planned, and that everyone seems to be content with what they're assigned.... plus they seem to be just robots.... weird book....

    Well, I've just finished reading the dark tower series by Steven King. It was like the tenth time I've read them, but I still love them all! And now, I'm reading Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. It's pretty good so far. Also, I've also been reading alot of fan fics on fanfiction.com. And am concidering writing one myself, wich will probably be based on the game, Mike Tysen's Punch out.

    You are correct sir, and I'd highly recommend this book, The Giver. It has some good plot twists, which are always fun.
    Another fictional book I read once that was actually voluntary was A Wrinkle in Time, not to be confused with Stephen Hawkings' Wrinkles in Time, which is definitely different, but still as amazing.

    Shogun was awsome! It was required reading for my World History class, and Magus and I were two of the few people who actually read it. Would you recomend Tai-Pan?
    Anyway I've just got done reading the "His Dark Materials" Trilogy. That's The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and the Amber Spyglass. I liked them, but it isn't one of my all-time favorite series.

    I picked up Kushiel's Dart earlier today. It's by Jacqueline Carey. I've heard great things about this novel, and so far - the first 20 pages or so - it seems to be setting up quite nicely.

    I think you should read the dictionary, so as to learn how to spell the word <i>plethora</i>. Unless of course you meant that you have read "10,000 greek feet" of books lately.

    Maybe I should. But you are driven purely by sexual urge, says Sigmund Freud. And I don't listen to sex maniacs.

    I've read the new Harry Potter book, Order of the Phoenix. Other than that, I haven't read any other books.
