    Heh, infact, I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird for school right now.
    Alot of schools did buy it, but an example of proper grammar and sentence structure? Hmm I don't know about that. Ok so it's alright for that, but I still think I spotted a few mistakes before, but I could be wrong.

    Though quite boring on the whole, I still like it, some parts of it just made me want to read on a bit...

    Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. It was quite good, I finished it in one day.

    Catcher in the Rye was pretty good. Except, as I said before, when his manic depressiveness got redundant.

    I just read "Of Mice and Men". A nice short depressing little jaunt, it was. I loved it. There was nothing about it that presented itself as high and mighty, like some other stuff I had to read (SCARLET LETTER!!! die Hester!!!), it was just a simple but powerful tale about these two guys George and Lennie in depression era california i think...it's an amazing novella, and just over 100 pages. Even if you don't like it, it's worth a read through. Its ending is extremely sad though. It sarted to get to me

    Book 9 is a good one. I'm waiting for Crossroads of Twilight to come out in PB so that I can get a copy of it. Apparently it's fairly uneventful, but I still want to read it.

    I just finished reading The Last Dragonlord and Dragon & Pheonix by Joanne Bertin. Awesome author...
