If not, find a book, reading's good for you! I'm going to be reading (mostly re-reading for the majority of my list): Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling (re-reading, already re-read the first three) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling (re-reading) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling (re-reading) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan (if I ever finish the Shadow Rising) The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice The Lost Years of Merlin series by TA Barron (re-reading, if I can get around to it) The Lost Years of Merlin I'm only going to read after/if I finish The Shadow Rising and The Tale of the Body Thief. I'm only concerned about finishing those two since I've been putting it off for ages, and I'm 100% sure I'll have read the whole Harry Potter series by the time the summer's gone. Which makes me incredibly sad. And I'm 100 pages away from the ending of Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, and I'll be finished by tomorrow night, since it's looking like I won't be able to read it until tomorrow afternoon because I left it somewhere.

My reading list is this: I Me Mine by George Harrison A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Books I might buy later on during summer: Brave New World (forgot author) Catch-22 by Joseph Heller Any Kurt Vonnegut book I can get my paws on

Deathly Hallows...I really wonder what it means, because it's focusing on the horcruxes but she's never mentioned Hallows. I want to know what her other titles were. But yep, last one.

I read something how she was disappointed with a book of hers and decided to rewrite it. Some say she does better with the whole Harry Potter plot than J.K. Wish I had a link.

I've already read a chunk of Brave New world though... weird book (In the future babies will be made in factories via machines, at least that's what wuz going on in the beginning, I'm not sure if the whole book's about that).

Yeah, I read about it a while ago. But given how the sixth book was written, I'm not surprised, everyone was disappointed with how she wrote that one. Or at least everyone I know of that reads them.

Um...Godric's*. It's Godric's Hollow. The spelling is different, so it can't signify something happening there, though I think there might be.

It's summer again, so what's everyone reading and planning to read? I'm currently reading Path of Daggers, but I'm going to take a break after this book to read Dragons of Autumn Twilight. So, here's my summer reading list: The Path of Daggers - Robert Jordan Dragons of Autumn Twilight - Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Twilight - Stephanie Meyer The Sword of Shannara - Terry Brooks Hamlet - Sir William Shakespeare Lirael - Garth Nix Okay, that might take me the whole summer or longer. But it's in no particular order, and Hamlet shouldn't take me more than 5 hours. I just don't have as much time as I used to to read x.x I'm busy watching my nephew during the day now, and I just read before I go to sleep...

Advanced Posts: 2,087 Group: Global Moderator Member #66 Joined: February 23, 2006 Gender Female Innate Color Red Zodiac Sign Taurus	I'm almost done with Path of Daggers. I remembered I promised someone I'd read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, so I'm on book 3 of that. Quick reads, takes only about a day to get through one of them. Or, in my case, an evening and a morning. I just don't like the fact that it's a romance story. And that there aren't a lot of conflicts or fighting or anything. It's all fluff, mostly.
