I'm reading The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I'm a bit disappointed though. It's very slow and not half as good as Interview with the Vampire.
When I'm finished I'm going on to a book from the SF Materworks series. It's called More Than Human but I forget who it's by.

I'm reading the City of Gold and Lead, thats the only book in the Tripod trilogy that I havn't yet read. After that I plan on reading The Clan of the Cave bear, because, I heard that the Earth's Children series is insightful.

I just finished Mercy by Julie Garwood and Paranoia by Joseph Finer. Mercy SUCKED, Paranoia was good. I would esp. recommend Paranoia because it's going to be a major motion picture soon, and it would be cool for you guys to read the book first. It's extremely witty, fast, and entertaining. Usually I read fantasy (that's my pet genre) but I still really enjoyed this.

I'm reading "The haunting of Alizabel Cray" by Chris Wooding, its good dark fantasy for teenagers.
r3bel, trust me, its better to read stuff aimed at you age group than try to read grown up fiction. I know, i tried and didn't understand a word. And i'm officially Gifted and Talented..........

I just borrowed JOB: A Comedy of Justice by Robert A. Heinlein from the library. It is quite good so far.

The Wayfarer Redemption -- Sara Douglass
Sophie's World -- Jostein Gaarder (starting it again for like the 5th time, since everytime I try to read it, I get sucked into something else!)
Just finished Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.

Don't call yourself a "measley" twelve year old!  We love you much anyways.

Nearly finished Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. That's a really fun book to read while your on vacation; witty, intelligent, interesting and well paced. The more I read from Atwood, the more I grow to like her.

I enjoyed it very much, except near the very end where the slipper is involved. I dunno. It's just at that part it all came together that this was a Cinderella story and I just started hating it, but I had to read the end. However, I thought it the end brought it all back in my good favor.

I've just finished reading THE SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT By Dean Koontz
I know it's a older book. I've got bookshelves full of books and I just read them as I want to. I'm a bigg yardsale junky and pick up books every weekend.
Dean Koontz is amazing. This is a must read.
