    Now I'm re-reading Deathly Hallows. It was so excellent, and my new favorite of the series, edging out Order of the Phoenix. Now I'm not looking forward to my summer reading at all because it all seems so boring after Harry's last adventure. What does everyone know about Cannery Row, Huckleberry Finn, and Nineteen Minutes? So far I've only read the first twenty pages of Cannery Row.

    I've read Huckleberry Finn and it's one of the better books by Mark Twain. The pictures that form in your head are amazing and the words he uses are so beautiful. I've heard Nineteen Minutes is a good book but haven't gotten my hands on it as of right now.

    Well, I was reading a CSI NY Book (Deluge) but then read the new Harry Potter book (without finishing the CSI NY book) then I finished the Harry Potter book, so now I guess I'm reading a CSI NY book. Only thing is, I haven't picked it up in a week because I think I will be dissapointed because it's not Harry Potter :p

    I just finished reading the Deathly Hallows and my CSI:NY books Deluge and Blood in the Sun are in the back burner at the moment since I have to read my Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure textbooks...I know, pretty boring and tedious reading materials... :lol:

    I am reading "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz. I thought it was really weird when I first started it, but it has gotten a whole lot better towards the end.

    I just started to read 'The 7th Death' (well that's the german title, no idea if it's the same in english). Seven women have been killed and the police assume it was always the same killer, but it wasn't. He's only killed 6 women and now he tries to find the killer of the seventh woman and wants to pin the other murders on him.
    It's good and as strange as it sounds I have to say that there are actually some funny parts in it. For example when the killer, Joe, talks about his mother...He says 'She'll turn 64 this year but doesn't look one day older than 70.' sorry but I thought that was funny...

    That sounds like a really interesting plot. What's the name of the author so I can look him/her up?

    Great! I'll go look him up on amazon. Thanks very much for getting back to me so soon.

    For anyone who wants to know I'm re-reading Jodi Picoult's "My Sister's Keeper." It's so similar to the episode "Harvest." You should go check out the summary for it. It's amazing how muc alike the two families are.

    i'm reading I Know This Much Is True By Wally Lamb. i'm almost finished, i haven't been able to put it down. this book is definately one of the bests books i have ever read. its about twin brothers and one is a paranoid schizophrenic. they were raised by their incredibly passive mother and abusive stepfather. its told from Dominick's (the un-schizo twin) point of view and about his struggle to protect his mother and brother and take care of his brother. its an incredible book, wally lamb has the ability to make you love and hate a character at the same time and that is how i've felt about Dominick throughout the entire book.

    he wrote another book She's Come Undone, that is also really great. i would recommend reading both, wally lamb is just an amazing author.

    I'm STILL[/b] reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" By Harper Lee. It's getting pretty interesting. I like it better now, but I still get slightly confussed.

    I'm going to start "Night" By Elie Wiesel soon, it's about the holocaust, another school book. I'm looking forward to it.
