I am reading the book that I am writing! But I can't read the end yet till I'm done with it... :)

I'm also reading Sisters of the Sword by Maya Snow, about two sisters who pretend to be boys to get into a samurai school after their father and brothers are killed.

And I'm reading Massacre at Bad Axe which has firsthand accounts of the Black Hawk War.

That's a good one. I've always enjoyed Sherlock Holmes.

I'm reading 1,200 Words Every Educated Person Should Know. It will take me a while to get through it.

:P Thanks, PF. Now cease your jejune garrulity! (a demonstration of some of my new vocabulary, not to be taken literally, of course)

O.o You've never read Narnia? You'll enjoy it. Dragons in our Midst is also good. I should read them again.

I have not. Though I am going to.

Also, I think Juvenile Delinquent affairs suits PF's behavior just as nicely. ;]

Some of those are quite lovely children's books, I<3 Wooton.
Frog Face, I'm so excited. Were you getting them for an Bday present or something? The first book is so gripping and charming. Ahhh, where it all starts. You are about to witness the first DIOM book for the first time. Ah, how I envy you, fellow traveler and adventurer. Did I get carried away? Nah.
Oh, and congratulations on reading Narnia for the first time round. Have you had a chance to start?

Thr3e by Ted Dekker--good so far though it's been interrupted by a Lemony Snicket book from the library.

Percy Jackson is amazing! I am reading just random fantasy fiction stuff that I find at the library. I'm supposed to read Born Again over Christmas break, but I haven't started it yet.
