I've picked up The Lovely Bones three times, and couldn't read more than 10 pages. >_>; I guess it hasn't really caught my attention yet, but I currently don't have the book in my possession, so I can't read it... lol.

Anyway, we just finished Death of a Salesman in school. No one else seemed to like it, but I did. Our next book is The Things They Carried, I believe. smile.gif

So... I'm currently reading my biology textbook by Campbell/Reece. Great fun tongue.gif

I really want to read Catch-22. o_o Actually, there are a lot of books I want to read sleep.gif I'm trying to build up a list so once school ends I can go on a reading rampage, because I've only read one book outside of school in the past 3 years.
Anyone want to recommend me a Haruki Murakami book? :X

If you liked Death of a Salesman, you might want to try The Crucible, also by Miller.

As for Murakami... he can be an acquired taste for some. Dance Dance Dance, A Wild Sheep Chase, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle are wonderfully offbeat and quirky, you'll be in for quite a ride. Norwegian Wood and South of the Border, West of the Sun would be more intense, with a dose of romance thrown in.
