So, ever since Saturday, I've been reading like mad.
On Sunday, I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. And right after that, I started Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I finished that right before I went to sleep. My mom thinks I'm crazy for finishing the books really fast, but I just couldn't put them down.
Now, I'm reading Hardball by Chris Matthews. Who knew that a book about politics could ever be so interesting? I'm not really into that, I guess.

I've been wanting to read Kafka On the Shore for quite a while now. I finished Murakami's After Dark, a few weeks ago. I definitely recommend it!

For School:
1984 by George Orwell
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
The Bell Jar was interesting, it reminded me of Girl, Interupted. Its cool they both are a memoir or whatever.
Uh, 1984 doesn't make sense at all to me. Its so boring. All I see when I look at the page is Blah Blah Blah. I skim read it.
Fun Reading:
The Secret Life of It Girls by Dakota Lane
Its really interesting, its written on photographs and stuff like that. Its not what I expected.
Cupcake by Rachel Cohn
If you haven't read the Gingerbread trilogy you need to. Its really great.

Quoted for justice.
I have most of his books, both in English and Japanese, although my kanji skills are horrid. Still reading After Dark, which I don't particularly like. His style's a lot different in Kafka and here, and I'm trying to break the mold and get used to it.
Recently finished: Underground (nonfiction), his cover on the victims of the 1995 sarin gas attack . One of the best nonfictions I've ever read.
Reading:
Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson
What is the What, Dave Eggers
Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut.
