Leisurely I'm reading "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. I think it's a really great book and one of the classics. Academically I'm reading "Call of the Wild" by Jack Lodon, for Adv Comp. I've already read it before so really I just have to brush up with spark notes

I've read The Fountainhead, good book!
I'm currently reading What to Expect During the First Year. It talks about what to expect of infants from birth to 1 year old. It is proving to be very helpful since I am a first time mommy.

Doesn't alot of those baby books contradict one another?
Three books at the moment~

To my class: Skippyjon Jones and Mummy Trouble by Judy Schachner
To myself: Temporary Insanity by Leslie Carrol
In the car on CD: The Starter Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer
 
I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife, which I've read before, and now I'm looking for something to read next.
 
I heard "The Starter Wife", is being turned into a TV series starring Debra Messing this summer. Anyways, it's good to see people still read. 🙂
 
I'm reading "Les métamorphoses de la question sociale"by Robert Castel and "Doggy Bag" by philippe Djian
 
I'm stockpiling paperbacks at the moment to take on holiday but I've just finished Haunted by Kelley Armstrong.
 
I'm reading several books for my thesis right now:

Pink samurai: an erotic exploration of Japanese society
by Nicolas Bornhoff and Love in modern Japan, its estrangement from self sex and society by Sonia Ryang (which I hope to finish today so I can get started on The anatomy of self: the individual versus society by Takeo Doi. Interesting huh?

and for me (although I don't have the time to read a whole lot just for me right now) I'm in the middle of the first book of the Rose of the Prophet series by Weis & Hickman: The Will of the Wanderer
 
good stuff those^^^

I'm reading Thud by Terry Prachett and the Clockwise men by Justin Richards, it is a Ninth Dr book, and i must get a move on and finish, because i'm also reading Tom Bakers autobiography, which is laugh out loud funny
 
I'm reading "Eragon" and "Eldest" by Christopher Poalini just because I love dragons; I wasn't expecting to get into the books.
 
I'm re-reading Mythology by Edith Hamilton.

I loved Mythology. We read it early this semester in my British Lit. class. It read surprisingly well for just a bunch of stories. I couldn't really put it down.

I just recently finished Wuthering Heights. Didn't really enjoy it too much, but it wasn't horrible.

I think I'm going to start reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo soon, though. It's huge, but I'll have all summer to myself.
 
I'm currently reading What to Expect During the First Year. It talks about what to expect of infants from birth to 1 year old. It is proving to be very helpful since I am a first time mommy.

My sister is pregnant (with her first child) and she bought ALL these baby books, including all those "What to expect" books. Are they any good? She hasnt read any yet since she just got them.

As for me, Im re reading the Harry potter books in anticipation of the last Harry potter book to be released in July.

Yes! I have found them to be very helpful.
I'm reading I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan and Dracula by Bram Stroker. I love thriller books, but I can't really say anything about Dracula yet. Just started it... 🙂
 
I'm trying to decide whether or not to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire, knowing full well that if I become obsessed with it (likely), I'd have to devote the rest of the year to finish all the other books, and that I'd be spoiling me a potentially fantastic future HBO series (I'm a sucka for HBO stuff).
I still have to finish Mort by Terry Pratchett and I want to read some Burroughs first anyhow.

i dunno yet, only read 1rs chapter yet, though it obvious a novel, it's still a bit fun for a psych major to read thsi AU whereBreuer met Nietzche and Lou Salome lol
I'm reading Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison and Burnt offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton. I read both before, but they are good so I am rereading both the Anita Blake series and the Rachel Morgan in waiting of the new books to arrive at my door step...
