What good books have people read recently? I think it'd be cool if we shared that stuff, almost like a cyber book club. I'll start.
I just finished this amazing book called "A Million Little Pieces." Its by a guy named James Frey who is a drug addict and alcholic and its the story of his time in rehab. Its mostly a true story, and it's one of those books that you dont put down the whole time your reading it. I thought it was a very good book, even if you don't find it "inspiring" or watever, and I suggest you all read it. If you're not living on the edge, your taking up too much space.

I don't read as much as I'd like, but I'm currently reading "The Zahir" by Paolo Coelho, which is fantastic so far!
I love all of his books.

I'm reading a crazy book called 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' which is about this 84-year-old Ukranian immigrant who has lived in England since the war. After his wife dies, this thirty-year-old modern Ukranian immigrant tries to marry him so she can get a British passport. It's really funny.
I've also just read a book called 'The Line of Beauty' (Alan Holinghurst), about a gay guy living in London in the '80s. It talks about the issues of the time (AIDS, Thatcherism) - it's quite interesting, maybe slightly deep...

Im reading Dostoyevsky's crime and punishment at the moment. I always thought that it would be one of those books which i would struggle to get through but its gripped me all the way and has been hard to put down. For a bit of light relief im also reading Robert Rankin. If your looking for a seriously funny book they definately buy one of his.

I know, wasn’t that such a journey? There is another book written by the same author which is fantastic
Its called " one fish two fish, red fish blue fish " and does an amazing job at calling to attention the alarming rate of the deterioration of modesty and integrity in today's youth as well as the overwhelming sense of apathy which has laid so viscously upon, and hinders, the later generations in educating there off spring in the traditionalist values which governed the last century.
great read : ) We'll stop to rest on the moon, and we'll make fire

I'm reading A Separate Peace solely because my middle school was the only one on the East Coast that didn't make it a required reading assignment. I thought maybe I'd missed out, and I did.
