I am currently reading Golden Arches East for Social Anthropology, it about the diffusion of McDonald's in China and it is surprisingly interesting.

I'm reading Unseen Academicals by Terry Prachett. So far it's been a great read.

[quote=Shannara]I am currently reading Golden Arches East for Social Anthropology, it about the diffusion of McDonald's in China and it is surprisingly interesting.[/quote] That reminds me of Fast Food Nation! & Supersize Me as well. Currently starting to read Slaughterhouse 5 -- I'm sure it's a pretty well known book :)

[quote=heartlessness_][quote=Deidara]I have school today, (current time3:34 AM) and I have to read this book called the cay. Not my favorite book. Its set in World War two, I think. Its about this black dude and blind kid stranded on an island with a cat named SoupyDog. (What a stupid name for a cat.*lol* )[/quote] My teacher read that to my class in 5th grade. It was alright. I found my LOTR book (the second one) that has been missing for months and I'm back reading it.[/quote] I'm so glad she's not going to make me read the second book!

I just finished Evermore and Blue Moon, a series. I also finished I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You and Cross My Hearty and Hope to Spy for the second time. I'm a total book nerd, if given a whole day with a bunch of good books, I could probably read at least four in one day

I love Kurt Vonnegut. I just started reading Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged. I tried reading it before, but it's massive. - Kara

Priest Kings of Gor -- John Norman Pride and Prejudice -- Jane Austen Tsubasa: Those With Wings -- Natsuki Takaya Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West -- Gregory Maguire I read really, really fast.. so I have an upstairs book, a downstairs book, a car book and a traveling book. XD I like variety. -- Ninjas versus Pirates is a conspiracy theory to distract us from the real battle between Unicorns and Dragons. Ninjas and Dragons FTW.

Oh and for those of you like enjoy fantasy - I've been reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan for 10 years. The final books are coming out in the next couple of years (written by a close family friend - Robert Jordan passed away last year, but not before relaying the ending to his wife and brother). I've reread the series several times and I never get bored of them.

I may have to try starting over, I have no clue where I am, but I'd love to read the last one(s) when they come out.
