Thought this would be an interesting thread to start, assuming anybody on bbw is literate :dribble: Right now I'm reading Sun Tzu's art of war. Not because I like it, but because nearly any business job or internship wants you to have read it, so I might as well just in case that's the way I want to go in life.
Im re-reading Johnny Tremain. Its amateur, but I read it before, and didnt appreciate it. So I want to reread it and understand it.
I gotta read Don Quijote for when we come back from spring break...it's the short version, it has like 300 pages and I haven't started.
In english class, we're reading the Bible, as in literature. I myself just started getting a subscription to Newsweek magazine, so I've been reading them and they're really interesting
I like to read, but once Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter are done with I'd like to read some "grown-up" books so any suggestions would be nice.

I'm excited for it but afraid that it may be a disappointment like the Everworld series. There just seems like there's so much to do for just 1 book.
I don't read books alot either, but I read every day if you count magazines. I am currently reading this biography about Wilt Chamberlain. I like it alot, it's very interesting, and it has alot of interesting stories in it from other players and people who were around Wilt.

Right now im reading the Robin Hobb Liveship Traders series but I kinda got bored so im not reading nothing right now, as in books.
I'm reading <u>Hearts in Atlantis</u> by Stephen King too. I've read just about all his books, and I used to think he was just another popular horror writer, but after careful review, I can admit I was wrong. Dude is prolific and classic.I'm also rereading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I've read it twenty times and it hasn't gotten old. It's like a song I can listen to over and over. The difference between novels and literature is shelf life.
Shake Hands With the Devil. It's about the Rwandan Genocide.And it's for school but I chose it myself.
