Back to school means reading for class... I'm starting Romeo and Juliet again. But that's ok, because its my favourite Shakespeare play.

I agree... it is his best play.... I also love Macbeth... I guess that is another "book" I have read at school and loved, however, I do not really consider it a book since it is a scripture to a play, but I guess that is how most people read it...

One book I have read and re-read over and over since seventh grade is the book Go Ask Alice, it is my all time favorite book.... I used to give it more credit because I thought it was an actual real diary like the cover says it is, being written by Anonymous, and everything. But then I found out it was really written by a middle aged woman psychiatrist, and that sort of threw me off a lot... but I still love it.

Omg I love Go Ask Alice, I've read it a million times. Have you read any other books that are anonymous, such as It Happened To Nancy? That ones about a girl who gets AIDS. I cried in that one.

Well, we finished reading "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansbury a few days ago.

As for my own personal reading, I dropped "Crime & Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It was kind of boring. So I'm rereading George Orwell's "Animal Farm". I LOVE that book.

Oh, and Animal Farm is a great book!

I love that book! I read it a couple years ago and a few times since. My favourite line in it is, "That's why they call it a dream, because it'll never be a reality." (Or something close to that). It's such a good book.

Even though I never finished "The Magician's Nephew", I'm starting a different book for an book essay contest that my english teacher presented us with (she always gets contests from book publishing companys in the mail). The top cash prize is $2000! Why pass that opportunity up

?

The book we have to write an essay on is "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. So far I'm only up to the first page, lol. She said it's like "The Giver" by Lois Lowry (which I read in 7th grade and was awesome, btw, even though I bet I wouldn't have been able to understand it if my english teacher hadn't explained it to us). Yeah, I'm gonna give it a shot. Hopefully I'll get some cash prize since their are several.

Indeed it is! That's one of my fave quotes too..

Have you ever read, 'TTYL'? its all in IM form. Perfect for us people that spend so much time on Aim...

I'm reading Whispers from the Past (a Charmed book), and Writing the Siege of Leningrad by Cynthia Simmons and Nina Perlina.

The second one's interesting indeed, there are LOADS of diary entries, letters, etc in there, written by women who were there... I haven't read much of it though, things like that take me a long time to read.
