I think Screwtape latters are hilarious... and scary at the same time. I recognised many situations from my own life and I was like.. wow.. so that's what it was.

Grief observed is the last Lewis' book, actually it's his diary that he wrote after his wife's death where he questions the nature of God. He published it while he was alive but under a different name as he wasn't sure how Christians whould take his doubts about God. A great book and again I recognise myself in it.

The Triumph of Sam Cooke, Dream Boogie by Peter Guralnick..... Pretty interesting book!

I'm about to start Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) by Ann-Marie MacDonald. I love the idea of a comedy based on tragedy.

I just finished reading Jane Eyre for school. At first it's not that interesting but it picks up after awhile. Over all it's a pretty good book although I probably won't read it again any time soon.
I got the Bartimaeus Trilogy for Christmas. I've only been able to read a few pages but it sounds like something I would enjoy.

I'm currently reading "A million little pieces" by James Frey. Why? Because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It is a pretty good book so far, but I agree with Oprah, it should not have been labeled a memoir, since so much of it was exaggerated as well as twisted.

I'm gonna start "Catcher in the Rye" for school. Is it a good book? Just wondering what you people thought about it... I hear it's good, but hard to read.
