at the moment, the rest of the books I got from the used book store and the books I got from the library. (Dean Koontz, Barbara Michaels, Titus Groan [doesn't sound good ], and a couple others) Then we'll go from there.

I want to read something that isn't over-advertised; over rated or hack

I want you to read "Atlas Shrugged" so you will understand where some of my reasoning comes from.

The Things They Carried From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Things They Carried is a collection of related vignettes by Tim O'Brien, about a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam War, originally published in hardcover by Houghton Mifflin, 1990. While apparently based on some of O'Brien's own experiences, the title page refers to the book as "a work of fiction." The story "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong" was made into a film in 1998, entitled A Soldier's Sweetheart and starring Kiefer Sutherland. There yee go. It says more about the book and the characters etc. here if you want it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Things_They_Carried

f you want to read something that isn't over-advertised or overrated, try The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess - one of the best books that I just randomly decided to pick up one day. And for chicks, another really good random read is The Linnet Bird by Linda Holeman. God, do I love those great random ones.
I've always wanted to read the Catcher in the Rye, but I've never gotten around to it. Same with the Perks of Being a Wallflower. I guess I need my fill of masculine teenage angst...

Hahah, I'll look for it, thankyee.
I started reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Borwn, which is all about the suffering of the Amerindians (I don't know why but I love this term XD I hate Red Indians and that though, but Amerindians just sounds cool to me) but then I ended up reading Che Guevara: Guerilla Warfare. Then put it down to re-read Prisoner of Askaban. Then started reading M*A*S*H by Richard Hooker which I seem to be sticking too. I often flit from book to book, it's not that I get fed up of them particular, but just that I suddenly think, ooh, I want to read this. NO, I want to read this etc etc.
I mean obviously I've read plenty of books all the way through but sometimes I just flit around before settling to something. I'm sitll halfway through Earthsea from about a year ago XD Hahah. I'm weird.
I guess it's just because I erad every night and sometimes I feel like something else because maybe the book is hard to get into or slow starting or I just suddenly decide I want to read something else XD I are weird.
