Yesterday I read Grl2Grl by Julie Anne Peters. I absolutely LOVE this book. I also read Between Mom and Jo, I totally cried. It's by the same author.

Then I started Flowers for Algernon, one of my favorite books.

i just finished 'the long valley' by john steinbeck and 'the dream of scipio' by iain pears. i prefered the first one- it was my first steinbeck and i really liked some of the passages in the book. i plan to read 'of mice and men' next, although i know that's kind of cliche-y.

right now i'm reading a few books at the same time-
'if not now, when' by primo levi
'villette' by charlotte bronte
'the hidden life of otto frank' carol ann lee
'triumph of hope' ruth elias.
'le bonheur est dans le pre' pierre bonte

i plan to read 'the little friend' by donna tartt next and 'if this is a man & the truce' by primo levi next.

whew.

I finished Dune. The book was epic.

I need something else now.

The books in those series are so good, Steven King is my favourite author.

I'm going to read The Song Of Susannah next, I need to find it in English, I have it in Spanish, but I need it in English really..

I'm reading Dreamcatcher - Steven King at the moment, I've read it before but I'm reading it again xD

Whitechapel Gods by S. M. Peters.

It's a steampunk novel and that's a genre I haven't read before, even though I've always liked the general ideas of it. So far (almost halfway in) it's pretty good, though sometimes a big hard to follow. I'm willing to forgive the occasional mess though because I like the ideas presented in it.

I bet that Band of Brothers is gonna be an awesome book. If its one in the same with the Tom Hanks HBO Mini-Series thing, that is my All time favorite film hands down.

I'm splitting my time between Ben Hogans "Five Lessons" and the Second Book from Harvey Penick "And if you play golf you are my friend". Harvey Penick is if anything a great mind to get into. I've enjoyed his books so far.

I'm just over halfway through Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. I'm really like this book. I normally dont like biographies if there not about baseball, but this is a very good one. I've actually cried at many parts in the book. I would recommend it to anyone with a heart.
