    Still waiting on A Memory of Light.


    Do you know how many books are left in the Wheel of Time/A Memory of Light series? I haven't actually read the series, I just want to know so he can continue the Stormlight Archive series :p

    ^I Read that less than a month ago and it's such a great satire with deep implications and thoughts, enjoy every witty remark by Curt Vonnegut.

    I'm reading both Harry Potter: the Philosophy and Lord of the Rings: Two Towers now.

    My god, I'm reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's an extremely dark first person story of the struggles of an orphan boy. So far it's amazing. I can't wait to keep reading.

    Bad, great, meh

    So many better books than the ones they have you read in high school. Hopefully your school makes you guys read Kite Runner and Native Son. Those two, and Night, are the only good books I read in high school. Lord of the Flies was pretty good too.

    I got the textbook Film Art and I'm pretty sure I'll end up reading the whole thing before class even starts

    Read The Things They Carried and The Namesake for summer reading, AP IV. First one was outstanding. Second, not so much.
