Yay books! Which ones are you reading? Right now? Well um, for me... none. At the moment though, I'm going to read The Princess Bride. Also just discuss books, and someone can post "I HAVE NOTHING TO READ!!" And you guys could suggest some good books and stuff ^_^

P&P rocks, though I didn't dig Sense and Sensibility for some reason, even though Alan Rickman's in the movie. o.O
I'm about to read the new Sisterhood of Travelling Pants book. Other than that I have nothing else to report or recommend, sowwies...

*pats and exalts* I hate textbooks and schoolwork and the whole thing in general. It is an insult to the magic and wonder of learning and reading.

Oh, he's very popular, that's for sure, so one would hope that indicates his books are good. My mother says they're really scary though.

*has to read that soon for English Lit*
I hate HBP first and foremost for killing Dumbles and also making Mrs. Weasley really pathetic.

I hate HBP because it reads like a bad fanfiction. I used to be a Ron/Lavender shipper and when they got together, I went berserk. In a bad way. It was badly written and just.. ugh.
And plenty of R/Hr shippers hate it too, y'know.

"We have a tiara in the family..." *throws up*
And Laura's right. It does read like bad fanfiction.

Well poorly (use proper English before slamming the writing of others hehe) written is pure opinion. I, personally, don't think it was all that bad.

Well, I just remember feeling somewhat disappointed. It seems to get more intense and wonderful with each book, but it just kind of fell flat for me with HBP. And then Dumbledore dying and Harry's lion-in-chest-roaring for Ginny was just a big fat glomp of icing on the cake...
