Happily accepted. I read Animal Farm back in eigth grade. What did you think of it?

Late-ish. .3.;;

I really liked it; I did it for a school project a while ago. I'd already studied the Russian Revolution, so I made the connection before I even knew it was based off of that, so my teacher was very proud of me. XD;

YA is young adult right?

Alex Rider is a good series. And I'm sort of the same lately. Just don't have as much time.

[Whimsicotton]

I used to read a lot - now I'm waiting until I get a kindle because the books are half-price, so I think it's easier like that. That and it makes it harder to lose books.

Accepted. Despite my dislike, it may be completely unfounded but eh..., for Twilight I'd like to know what you think of the book series? I assume you think it's really good? What about the movies?

After we read the book the teacher had us do a mock trial where the farm animals where the prosecution, led by Snowball, and Napoleon, and his cronies, were the defendants. I played the role of Napoleon's lawyer. After a few days of trial the jury decided that Napoleon was innocent.

I was the only one out of all of the defense attorneys who proved Napoleon innocent of all crimes against the Farm.

Twilight, huh? I really enjoyed the books, the movies were kinda disappointing though.. but they were good too.

Username: FireTypeLover
Favorite Book(s): Inheritance Cycle, (too bad it's too similar to Star Wars plot-wise and it sometimes drags on too long) Harry Potter, Bartimaeus Trilogy, (Google it; my friend introduced the series to me) Percy Jackson series, (it got me interested about Greek mythology) Redwall, (by Redwall, I mean the first book in the series for that's the only one I've read so far) plus many more.
Favorite Author(s): Rick Riordan, J.K. Rowling, Christopher Paolini, etc.
Favorite Genre(s): I don't have any favorite genre; I just read whatever's good.
Favorite Manga: (Magical Pokemon mentioned this for reason, so I shall too) Soul Eater is the best manga I've ever read. That being said, I haven't read much manga. Pokémon Special and a little bit of Shaman King and Bleach are the only others I've read

I also want to point out that as soon as I finish rereading the Inheritance Cycle, I'll be starting the Hunger Games and I'll probably think it'll be one of the best series I've ever read. I hope the series doesn't disappoint me.

[Magical Pokemon]

What books do you guys want to read?

I want to read "The Last Unicorn " By: Peter S. Beagle.

Has anyone read it?

Edit:

I finished reading The Borrowers (book 1). Only 4 more to go! LOL I really enjoyed the first book. Although, the ending disappointed me a little - it hinted that something never actually existed.

Favorite genre: romance/ romantic comedy (manga/anime), adventure, paranormal, and fantasy

[Qymaen]

I've missed quite a bit. :S

Accepted. Is Redwall a good series? I heard it was.

What books do you guys want to read?

I'm over halfway through 1633, an alternate history novel that is part of the 1632 series (written by Eric Flint and other authors). Next I'm hoping to finish a few history books (non-fiction) that I've had for some time. After those, or I may switch the order around. *shrug*

Among the three history books, the first is James McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era. The second book is about the Thirty Years' War: Europe's Tragedy, written by Peter H. Wilson. The third book is about the early expansion of Islam. It's titled The Great Arab Conquests: How the Spread of Islam Changed the World We Live In and was written by Hugh Kennedy.

As for fiction I'd like to continue the 1632 series as well as continue reading the Crusader Trilogy, as I just finished the first book a couple of weeks ago. Then i've got to continue reading the Fate of the Jedi series as well as finish reading Harry Turtledoves' Colonization series and his Timeline-191 series. Then I've got find a new series of books to read.

I've got a helluva lot of reading to do.

[Elysian]

I wanna read the rest of the House of Night serie.
