What Are You Reading?

I want to date Jace...

OMG I totally know what you mean. I like just finished it a couple minutes ago and that ending sure was something. The whole last section I was going Oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD!! i couldn't stand it. so now I am about to start the city of Ashes...

don't say anything, I have yet to obtain it!

But I can't wait to read it...

jace....

My lips are sealed.

thanks hun!

No problem, I haven't gotten that far into it yet cause I really should be doing my homework, but I am being bad.

me too.

sort of.

I should have been reading the first 2 scenes of Antigone and 2 poems, but I was on here instead.

but I read them, so now I am okay.

Antigone, eh? That's from the Oedipus Cycle? We had to read Oedipus Rex last year. I thought it was one of the better things we read and I wrote a really cool essay on it about fate. I actually had a lot of fun with that.

Yup, Antigone was one of Oedipus' "damned children".

All those stories back then (Greek times) make me so mad just because the people in the stories seem so...stupid!

FOR EXAMPLE:

Romeo and Juliet: if they both calmed down, and didn't freak out, they would have lived happily ever after. BUT Romeo kills himself without thinking the whole thing out. Then Juliet wakes up and bam. She kills herself since Romeo is dead. Grr.

Antigone: She goes into the cave and kills herself. If she would have waited she wouldn't have hung herself, Hamion (her lover) would have found her and Creon, Hamions dad and the king of Thebes, would have released her.

stupid greeks.

the tragedies are pretty awful that way. We had a sub one time while we were reading Romeo and Juliet, and he kept going on about how stupid it was which was funny because our regular teacher had been going on about how it was a work of genius.

Anyway now I have finished City of Ashes and am about to start Brisingr.

both of which I have to read...

I have started Nineteen Minutes, another by Jodi Piccult

hmmm. I've never heard of that. Is it any good?

I haven't had any time to really read it, but so far so good.

So I haven't been on in awhile so I've read Untamed (loved it!), finished Brisingr, and read Cybelle's Secret. It was the sequel to wildwood dancing which I liked but this one was way better. It had the whole Sinbad thing going but only sort of. I highly recommend it. So now I am reading The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau because I saw City of Ember on Friday.

my sister LOVED City of Ember.

isn't that going to be a movie?

Yeah, I just saw it. It was actually pretty good. As far as I remember it wasn't to far from the book but I read it awhile ago so I'm not sure.

HOLD UP.

It already came out?

woah

yeah, about a week ago now. so I just finished the prophet of Yonwood and I am goin to get the fourth one ASAP. In the mean time I am reading the Auto Biography of Frederick Douglass for school which in comparison with some other things isn't too bad.

As of right now, I am reading Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr...

-off to read!-

Oh, I really liked that book and Ink Exchange. Right now I am reading Rumors, The Watchmen and Inkdeath sorta all at once. Oh! and I've decided to write a book too. I have been working on it for about a week now and I am really excited about it.

I am almost done with Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead


I heart Dimitri

I have that book and I plan on reading it soon. My sister is reading it right now which is making sorta of nervous cuz she is my little sister and I didn't read it first to make sure it was appropriate for her.

there is just one part that could be considered risque, so don't worry too much about it

Ok, that's good. I don't remember if you had said you read chosen (house of Night) and I was worried that it might be sorta like that.

Yeah, I read it...

but I didn't like it very much.

Did you read it?

It was so boring for the entire book, minus the last 20 pages.

sheesh.

I hate books like that.
