Whether you read it for fun or for school, what are you reading right now?
I am reading Hello Kitty must die which is the weirdest title I ever read. The story is about a 28 year old chinese woman who looks well educated and well-mannered on the outside and compares to Hello Kitty as sweet and innocent. On the inside, she has a mind like a serial killer. She has a friend that was a serial killer and adapt some of his behaviors. The book has dark humor and it was funny at the beginning but it gets boring in the middle and it starts to get repetitive.
Rereading A Wrinkle in Time which I enjoy because this book makes you think. Is there's such thing as perfect society? What would it cost to run a perfect society? I remember reading it the first time in 5th grade and I like it though there are parts I didn't understand until I reread again. This book reminds me of The Giver which has the same concept of society being the same and people willing to never change.
I am currently reading Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. I read one of her other books (The Reformed Vampire Support Group, to be exact) and it was really good. I love evil genius even though there are some things that don't make much sense (like a school for evil people that's been around for 5 years that no one has seemed to notice).
Currently reading The Hot Zone which is a nonfiction thriller. It's about a fatal disease that is very infectious to humans origined in Africa which to the point appeared somewhere in Virginia. The book scared the daylights out of me and it has rather disturbing and graphic scenes.
I am reading...
The Red Pyramid
by Rick Riordan (the same guy who wrote the Percy Jackson series_
2 – Shadow, SpikyEaredPichu96Just finishing Silent Boy which is a simple story but it's enjoyable for me. I can related to the characters in the story and the boy reminds me of my sister. What's odd is this is the first book I read for fun since the school year starts. I guess I was too busy to read for fun and I lost interest. But I am slowly interested in books again for fun.

I tried to get all of them, but I couldn't figure out the continuity. I'll have to try later.

2 – Shiny, DashArmyHaven't read books for awhile due to schoolwork and exams coming up in April. For my leisure, I am reading I know why the Caged Bird Sings. I like exploring other cultures and their traditions outside of my culture because it gives me a new view from a different race.

I'm reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistriss by Robert Heinlein for my Political Science Fiction class, and I really like it so far. The narrator speaks with broken english, where he drops unnecessary words...such as pro-nouns or things like "it" or "is".
For example: Book by Robert Heinlein very good. I enjoy story.
Anyway, it's really good so far. It's got an AI and colonies on the moon.
