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'm reading some crappy Historical fiction book called "Cold Sassy Tree" for summer reading.
It isn't interesting and the climax graph is completely out of whack.
It's bad.

I'm reading The Andromeda Strain. It's pretty interesting with a lot of technical stuff.

Even though it's fiction, it's written asthough it were a historical account.

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).

It goes in order:

Ender's Game
Ender's Shadow (Same time as Ender's Game)
Shadow of the Hedgemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
Ender in Exile
(first 3 chapters or so is before Shadow series, but rest is after them)
Speaker For the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the mind


Plus a new book has been announced that will go after the whole list.

I can't even remember if I read these before or not. I'll have to start buying the books themseves instead of relying on my school library. I've read the 1st and 2nd series, I didn't read some in The Power of Three. Boxed set would be nice.

Can't wait for The Fourth Apprentice!

EDIT: Redwall is also awesome, enjoy Emeror Empoleon or whatever your name is. The storyline is confusing as zelda, though, and that's saying something.

No way, that's the book I'm currently reading in English too! And I agree, the dialect is kinda hard to read. That's because it's supposed to be read as you would hear the words being spoken in real life. You know, slang pretty much. But don't worry, after the first 3 or 4 chapters, you get used to it. (I'm currently on chapter 4)

Isn't that the story by Maya Angelou with the lady Mrs. Flowers and how she's so wealthy and nice? We read it in class.

As for me, I'm reading even more Warriors: Power of Three. I just finished #5: Long Shadows and finishing up the epic climate with #6, Sunrise. Erin Hunter is awesome.

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.
