Just bought this last night at barnes and noble for 7 dollars:

Its a collection of Shakespears Sonnets.

It has the original sonnet on the left side
And on the right side it has it translated into modern day english.


Gotta love sparknotes ^_^

Im a sucker for romance mystery novels. The plum series by Janet Evanovich is a favorite. Start with "one for the money".

My aunt just gave me a bunch of Janet Evanovich books the other day. Haven't read them yet, but I plan too once I get a little more time.

Speaking of Terry Brooks, I recommend the Magic Kingdom of Landover series, especially the first three.

Also:

*Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami

* Watership Down by Richard Adams

* Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

* Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton

* Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Iris Johanssen books

"A Child Called "it"".......I'm not a cryer, but I cried through most of it. It's an autobiography by Jeff Pelzer who went through unimaginable abuse by his mother. He tells it in the language and wording of him as a young boy.

Really? I found The Metamorphosis and The Trial to be rather dry. Of course, that could be because I read them in a book of Kafka's short stories, most of which are incomplete but were published anyway

Running Out of Time, by Joan Lowry Nixon, and Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I haven't read either since I was 14, but they stuck with me, so they must have been good.

Definitley read The Green Mile, by Stephen King. It's not like his other works, which are mostly horror. I teared up at the end of the movie, but I bawled at the end of the book.
