    I have several books going on at the moment... just finished the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver for AP lit, about to read La Casa de Bernada Alba by Lorca (<3) and am reading for myself Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

    "One Life at a Time, Please" - Edward Abby

    "Kon Tiki" - Thor Heyerdahl

    They are both pretty good books so far.

    im reading "What did i do?", an autobiography of Larry Rivers, who was a beat painter. he worked with all the great beat writers, doing illustrations and book covers for their works. the guy is insane. i suggest people check out some of his art--his personal life was even more ridiculous.

    "Effi Briest" (Theodor Fontane) and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" for school,
    and "privately" I've just finished "The boy on the black horse" by Nancy Springer (I reread it because I meant to release it (bookcrossing) and was surprised how much I liked it, it's not a typical "horse story", like the title suggests. Not a "book that changed my life" kind of thing either, but still quite good.)
    Haven't decided which one I'll read next yet.
    Anything you'd recommend?
