Okay, so I'm not into reading anything new, yet. I have to read A Christmas Carol for English class, and I'm nearly finished with that! It's boring me... Perhaps because its the same story you always here, or maybe I don't like Dickens? I dislike how he comes right out and talks to the reader as if he's sitting next to you, it just really throws you off!

I'm still half way through Lolita (140 of a grad 309) but I'm hoping to go on a book rampage soon. I just received my copy of Ada or Ardor also by Nabokov today. (It came all the way from AU!) so that will be next on my list.

I got a very generous $50 borders gift card from my father and I'm hoping to pick out a lot of things that I haven't read. I still need to take my books back to the library, I probably owe them so much by now, I still have Faust and The Brothers Karamazov! I need to take them back....

But, I haven't finished anything.

Oh! Since I started this mid year, it doesn't count now, but I'm going to try and read as MANY books as I can over the year. Currently, my goal is 50, then when I reach 50, it will be 100, then from 100 to 150. We'll see how far I get, huh? And thats any book, for school or for enjoyment. This'll be fun! So, if you ever have any suggestions for me it'd be great! Give me more to do.

I'm not sure whats on my up and coming list for the year. I want to read some Shakespeare, so I'll be getting my hands on that. Old stuff, and the like. Maybe some new stuff. What ever sounds appealing. I need to clean my room though, give myself more room to read in the first place! I'll be seeing you all at the end of my next book!!
