A friend recommended that I read "Anthem" by Ayn Rand, so I intend on starting that shortly. I’ll probably start that today.
I’ve also wanted to read "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski, out of my curiosity and interest, but I can’t seem to find it. I have the book, but I’ve misplaced it unfortunately.

The Ballard of Lee Cotton.
I would recommend it to anyone – about a black boy born white into southern US in the 50′s – would love to tell you more as it really is a great book, however it would spoil it for those of you who wish to read it.

So far this year, unfortunately, I’ve only read Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho. I loved it! I’ve also read twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight was ok, but definitely not the best book. (I’ve read many books that are WAY better and a couple that a even worse.) New Moon was boring though. I have started reading Dracula by Bram Stoker, but haven’t had time to finish it yet due to school.
