Just got 'Homocide' by David Simon. Looks thick as fukk, going to take me forever and a day to read this with all the reading material I have yet to read for my uni work. SMH
Still haven't started it. Probably start during the Christmas break. :laugh:
I began reading the Malcolm X autobiography on Wednesday and I'm nearly done, will probably finish either tonight or tomorrow morning. I can't even begin to describe how great this book is.
Just started "The Wednesday Letters"
Just finished this and it was really good. I'm starting "The Kite Runner" now. I know, I'm late.

I just finished "The Kite Runner" and now I'm all out of new books! Need to hit the store/library...in the meantime I think I'm going to re-read Kindred by Octavia E Butler.

A Pocket Guide to the Stars and Planets by Duncan John
i'm reading The Hunger Games and Breaking Dawn and about to start Battle Royale
The Hunger Games is about a tournament kids are forced to fight in held in a post-apocalyptic United States.
Breaking Dawn is the last of the Twilight Series. at this point i'm reading it because i read the other books in the series but i'm not really feeling it. too much bullshyt and romance and not enough action.
Battle Royale like The Hunger Games is a tournament youth are forced to fight in but in that one they wear explosive collars that blow them up when they break any rules and they're trapped on an Island.

I am currently reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
continuing with the theme i got going right now from Twilight i'm reading the House of Night series and am like half way through book 4. less action than even Twilight had and just like Twilight it also has a sh1tty main character but some of the other characters like the villain and the rival type character make it interesting.
