The Anime Trivia Quizbook - Vol. 2
The only thing is, the book's from 2000, so it's mostly questions on NGE and Urusei Yatsura...not that there's anything wrong with that. I just don't know the answers. ^^;;;

As of now, I'm reading The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'll also be picking up Tsubasa 3 and DN Angel 5.

Crazy English by Richard Lederer.
I did not intend to read this, but I read enough chapters out of interest that I determined I may as well read the entire book. It is a very interesting look at all the bizarre qualities of the English language, written by someone who obviously knows it extremely well. If you're an amateur philiologist, I'd highly recommend it.

Nicolae, the third book in the Left Behind series. I'm way late in reading this series, but I'm really enjoying them so far.

This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti. I've been hearing good things about this author for quite a while.. this is the first book of his I got around to reading.

I am in process of reading How to Love People You Don't Like by Floyd McClung. It's a decent book, but I haven't gotten any breakthroughs from it or anything...
I recently read Love, Sex, and Relationships by Dean Sherman. It has helped me a lot, so when I decide I need a change, I'll read exerpts from that book again.
I just checked out the first 4 Harry Potter books, so I can read PS and CoS properly... I listened to 3/4 of PS and almost none of CoS. I'd really love to rearead PoA and GoF as well... Since the next book is coming out this summer, I'd like to refresh my memory on the series before I get to HBP... I figure now is the time to do it, since my interest in reading has been rekindled...

I'm reading several things at the moment:
"The Etched City" by K.J. Bishop
also "Neural Engineering: Computation, Representation and Dynamics in Neurobiological Systems"

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I'll get into it more in depth fairly quickly, I hope. We'll see if I enjoy this book; I have basically no preconceived notions about it whatsoever.

I'm a few hundred pages into The Faerie Queene, by Edmund Spencer. It's good poetry and the allegory is interesting, but I'm unlikely to finish it anytime soon since I will have reading for classes starting next week.
Let others believe in the God who brings men to trial and judges them. I shall cling to the God who resurrects the dead.

The original Jungle Books. I'm on volume one right now. At first I'm like "Great talking animals..." but it's nothing like Disney's version. Very smart story telling.

Yeah, Kipling is pretty good. I'm reading Eragon at the moment, that book by that 17 year old). Its pretty good and that's saying something for me as I'm sick of most run of the mill fantasy types. It seems to be influenced by Anne McAffrey and Tolkien and maybe even Star Wars. But unlike McAffrey's books that I've read its an interesting read. There are noticeable errors in grammar and sentence structure but pretty good for his age. And he's had his book published, more than most of us could say.

I tried reading Eragon, but stopped about half-way through. It was a little too generic for my tastes, and I didn't see anything I hadn't already seen before. Though, like you noted, Warrior 4 Jesus, it kicks butt considering he was so young when he wrote it. *heh*
>>>Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen<<<
Just out of curiosity, was it assigned reading, UC? I know it's required reading for some of my school's AP classes.
I just finished re-reading "The Horse and His Boy", by C.S. Lewis. I know the Chronicles of Narnia were written for children, but still... They never get old.

Indeed, it is assigned. I have not yet begun it, but I am now negatively inclined toward the book, primarily because the reviews of several critics are required reading prior to the actual book, and reading the opinions of critics often annoys me.

How true. I read them at least once a year. I always enjoy them a little bit more each time.
