I'm overly critical/picky when it comes to literature. It's hard for me to actually get throubh books most of the time. Lately all I've read is Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I'm on "Hot Six" and can hardly put them down. They just get better and better. They're all brilliantly funny.

When I was little my dad read me the Lloyd Alexander 5 book series about Tarran. Those were brilliant. I've always meant to reread them. He also read me Lord of the Rings. xd Then Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon. Trixie was better in my opinion.

Tamora Pierce is brilliant. I read her Song of the Lioness quartet in grade 10. It had such magic to it. I bought her Protector of the Small quartet and never read it. I should be shot for that.

I think Romeo and Juliet is overrated rubbish. xp First I'm not one for romance, and then after seeing the version with Leo Dicaprio I've despised it. Hamlet was amazing though. I love Shakespeare's comedies and wish they'd teach those in school instead of his tragedies. I didn't mind MacBeth either. I found Antony and Cleopatra to be kind of dry.

Now, some works I'd recamend. whee

+ "Treasure Island" by Louis Stevenson. The language isn't that bad and I found that the story only dragged for a one page span where Stevenson discussed water and wind conditions. Lovely story of adventure.
+ "The Princess Bride" by S. Morgenstern. I read the abridged version and would love to read the full. Though if you read the full be prepared to flip a bit... It's perhaps more amazing than the movie. Plus it includes the Zoo, which was excluded from the film.
+"Geography Club" followed by "The Order of the Poison Oak", by Brent Hartinger. These are two novels I consider must reads for anyone interested in gay fiction. It was just fabulous. I could find no flaws. Once I sat down with Geography Club I hardly left it alone. Didn't get a lot of sleep that night.
+ If you're in to vampire novels I'd recamend checking out Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Her books are geared to a [younger] teen audience, but when I read them back in grade 7 I was instantly in love. Still am. Wasn't very impressed by Hawksong and Snakecharm. Shapeshifters just didn't do it for me I guess. She wrote "In the Forests of the Night" when she was 13 though. o.o It really inspired me actually...

I should shut up now because I babble too much.

A Catcher in the Rye is terrific, and I want very much to read The Collector. A thing for serial killers? Who, me? ninja
