So I had to login for this...
University sucks because it doesn't give you time to read.
Definately used to be something I enjoyed in the past.

So books:
Lord of the Rings - read it in junior high/grade 6ish(because I read the hobbit in g6 and LOVED it) and found it really tough..however definately one of my favourite trilogies

1984 - great book...made me want to read "Animal Farm" but never got around to it(University)

My all time favourite book..read it in Junior High and loved it(my mom bought it for me from the 25c bin at the library)..is
Heart of a Champion - Carl Deuker
I think I just fully related to the characters in this book(especially during that junior high period)

Andromeda Strain(I dont remember this one, but I know that I thoroughly enjoyed it and it made me a Michael Creighton fan)

And who can forget Harry Potter, The Hardy Boys, and The Bobsey Twins (I was really young...I promise)

Books I want to read:
When you hear hoofbeats think of a zebra - Shems Friedlander
Animal Farm
Rumi's writings - One of he best known poets ever
The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie (Heard this isn't the greatest book...but I want to see what the fuss is all about and why this book caused the guy to be a marked man by some of the extremists in this world)
edit: have to add Kite Runner to this list as I've heard AMAZING reviews

I know I have a bunch more that I wanted to read, but I've forgotten them..

If anyone's read any of those...let me know!
