    For sci Fi fan: Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, although an incomplete series, it is very entertaining one. I start the Robots series but didnt enjoy it as much as the Foundation.

    For fantasy reader: my favorite one is from and old D&D serie (Birthright) and the book name is The Iron Throne from Simon Hawke. Now it is a hard book to be found.

    Classic reading: Les Trois Mousquetaires from Alex Dumas. Don Quichotte de la Mancha from Cervantes. But those are very long book.

    Kinda read a lot so hard to list them all ;)

    Finished "Saving Fish From Drowning". The middle parts were kind of draggy, and I thought there was a lot of needless repetition, but I do recall several clever moments and meaningful passages. Bibi's dark humor and wit provided some good laughs. [​IMG] Overall, a good book, but definitely not one of the best.

    Third book was a letdown for me. I enjoyed the first very much though.

    And now, I am currently reading Anna Karenina.
    It's a very light read actually, and I'm enjoying it very much [​IMG]

    ech, Da Vinci Code.. that was THE book to read.. too bad I couldn't read it..

    I couldn't push myself to get past the 4th chapter.. it was too boring at the beginning.. but that could also be cause I'm still stuck in the "easy" reading books.. but some classics I read and liked was Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, Tales of Huckleberry Finn, the Tom Sawyer one too.

    So far, I've been meaning to read Jane Eyre, Gulliver's Travels, Man from La Mancha and Eragon.<-- I was trying to finish it before the movie came out.. but it didn't work out for me..

    So far in class, I've been reading/read Night by Elie Wiesel, Things Fall Apart by Achebe, Julius Ceasar

    Haven't read Animal Farm or To Kill a Mockingbird yet, I think I'm reading them in my next year english class.

    And I read Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, but I had/have a hard time understanding it. So if anyone could help me out with that, that would be great.
