I read Running Out of Time too! I think it was like in third or fourth grade. I had completely forgotten about it but yea, that was a good book.
I finishe the two books I listed and I'm now reading the sequel to Sister of My Heart. It's really good and I'm getting wrapped up in that book.

After finishing Stargirl I just read Sellevision by Augusten Burroughs. I really liked it. It was a bit different than I expected, perhaps a bit more explicit, but it was quite entertaining, and I think Burroughs is a pretty good writer. I thought his autobiographical book Running with Scissors was unbelievable, partly because it was hard to believe that all that could really happen and partly because it was so....wild. I'll be trying to get my hands on one of his other books soon.
Just started Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. It's okay so far. I just about totally agreed with his essay on the John Cusack/Lloyd Dobler stereotype of true love/romance and how it's all fictional and not really attainable, but the essay on the casts of The Real World wasn't too exciting. We'll see how the rest goes.

Well recently I've read Monstrous Regiment byt Terry Pratchett, and I've re-read Philosipher's Stone. I've really fallen in love with Terry Pratchett's work. e's a crack up. And Vimes has got to be one of the coolest characters ever.

I saw Monstrous Regiment on Amazon when I was looking up some stuff for a project. It sounds like a great book!
I started re-reading POA yesterday.

I have finished reading POA and now I've started a sort of collection in the Sherlock Holmes book called the Adventurs of Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah, I saw a review of it on Amazon. Personally, it is not my fav. kind of book, because it's on real life stuff. I don't like biographes and diaries much. Maybe I need to grow up a bit more to appreciate them. Dunno.

Ibs- Isn't A. Burroughs great? My mum introduced me to him. Dry was probably my favourite. I still need to check out Sellovision.
I just finished Mort by Terry Pratchett, now I'm reading another Discworld book called Lords and Ladies, The Dark Half by Stephen King, Topaz by Leon Uris and The Pelican Brief by John Grisham.
