Well?

I just finished "With Hostile Intent" by Robert Gandt. Good novel about Super Hornet drivers and there's a bunch of characters and plot twists. And I just started Clear and Present Danger by Tom Clancy.

Well, not really a book, but I just finished reading the script on the first episode of Stargate Destiny. Took me two days to read a script on an episode that lasts for about 45 minutes [commercials not included]. Roll Eyes

One of these days, I hope to finish reading "The Giver" and "1984".

I'm in kind of a reading slump at the moment. Can't keep my mind on a story long enough to get interested in a book right now. But I tryed to start reading the new one from Michael Crichton entitled State of Fear. It seemed really good, but like I said, I can't really read right now.

Currently reading for english class. Night...by Elie Wiesel.

Not to far in due to keeping with the class, but interesting Wink

Favorites though were the Left Behind series. Not a religious person really, but is definatly one of the best series I've ever read. I liked how the story just kept moving and each book picked up right where the other left off
