I am reading a novel called The Information by Martin Amis. This novel was published about ten years ago, and it follows the travails of a great but chronically, and spectacularly, unsuccessful writer who is forced to deal with the literary fame and raging success of his best friend, who is an admitted hack and whose good luck never seems to run out.

This success of his compadre, who is really his adversary, is slowly killing Richard Tull, and he needs to do something about it before there is no option left but to concede defeat and quit writing.

This novel is so funny that last night I rolled off my sofa laughing.The Information

I am reading a non-fiction book called Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life by Nick Lane.

I am enjoying this book so far, mainly due to it's highly academic language and scientific thought. The book is about how mitochondria evolved in eukaryotic cells and affect our lives every day. So far, it has taught me more about mitochondria and their biology than anything else thus far. I picked this book because of my interest in cells and microbiology.
I would recommend this book to any individual in search of a more solid answer to how life begun, and evolved, on our planet.

I am reading a fiction book called Clean by: Amy Reed.

I really like my book so far because it keeps me interested even though it might not be the most appropriate book. Another reason why I like the book is that I can resemble so of the characters in my book to friends that I have in real life, and I find that pretty cool. I picked this book because it was a teen drama which I find interesting because I really like when the main character learns the moral and fixes everything. I would recomend this book to someone who needs a nice "on your toes" drama book.

I'm reading multiple books but the main book I'm reading now isBanquet of the Golden WitchBy 07th Expansion and Ryukishi07.

I am enjoying this book very much, It's able to explain every characters story in this book well and the events that are happening are very creative and cool. In the book Eva Ushiromiya's second personality now known as The Golden Witch Beatrice has found the family's hidden gold and stopped the Sacrifice Ceremony from the Old Beatrice but decides to restart it out of pure boredom. Now the family has to survive the night so they can escape the remote island. The book shows how people can break down and show how accepting people can become, also how cruel someone with power can get. The book also shows that, its not possible to always have a happy ending.

I am reading a novel called the 39 clues.



I am enjoying this book so far. This book has multiple series. This book is very interesting because the main characters in the book must find clues to acomplish their mission that there going for. When they find one clue that clue must lead them to the next thats how it goes on. Sometimes they might get cought in battles that they must defeat to move on foward. I have read the first book but since i havent read this book for a longtimes im startin from book 1 again to refresh my memory.

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I am currently very much enjoying this book so far yet I still havent found why this is such a well known book. I am barely 25% done so it will be some time I am assuming. Until then I am really liking the author's writing style and how the entire text gets more formal when there is the dad in the scene and more kid-like when he is not. I also enjoy the smooth transitions of time, for example the end of summer isn't the start of a new chapter, but a continuation of the current one, showing that life doesn't stop and resume at "boring" parts.

I'm reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton.
I've enjoyed reading this book because of how deep the science & plot behind the book go. Also the plot twists keep the book very interesting. As well as the fact that I love the idea behind the book because dinosaurs are ausome. As well as the fact the fact that I enjoy it when people die &there is lots of gore.

Fake me a match by Lauren Barnholdt I have enjoyed reading the book because of Avery Laduke`s personality. She is a very strong person and gives out very good advice. Also I have enjoyed it because it has a good plot. I also like how Avery Laduke is dealing with the fact that she has just lost a friend and how strong she has been during this situation.

[Nichollas]

I am reading the book it worked for me by Colin Powell. The book is essentially a mix between a autobiography and a self help book. The book is written as if Colin Powell is talking to you and giving you advice as well as telling you about his life.

[Michael]

I am reading Timeline by Michel Crichton.
I was not enjoying the book in the beginning because it was not that interesting. Soon later it became very suspenseful. Now in the book a group of archaeologist have had both of their guides killed right in front of them by horsemen. They are now stuck in the year 1357 were wars, bandits and chaos is all around them, and they have no way of getting back home.

[Raquel]

I am reading The Green Mile by Stephen King.
The Green Mile
I like this book because the plot is very interesting. So far I haven't been bored about what is happening. Secondly, I like how Stephen King words everything. Even though it takes place in the southern 1950s the language isn't too difficult to comprehend.

[Willem]

I am reading Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld.

So far, this book is pretty great. It takes place in an alternate steampunk reality during World War One, where the Central powers use steam and diesel-driven machines to suit their needs. The Allies, on the the other hand, fabricate creatures for military in every day use. Basically Beasts vs Machines.
The reason I love this book is because of the obvious time that was spent creating this fictional universe. Combined with Kieth Thompson's amazing black and white drawings ( http://www.keiththompsonart.com/ ), this book has become one of my all-time favorites. :>

I am reading double identity by Margret Peterson. Double Identity

I like the book so far. It goes in to detail and i feel as i am right in the book. It is a realistic fiction/ science fiction book. It attends to get weird at times. But i really like the book so far.

[Brian]

SORRY FOR BEING LATE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO USE THIS WEBSITE THAT MUCH YET.

[Monica]

The book I'm reading is called Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen.Along for the Ride

So far the book is pretty good. I like it because its about teenagers and although the main character isn't all that similar to me the kinds of situations and things that happen are relatable. It's also well written so it keeps you engaged. The writer manages to keep the story easy to follow along with while incorporating many different subplots and things going on so it doesn't get boring. Lastly i like the setting because its near the beach and in the summer which reminds me of things i enjoy.

Im really sorry its late I got very confused with Canvas and couldn't figure it out but it won't happen again!

[Joey]

The book that I am reading is the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

So I'm really close to finishing the book and I have to say that it has a lot of differences between the movie. But I have enjoyed on how the plot has turns. I am excited on how the other two books turn out because i am trying to read all three before the second movie comes out. Which I should be able to do

P.S Sorry i am late still getting used to Good Reads was confused won't happen again.

[Julien]

Meh, I don't really have a new book yet...

[Luke]

I am reading The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman.
I like this book because of the suspense and mystery it builds as it progresses. This book is also very good at making you want to read more. The plot is always thickening and mystery unravelling. Best of all, when the characters figure out the mystery a new one pops up.The Subtle Knife

[Kyla]

LATE!!!

I am reading this book called Impulse by Ellen Hopkins (well I'm done)

I like this book because I can relate to it in a way. I really like how the chapters (I guess) are in poems. It really makes the book unique.

[Julien]

The book I've finally chosen to read is Unkillable by Patrick E. McLean.Unkillable

I've read it before, but have chosen to read it again. I like it because of its dark humor and interesting plot about an undead man. There is gruesome murder inside and I think one sex scene, so its not for the faint of heart. I can already remember the ending and I haven't even started it yet, I guess it means its memorable to me.

[Max]

I'm reading The Bluest Eye by Toni MorrisonThe Bluest Eye

This is a book I read in middle school that stuck with me. The message is so impacting, it explains how African-Americans viewed themselves and how envious we could be of Caucasians. The book shows that black history was far from good , but ultimately we've overcome.

[Nathanchong]

The title of the book I am reading is IN THE WOODS by TANA FRENCH


This book starts off where there is a detective named Rob Ryan, his first case is three little boys who went to the silence woods and never came back. two were gone dead or maybe somewhere, one is sitting on a tree trunk in terror and cannot recall anything in the previous hours.
