You're supposed to hate the farm Rae. (Well, I hope you are, or Orwell really messed up) It's pure allegory. It's amazing how close Animal Farm is to what happened with the Russian Revolution. That's why 1984 is so good too–his view of the future is really accurate.

Hahah, just making sure that I'm not the only one. I'll have to read that at some point- I don't think its required reading, so I'll read it when I can. :)

Rae, that is exactly what you are supposed to be feeling :)
And Snowball & Napoleon are actually based on real people. Kate's right, after reading through some websites on the topic, ANIMAL FARM is amazingly close to what happened in Russia all those years ago...

Jess: Good. ;) I'll probably finish it tomorrow- then I have a paper to write, but I won't get the specifics on the paper until after break- on Tuesday.
I liekd Crescendo, but i didn't think it was as good as Hush,Hush. But i haven't read The Power of Six, so i can't help you there.
Rae*Gnomey* wrote: "i remember you telling us that in another topic. But that's pretty sweet."I think it's been more like 2-3 other topics. Lol.
Hahah, true. But when things come up in conversations, you're liable to mention something like that several times.
I agree with all three of you Jess, Amelia, and Rae. (Wow! So agreeable!)I have definitely heard it before. Multiple times. But hey, it is pretty awesome, and I did ask her. When something comes up in conversation, repetition is ok. (Or at least, it better be or I have long surpassed to bounds of ok)
Well, too much repetition can sound a little on the immature side. Or the pretentious side. Like the Oracle at Delphi says, "Nothing too much."Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to read right now. I'm about to finish The Ask and the Answer and have no idea what to do next!! Arrghhh.
I'm currently reading Perfect Chemistry and i love it soo much! I would recommend to someone who likes teen romance and some action :P i can barely even put it down!!
Kate wrote: "I hate when I have that problem. Do you know what type of book you're in the mood for?"anything that's not dystopian. My friend is currently boycotting paranormal romance and I think I might have to do a dystopian "boycott." Lol.
But I am flipping through The Hourglass Door again, about to start the sequel The Golden Spiral
Monsters of Men ;)
But thats dystopian....so yeah.
You should look into The Book Thief. Because its only the best thing ever.

I shoulda put a disclaimer "Not counting the CHAOS WALKING series"! It spanks the heck out of THE HUNGER GAMES, lol, even though I sometimes wish Todd was as brave and matter-of-fact as Katniss
Currently reading:The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
Power Play by Ridley Pearson
Specials by Scott Westerfeld
....Power Play was good, but I definatly want the series to end. It's obvious there's going to be another one. Pearson should've just stopped it after the third.
Finished Crescendo, now reading The Power Of Six. Then... The Summer Of Firsts and Last, or Wither.
I just started The Goddess Test yesterday. And it's pretty good! The gods are really different, though. Kinda weird!
What the Librarian Did
Thank the internet gods for Awful Library Books; if they weren't around, I would have not known about this gloriously lol-filled book.

The Power of Six? Who's it by?
I'm also reading (to add on to my list):
Ingo
Marked
And I just finished Shiver <=Great Book!
Reading MPD Psycho right now. Tons of manga in my possession, so I'm trying to get through it all.
I'm currently reading The Wide Window, The Pretty Committee Strikes Back, Breaking Up if Really Really Hard to Do, and HIVE. I like them all, but I have to say that HIVE is my favorite.

Kate wrote: "The Power of Six is the sequel to I am Number Four. It isn't out yet/"Yeah that's why I was asking.
FOR ALL: In my opinion, The Power of Six was better than I Am Number Four, so if you didn't like it that much, you should at least give the second one a chance :)
It's in many other discussions, as some have said, but I will repeat myself because I was asked... My mom works for a book company and I get all my books and ARC's for free. The Power of Six is an ARC.
I am reading my own book again making sure there are no plot holes for the next. Once I finish that I will be working on the last 2 chapters of writing the next book. I have just finished writing the entire first draft of an entire new series by myself and Roy C Booth.
