I'm reading rangers in Korea, right now I'm on a chapter on a sniper who up in the mountain side would shoot into a Bally taking out a betalion with fear, he was so efficient that he gave them a sense of security to run to a village that was called in and Bo bedrock artillery

I recently finished The Body Of Christopher Creed, and now I'm moving on to The Outsiders (Believe it or not, I have only watched the movie.), I'm trying to get The Road from my English Teacher, so that'll be next as I hadn't got to read all of it the last time I had it.

I'm also trying to get a hardback copy of John Dies at the End, which I will most likely read again.

[January 15] - Glasshouse by Charles Stross

Glasshouse was a pretty good sci-fi book, though I wouldn't recommend it to non-fans of the genre. In a future where technology has accelerated beyond belief, a group of people willing undergo memory surgery and enlist in a program that places individuals in a recreation of a 1990-2000 suburban town. From there, naturally, things go pretty south. Nice read.

Old topics like this make me happy.

JUST READ:Fight Club good book but I still prefer the movie from the way it was told and cinematography,Scott Pilgrim VS The World it was a good book for day for reading it.

Currently Reading:I am on the second book of Scott Pilgrim and currently liking it better than the movie version (i kind of hate Michael Cera) has more backstory.

Want To Read:I want to read all the next Scott pilgrims next but for a book series it has to be the Hunger Games,it reminds me of battle Royale in a way.I want to read graphic novel such as Alan Moore's V for Vendetta and Watchmen but one caught my eye it was called "Interview with a serial killer" and the artwork of the guy looked like John C Reilly and the artwork looked spiffy as well but I won't get into much detail. so yeah that is me for my books

I just realized, I have a $25 gift card for Chapters. I should probably use it on one of these books.

I would have thought you'd have read V just from looking at your avatar and sig.

[Reading]
"Catch-22" by Joseph Heller

[Read Recently]
"4th of July" by James Patterson
"Choke" and "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk
And for school

I am not too far into "Catch-22" but, can someone tell me if it gets any better or ends up going anywhere anytime soon? I just understood how sarcastic and neurotic Yossarian is but, aside from that I am lost.

I just read Replay by Ken Grimwood. I give it a "thumbs up", but who cares what I think. It's a good book.

Excerpt from Wikipedia, for the lazy:

Spoiler:: The novel tells of a 43-year-old man who dies and awakens back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body. He then begins to relive his life with intact memories of the previous 25 years. This happens repeatedly with different events in each cycle. The premise was explored earlier by Richard A. Lupoff in his 1973 short story "12:01". The novel was a bestseller in Japan, and its time-loop concept has been referenced as a precursor of Harold Ramis' comedy-drama Groundhog Day (1993).[1]
