The Gift, by Hafiz, and Dune, by Frank Herbert. Dune isn't my normal fare, but I and a friend of mine got in an argument about the greatest work of science fiction literature. I argued that it's The Martian Chronicles and he argued for Dune, but neither of us have read the other's choice, so we're going to do that and then have another argument :P.

I just finished reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli. Good book, great author.

I'm going to attempt to read Catcher in the Rye for the second time, I tried to months ago but couldn't. Am I the only one that found that book a tad bit boring?

You know that place between sleep and awake? The place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling, so I can refresh my memory before the movie Wednesday night (Or, technically, Thursday morning.)

Double post!

The Essential Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks, and Crush, by Richard Siken. I've read what little of Siken's poetry can be found online, but the actual book has been too rare to acquire easily until recently. I'm so excited that I finally got my hands on it; his poems are like a simultaneous punch to both the heart and the gut.

I'm reading the Sammy Keyes series by Wendelin Van Draanen even though it is far below my reading level... Heck it was below my reading level when it started... But I like the series, it is very cute mystery series. So I shall continue to follow it as I have been since 1998.

And never again, and never again...They gave us two shots to the back of the head... And we're all dead now...

The Symposium, by Plato, and Steppenwolf, by Hermann Hesse. I've still got a pretty big list of philosophical texts to work my way through, I think I'm going to take a break soon and find something lighter to read.

I think One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the greatest novels of all time; I'm referencing it in a paper I'm writing about cross-cultural magical realism. The respective parts involving Amaranta, Pietro Crespi, and Remedios the Beauty are absolutely sublime. Garcia Marquez does mysticism like no other.

I'm reading The Adventures of Augie March, by Saul Bellow, and re-reading Swann's Way, by Marcel Proust.
