This book has made the rounds on RM. John K. comes off as a author with an ego, but his book did a decent job at exposing some of the problems and issues associated with mormon fundamentalism.
Just finished Best of Rohl Dahl
Just started Poisonwood bible.

I was reading Night by Elie Wisel which is a great book.
So much more depth to the Hobbit and LOTR when you find that an event mentioned in passing in those books actually fills a hundred pages in it's own telling.
I've got a Dumas thing going: just finished _Vingt Ans Apres_ and am now onto _The Vicomte de Bragelonne_ to be followed by _Louise de la Valliere_
I read that in 7th grade and wanted to stab myself. It would probably be much better if I read it now.
I'm planning on reading 1984 over my winter break. I'll pick it up tomorrow after my last exam (woohoo).
Has anyone read Youth In Revolt? It has to bee the best teen novel on earth.
Just finished The Kite Runner (amazing insight into Afghanistan) and House of Sand and Fog (well-written and suspenseful).
