Whoa I love Percy Jackson, too! I'm on The Lost Hero right now!

Right now I am reading the 3rd Harry Potter book.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series and Scott Pilgrim vs the World, along with some books from the Brazilian/Portuguese literature.

I've never read any of those, I should check them out.

1. I, Robot – Look, this one you're just going to have to read. I love robots, and this is the only book to have successfully given me a warm, fuzzy feeling (and I have a reputation for being dark). Very different from the movie, by the way.

2. 2010: The Odyssey Two – Lots of Hal, and Chandra has become one of the only human characters I like (along with Susan Calvin in ‘I, Robot’). Again, I found it better than the movie; the Americans and Soviets weren't at each others throats in the book. I found Heywood annoying, though. HAL REDEEMS HIMSELF, AND HIS PSYCHOSIS ISN'T HIS FAULT! Enough said.

3. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – Hysterical, and I loved it up to ‘So Long and Thanks for All the Fish’. At that point, the series took a 90 degree fall downward. Dent and Fenchurch just RUINED it.

4. 2001: A Space Odyssey – A bit dull, but I liked it a bit. I hate Dave.

I've never read an of those. I know, sometimes you just hate a certain character! Aaaauuugggghhh dull books! I hate dull books( like “ My Brother Sam is Dead” it gives away the ending in the title, and, well, it's dull)

Is Chandra a man or woman? Seriously, I read the book and I have no idea.

Let's see…
1: Harry Potter
2: The Lord of the Rings
3: The Maze Runner
4: A Game of Thrones (first book of A Song of Fire and Ice)

Harry Potter is a good series. I've never read Lord of the Rings, but I've heard of it!

Male; I'm pretty sure he was referred to as ‘he’ several times, but in the movie Chandra was a guy (then again, they mixed up several genders and made him American instead of a Hindu from India…)

Probably Narnia and LOTR would be my top favs.

Oh, yeah. Aren't Hobbit and LOTR by the same author? Never read them before, just heard of them.

Right now, I'm reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's really good!

One of my favorite books is The Hobbit. We read it in my reading class.

i really like a lot of short stories…some of my favorites include

“A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud” by Carson McCullers
“The Death of Ivan Ilych” by Tolstoy
“The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim” by Jorge Luis Borges
“The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” by Ursula K. Le Guin
“Bullet in the Brain” by Tobias Wolff
