@Gollum- Yes, I thought the same thing. I was really hoping that we might get to learn more about him or he'd do some big heroic thing but that didn't really happen... :)

Graceling seemed like a mix of Tamora Pierce's Alanna books and Gifts by Ursula K. LeGuin. Or maybe that's just me.
@ Elizabeth,
Did you read Paper Towns in German or English, because John Green said that he met a Nerdfighter who had read it in both Dutch and English and said that it was better in Dutch, so I'm wondering if that's true in German, too. When I heard that, I thought "Now I REALLY need to try and learn how to read Dutch". X)

@Gollum- I read Paper Towns in German. I haven't read it in English so I can't really compare it with the German version. I haven't read any other John Green books before but I just got one out from the library that he wrote with David Leviathan (sp.?). It's called Will Grayson & Will Grayson or something like that. It sounds pretty good.

I really want to read that one! I read the first couple pages and it looked really John Green-like!
I was in an acting class today, and we had to act out a character from our favorite book, and after doing Augustus from TFiOS, I did Radar from Paper Towns, and no one got it. Maybe because I'm the only one who actually reads YA books...

@ Gollum; I've read the first Allana book. What are the other two like?
Also, I've been asking this, but I'll ask again, does anyone know if there is to or going to be a sequal to The Girl Who Could Fly?!?!?! I really liked the first! And they left so much room for a second!!!!!

I've actually only read the first Allana book, but the style of writing is kind of like Graceling.
I started read The Candle Man. From what I've read, it should be interesting.
Excuse, me. There are some giant rainbow spheroids floating outside the window. *sigh*.

Oh, I hope there is. I liked that book.

Guess which one of these is a book I'm reading for school:
The Science of His Dark Materials
Of Mice and Men
Memoirs of Edward Teller
The Theban Trilogy

OMM. I had to read that last year. Then we saw the movie and I was like ASDF:LJK GARY SINISE! Ken Mattingly in Apollo 13.

I think Of Mice and Men, too.
Our teacher started reading us The Fourth Stall part II. We were all kind of squeeing over the fourth stall, so it was kind of inevitable.

I had to read OMM for summer reading this year. *resists urge to reveal ending* I think it's The Science of His Dark Materials, though.

Oh, yeah, just started reading the Eyre Affair, too. I love Jasper Fforde.

Has anyone here read The Wave?
(January 15, 2013 - 3:17 pm)
Sounds good. Looked it up on Wikipedia.
