Catcher in the Rye: Read the first six or so chapters, and I'm finding the main character to be annoying as fuck.
Yeah, you're supposed to. |

Animal Farm is one of my all-time favorite books.
And we just started it in my English class.

Not reading it yet but I just ordered a really interesting sounding book called Galore, which is based on Canadian/Newfie mythology, in a magical realism style influenced by Gabriel García Márquez. |

The only Newfie mythology I know is a couple ghost stories. Unless they mean the archaic Viking shit.

I finished Zelazny's "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth" and Haldeman's "Forever Free", which wraps up the story from his "Forever War" novel ("Forever War" and Gibson's "Burning Chrome" are the oddest books in the foreign collection [aka books in English for English literate children] of the children's library department that I have yet found).
I'm now reading the 18th collection of the "Best New SF" edited by Dozois, which I bought from a 2nd hand book store for about $4 and which consists of SF from 2004. I enjoyed his 2008 edition I read last, and the first few stories have been good so far. As soon as I click post I'm going to chip a little more off this brick of a book.

This is definitely one of my favorite books. When I moved last and had to fit everything I was taking into a duffel bag I only took about ten books with me to start my new bookshelf where ever I was landing, and this was one. |
