So it's summer, and I like to read a lot over the summer, and I like talking about books. xD
Anyway, what books are you reading?
I just finished reading the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire, and I liked it a lot. I have yet to see the musical, but I've read a synopsis for the musical and the plot is completely different. Has anyone else read Wicked? What books have you read/have been reading?

I haven't read Wicked, but I've been trying to find a good recording of the musical that I can watch. In the meantime, I'm listening to songs from it.
As for what I'm reading? Postage stamps The Michael's Craft Book from the craft store, Michaels.
...what? I don't have anything else to read!

The musical for Wicked seems really really popular, and I intend to watch it. But I like to read all the books before I go see the movies or plays, so I thought I would read it first. And then I read synopis of the musical and the plot was completely different. I enjoyed Wicked though, it was an interesting novel.
I have never heard of Sarah Dessen, what books did she write?

I'm currently reading Generation Dead by... I'm not at work, I forget the author's name. Something Waters. It involves teenagers who come back to life (they're called "living-impaired") and go back to school like they never died. This uber-goth girl falls in love with one of the dead kids and everyone's conspiring against him because he wants to try out for the football team. It sounds good in theory, but I'm not really enjoying it too much. They keep repeating how ~*goth*~ the girl is and it's getting annoying.
Sarah Dessen is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't read anything by her yet. I started reading about the first twenty pages of Dreamland and got sidetracked. Her latest book is called Lock & Key, and she also wrote the book How To Deal... which I didn't know was originally a book until recently.
I've spent the last five days at work (aggh holiday weekend), so I'm in a book mood right now.

I'm prolly gonna reread either Wuthering Heights or Catch 22 soon (curse you Ellethwen and your list of 100 books...)
