Despite stress and busy schedules, have any of you guys read a really good book lately (either for school or pleasure)?
I got through some of Neil Degrasse Tyson’s stuff over the break and it definitely changed the way I see the universe

I’m reading Hollow City by Ransom Riggs and rereading the Fellowship of the Rings (: I really want to read Across the Universe by Beth Revis–I saw the book in a classroom and it seemed interesting.
I love stuff about space–I’ve been wanting to read some of Neil Degrasse Tyson’s stuff for a while.
I am reading In the Afterlight, the third book in a series called The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. It’s a YA science fiction series. It has caused me to stay up very late on school nights a couple times but it is so exciting.

The across the universe books are really good. I think it was either the second book or third one that was disappointing. I think it’s the second.
I have yet to read the second book in the darkest minds series.
I can’t choose which series is better.
I just started reading Dracula, and it’s very good. I’m glad I chose it for my project.
Reading The Sun Also Rises for AP Lang. Also, I think I’m going to start rereading The Secret History.
Read freedom by Jonathan Franzen. Outstanding book
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
Reading for pleasure since my AP Lang & Comp teacher isn’t assigning us any books to read. Right now I’m reading Crime and Punishment by Feodor Dostoevsky, and I just recently finished Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys.
I kind of misread the second book as Fifty Shades at first, and oooohh Crime and Punishment is one of my all time favourites (cliche, I know).
I always hate the books my English teachers assign. The only exception so far has been Hamlet.
Currently reading Infinite Jest. While I can appreciate postmodernism, Wallace’s post-postmodernism is world-altering.
I personally enjoyed gravity’s rainbow. Pynchon’s narrative was a bit simplistic, but it made for a fun read between weightier material
Have you tried At Swim-Two-Birds? O’Brien’s meta-meta-irony was masterful.
