I keep on rereading the books I read last week... (I read about six last week) mainly "Gaudy Night" by Dorothy L Sayers... because I'm meant to be reading stuff on the Russian Revolution.
I've only been allowed to read the dust cover of Harry Potter so far. I'm not allowed to read it this weekend ... and it really, really sucks. *glowers at evil parents* Just because I basically spent all last week reading... *sulks*
You think I would be old enough to not have my parents confiscate my books.  Obviously not... _________________ <center>i love

I'm reading:
- The Hobbit (with the Tolkien Reading Group)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Why not HBP? Because it's sold out and I have to re-read the other books first)
- More than five other books which are never translated in English.

Larael Greenleaf wrote: Well here I'll type out the summary of the book. I must warn you though its historical fiction. I personally love historical fiction but ya know thats just me. The River Between Us This historical novel set at the beginning of the Civil War actually opens in 1916, as 15-year-old Howard Leland Hutchings recounts his trip in a Model T to visit his father's childhood home in Grand Tower, IL. When he and his younger brothers meet the four elderly people who raised their father, the novel shifts to 1861, and the narrator shifts to 15-year-old Tilly Pruitt, the boys' grandmother. When a steamboat from New Orleans brings two mysterious young ladies, Mama offers them room and board, and the Pruitts' lives are forever changed. Fair and beautiful Delphine Duval, with her fancy dresses and high-society ways, fascinates the family. And what of Calinda, the darker-skinned young woman? Could she be Delphine's slave? On the eve of his 16th birthday, Tilly's twin brother, Noah, leaves to join the Union troops at Camp Defiance and Mama, distraught, sends Tilly and Delphine to bring him home. It is here that Tilly learns of Delphine's heritage. She is a quadroon, part of the colored family of a rich white man. Her mother sent her daughters away from New Orleans, hoping Delphine can pass for white. The novel ends with a return to 1916 and Howard's finding out his father's true parentage. In this thoroughly researched novel, Peck masterfully describes the female Civil War experience, the subtle and not-too-subtle ways the country was changing, and the split in loyalty that separated towns and even families. Although the book deals with some weighty themes, it is not without humor.  I like historical fiction too! Well, some. The cover looks interesting actually.
I tried to borrow it in the library, but they didn't have it. Ah well. I also tried borrowing "A Great and Terrible Beauty" but they didn't have that either. Nor did they have "Schindler's List"!!!!! Oh no.  _________________

Well apart from the HP book which I'm finished and only took me the day to read, I am reading 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy. Another classic!
