The last book I read was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the 8 time. Absolutly amazing!
I got from the library today:
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Choke - Chuck Palahniuk
Vissen Redden (TRANSL: Saving fishes) - Annelies Verbeke
Eager to read them 
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Just like LukeMasse...Fricken Awesome!!!
Read White Fang recently for school.
It was quite good, Jack London was a master at descriptive writing...I quite liked it. Interesting concept to write mostly from the point of view of a wolf.
8/10
I read Call of the Wild, it's a grittier version of White Fang.
I wanna read that one.

Not really. They're companions, to be sure, but the dramatic journeys are completely reversed. In The Call of the Wild, an abducted, domesticated animal heeds said call and becomes a wild animal, returning to his home, whereas in White Fang, the wild animal journeys toward domestication.
Interesting Jargon.
YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF.

But you have to admit, Call of the Wild is a whole lot more grim.
That's an inherent part of a progression towards wildness. I was taking issue, rather, with your calling The Call of the Wild simply another version of White Fang.
I'm almost done with The lost hero, by Rick Riordan.
So far it's pretty good, but still a lot like the other ones.
^ The woman looks like Tomb Raider.
Anyways, I recently read 'God Hates Us All' (finally). I liked it, it had its moments.
I've also read half of Lolita but I stopped. It was written greatly, but I thought the characters were boring. And I didn't enjoy the fact that the story was being told by a pedophile...
I read also: Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Too bad I saw the movie first because it's almost the exact same, so I didn't find it that good.
Vissen Redden - Annelies Verbeke: Liked alot as well, favourite Flemish writer.
And parts of "How the human mind works" by Steven Pinker, which is very interesting.
Right now I'm reading 'Hollywood' by Charles Bukowski.
I started Reading 'The Giver'. I learn in school that some towns ban this book.
I'm reading the Scott Pilgrim series for the sixth time now.
I've read the following Michael Morpurgo books and never wanted them to end
And I nearly (well maybe a little) cried at the end of Private Peaceful. (I am such a girl... 
) If you see it, you have to read it It is the best book I have read in the past 5 years.
Last book I read was The Good Earth.
Really fantastic book. The writing style fits the mood of the novel very well. The tragedy through the entire thing was handled superbly, and while I wasn't entirely certain how Buck could bring the book to a satisfying conclusion, she caught me by surprise and essentially tied the whole thing up with one brilliant sentence. Social ideas are implemented throughout the novel in a way that well reflects the turbulence of pre-WWII Chinese life. I would definitely recommend it. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a dull book because of the subject matter, it truly isn't.
I've just finished the FAYZ triolgy. Now I can start on all the books I got for Christmas
