Scratch

Trying (and failing) to finish LOTR.  I started the last book last year, it's a one week book for me, and I'm still reading it.

Still 2001, but once I finish that I want to try and finish Mostly Harmless (borrowed the whole series out at once from the library so I had to return it before finishing and haven't been able to get it back).

Anyone know if Eoin Colfer's entry, And Another Thing . . ., is any good?

No, I read all her (he?) other books though, they're pretty good, so theres a good chance that book is awesome.

I wasn't a fan of Artemis Fowl, though it wasn't awful, and Artemis Fowl certainly isn't a quick-witted parody of Science Fiction.

I just feel like someone adopting the series after Adams's death is a bit unfair.

People say that Adams's wifegave him her blessing, but Adams's wife can't speak for her husband's artistic choices. :(

I actually stopped reading the series after Life, the Universe, and Everything. :P I don't know why, I just sort of moved on to other things. I should get back to it though.

Don't even bother. It's not worth it.

Finished To Kill a Mockingbird yesterday, I've got nothing now

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry, it's ok but not super 

Lowry's good but not that one
Have you tried Gossamer or Number the Stars!

Number the Stars kind of annoyed me when we read it in Fifth Grade

Like important time in history and decent writing and all, but so generic and bland

I'm reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It's pretty good, so I would recommend it.
