Re: What readest thou?
I read and finished Farm Boy today: it's definitely meant for a younger audience, but the way it is written works for its purpose. It was nice to see Albert and Joey from a different perspective too.

Re: What readest thou?
I started reading Frankenstein and am loving it (so far). It's quite fascinating; however, I won't recommend it because it deals with moral issues and I haven't finished it yet.

I just finished the Giver Quartet. Very good books, but not intended for a younger audience whatsoever...wouldn't reccomend it for someone younger than high school.

Keep on forgetting to mention that I am making slow progress on Ghost Soldiers, which is a World War II account of a very daring rescue of American and British POWs in the Philippines. Definitely not recommended for sensitive readers.

Slow progress on a massive detective story anthology (still on the Sherlock Holmes section!), a small beastiary (not to be named because guidelines reasons), a Charles Dickens-inspired Victorian mystery-with-vampires (has potential but is kind of rough stylistically), and checked out A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park for a re-read - historical fiction set in Korea, it's been several years and I remember quite enjoying it last time.

I've been working through The Hobbit and LotR for the past few months - I'm about halfway through TTT. It's been 5 years since I last read these, and they're even better than I remember

Re: What readest thou?
Hehe! Okay..... I just finished the fourth book of the Wingfeather Saga (credit Nia and Tenny for getting me into those), and I just finished Les Miserables, and I am returning to The Silmarillion. I interrupted The Silmarillion for Les Mis, and I interrupted Les Mis for That fourth book (I can never remember names of those). Les Mis was half awesome, half not read, because of the large sections of unimportant information and other not-understandable dates and historical stuff. I would recommend it, but only if you don't mind a lot of dates.
And if you want me to respond to anything, you will have to quote me I am afraid.

I had to put aside LotR (it was getting a little stagnant) and I picked up How To Train Your Dragon instead. A+, very hilarious I'm looking forward to reading the following 11 (!!!) books.
