Books/novels (non-manga!)
« on: July 11 2005, 01:50 pm »
Haha, I've been working on my summer reading list  :sweatdrop: need to finish 'War of the worlds' and 'the hiding place' before school starts...
 Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Roald Dahl's books, and Sherlock Holmes are my all time favourite non-mangas  :keke:
I've never read those american comics before though, spider-man and super-man and bat-man and such.

so...what do you read that's not manga? XD

I read Harry Potter and Tamora Pierce books. I read the first book of Artemis Fowl but whenever I start on the second one, I can never finish it... I guess I'm just lazy..

Currently, I'm rereading the 5th book of HP, but I don't think I'll finish it by Friday... I'm stil on page 200  :sweatdrop:

My friend has, and she says that although it's not very well written, the subject and content makes it worthwhile.
