Just finished "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian" by Vonnegut.
Short but wonderful. I highly suggest it.

I'm about 50 pages into Breakfast of Champions now.

Just finished "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King. One of the best Dark Tower/Gunslinger books so far.

I'm now reading Ringworld Engineers. The first book gripped me. The idea of building a ring around the sun 93 million miles in radius and have the ring itself 1 million miles wide is amazing. Will we as a species ever accomplish an engineering achievement on that scale? I hope so.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR HARRY POTTER! I WILL FINISH IT IN 1 DAY! not go to work, see friends, leave my room. Hopefully I can hold my bladder until I'm done and my sister can deliver food to my room. I'm not currently reading it, but it is MUCH anticipated.
