I may be off-track, but I'm pretty sure that is the same book and other stuff.
Textbooks for classes.....one on social studies....one on reading
You have to read a book about reading?
Has anyone here read Eldest??
I liked Eragon ok but was not crazy about it. I just can't decide if I should buy the sequel or not.
Yup! Fun, fun, fun! It is a book filled with testing materials to test people to see what issues they may have with reading. We go through that then tutor elementary students and retest at the end to see if we were helpful.Quote:

"Lennon Revealed" by Larry Kane (so far it's pretty good, I really liked his other book "Ticket To Ride")
Hike Alabama by Joe Cuhaj
"Losing My Virginity" - autobiography by Richard Branson
"Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust" - this one is a killer!
"Laughing Tales" magazine is never far from the nightstand also.
I like to keep a book or two within easy reach, you never know when you may be lucky enough to find five minutes peace!
I know this is a late reply... I liked Eldest, especially when it got farther into the book. The ending was great. The middle of the book can get a little dull, though. Most of the story is him training with the Elves.Quote:

It really made you think because it causes you to pity the girl growing up in Nazi Germany and makes you wonder how the Allies could ever hurt her or her family. Sadly, those are the only books I have read this summer, Martin's books are about 1,000 pages, though.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
grapes of wrath (summer reading requirement)
I am reading (believe it or not) book #7 of the Hardy Boys Mysterys. I read them as a child, and found them on Ebay and While recovering from Surgery, I am plugging away at the 58 Teen Mystery Books. Brings back Memories.

Right now I am reading "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" By Aron Ralston
Business books...still. I'm saving Harry Potter for this weekend.
