The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime is SUCH a good book :'D You should definitely read it.

I've read a good number of books here, but that's mainly because of my required summer reading ^^;

Yeah, I used to have it actually. && then we moved && it got left behind.

I'm still bitter about that, a lot of my books we're just left.

If you liked Harry Potter, you'd probably enjoy Lord of the Rings. (The books are more detailed and better executed than the movies, anyway)

I'm also of the opinion everyone should read Catch-22 and 1984. (1984 starts out rather slow, but once you get past that...)

... I'm amazed you weren't forced to read The Great Gatsby and Animal Farm in high school.

Yeah, to be honest, I am probably the last nerd to call themself a nerd who hasn't ready any of The Lord Of The Rings books.

What is 1984 about? I've never even heard of that one.

Yeah. I was forced to read "To Kill A Mockingbird" T_T

It's basically the ultimate dystopia. Whenever you hear the phrases "Orwellion" or "Big Brother (is watching you)" they're adapting it from that book. :]

I loved To Kill A Mockingbird. D:

Maybe it will inspire you to read way more, like it did to me.

Life of Pi, Wuthering Heights, The Great Gatsby, and Cloud Atlas are all personal favorite of mine. You might enjoy them too! :)
