So, we haven't had one of these in awhile and I like to read.

What was the last thing you read?
What are you reading now?
How is it, would you recommend it?
What do you plan on reading next?
Do you read in the summer? (Assuming some of you are still in school)

You don't have to follow what's above, just have at it.

What was the last thing you read, like it? The Art of Disney by Christopher Finch. Loved it, about Disney back from birth until 1995.

What are you reading now? Postcards to Father Abraham by Catherine Lewis.

How is it, would you recommend it? Pretty good so far, short chapters, easy to read and pick up on. I would recommend it at this point.

What do you plan on reading next? The Three Musketeers. Found a list of books you should read before college, decided to start on it.

Do you read in the summer? Heck yes, all the time
 
What was the last thing you read? The Bad Beginning
What are you reading now? Nothing atm.
How is it, would you recommend it? It was good.
What do you plan on reading next? The Wide Window
Do you read in the summer? HECK YES.
 
What was the last thing you read? A Gossip Girl book.
What are you reading now? Stephen Fry's autobiography.
How is it, would you recommend it? Yes, because it's Stephen Fry. And he's awesome. xD
What do you plan on reading next? I'm not sure.. I need to try and get Meg Cabot's latest book shipped over here because they don't sell it here yet.
Do you read in the summer? Yep, all the time. I love lying on my trampoline/in the park/on the beach/by the pool and reading. (:
 
What was the last thing you read? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I think.

What are you reading now? Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev

How is it, would you recommend it? It's okay, it's a sequal and the first was phenomenal. It doesn't make much sense thus far. Not sure if I'd reccomend it, but I definitely reccomend Eyes Like Stars, which it is the sequal to.

What do you plan on reading next? Fire by Kristen Cashore, then East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Do you read in the summer? Yup. I always have, and not just the reading for school. :goodvibes
 

The last thing I read was Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan. It was adorable, I loved it. It wasn't as funny as I had hoped though.

I'm currently reading The Origin of Species by Nino Ricci. I loved the beginning, but I'm at a slow part right now. The author tends to write run on sentences, and is in general opposed to having shorter paragraphs. But the book is good so far.

I'm not sure what I'm going to read next. I might read The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano. I almost bought it last weekend, but The Origin of Species was thicker and cheaper.

I read in the summer, on my own accord. We do not get summer homework or reading lists.
 
What was the last thing you read? The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks (very good!!)
What are you reading now? Mating Rituals of the North American WASP by Laura Lipton
How is it, would you recommend it? I started it a while ago, then stopped because I was too busy with school to read. So now I'm starting over. It's really good though..but for an older crowd.
What do you plan on reading next? Who knows. I need a trip to Barnes and Noble soon..haha
Do you read in the summer? (Assuming some of you are still in school) No summer reading, but I do miss it. I will usually go over to the summer reading tables at Barnes and Noble and check out those books. My previous summer reading books in high school were some of the best books I've ever read, no lie.

What are you reading now? Well, it's not in yet at my bookstore, but Blue Moon by Alyson Noel. The sequel.
How is it, would you recommend it? Yes, even though it's a little Twilight ripoff-y. But I'd say it's marginally better. IDK.
