Okay, here's the deal: I have a late-night job at a front desk at a nearby dorm. I'm not allowed to do homework, but I can bring 'leisure reading' books to read when it's slow. I am currently reading 'The Chronicles of Narnia' (finally, I know), and flying though the books at unnatural speeds.
Any suggestions about what to read next? Expand my mind, people. God knows I need it. Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
Perks of Being A Wallflower ~~ Stephen Chbosky
You Shall Know Our Velocity ~~ Dave Eggers
The Best Nonrequired Reading of 2003 ~~ edited by Dave Eggers

If you like to read plays, read "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" by Steve Martin. GREAT play.

read ALL IN THE TIMING by David Ives. its a collection of one act plays that are hysterical.
and read Shopgirl by Steve Martin (its a novella)

ooh! "The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis" I second that! I haven't read it yet, but plan to read it in the next little while, my brother was telling me bits about it. I can't wait!

The Screwtape Letters is very good.

What sort of book do you want?

I mostly like fantasy-ish, sci-fi is okay too, but I'm basically open to read anything. Currently, I'm reading the Silmarillion on audio CD (thank you Amazon.com), and I'm getting though two CDs a shift (13 in all). I've read His Dark Materials, but I need to reread it... If you talk to Bernard in chat, ask him his opinion on The Amber Spyglass .

I would second this. My school put it on last year and it was hilarious.
