Versailles by Kathryn Davis. I've always been interested in Marie-Antoinette's history, so this clever out-take on her life from her point-of-view was very enjoyable. :)

I just read "The Alchemist," which was very interesting. I just finished it this morning, so I'm still pondering what I think about it ;)

I also read The Da Vinci Code lately. I do have my opinions on it...that it is an attack against Christianity (even if Mr. Brown didn't mean for it to be). There's a lot more that goes into that opinion, but there it is :)

I have also been re-reading the Harry Potter books. Always good! However, I just lost the HBP somewhere, so I can't finish right now. :P I tore apart my closet looking for it, but didn't find it. Ah well, at least I have a clean closet now ;)

Dan Brown He actually presents a lot of lies in The Da Vinci Code, though they're portrayed as truth. Of course, it IS fiction, but he makes it seem as if it's truth with his Fact page.

For example...He mentions the Council of Nicea with Constantine, claiming that they decided the deity of Christ with a vote, and that it was a close vote. Untrue. They were actually affirming their belief that Jesus was Christ. And the vote? 400 to 2 said that Jesus was who He said He was - not a close vote at all!

Anyways, I've written a whole paper on that...if anyone wants to hear more they can just pm me :stickout:

Last book I read was "Farenheit 453," (Or 451, can't remember) which is about like communism, where they don't allow you to read and don't want you to think. It was a cool book actually.

Now I'm reading the Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, which is also good so far.

right now, i'm reading "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire

its good so far, but i'm STILL jealous that i havent seen the PLAY.. gezz.. :mad:

oh well.. the books are always better.. just no music :rolleyes: lolHah yeah, books would be so cool if they came with music! :lol: And I should read that book...I'm dying to see Wicked, but still can't. Foo.

Anyway, I can't remember the last book I actually finished reading. The last thing I remember reading was either the Book of Ruth from the Bible or Wicked : The Grimmerie, a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Hit Broadway Musical which is totally awesome!
