Not currently reading a book, but I recently ordered Jon Stewart's new book America.

Favorite book is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.

3. I loved all the Harry Potter books -- go ahead, laugh Naomi.
I've read all the Harry Potter books at least 3 times. I've also purchased the books on CD and I've listened to them while I'm at work at least 4 times It's a story that hasn't gotten old yet

Check out Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. That's a great book to read too. Quite different from the Harry Potter novels. It's a book similar to Lord of the Flies, but set on a Japanese island.

Yeah, it was a great book. I read it really quick because I didn't want to put the book down.

I thought I'd share two new books I just finished reading. The first is called The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason. The second is The Last Juror by John Grisham. I believe that both are on Amazon's top picks, so if you're into the suspense/mystery genre, I highly reccommend these two.

They would make a great addition to any holiday wishlist or as a stocking stuffer

Cheers~

I somewhat recently read Lord of the Rings and the Da Vinci Code. Actually it's been a while since I have picked up another book. I want to get "The Creature from Jekyll Island." I heard it was a nice, informative book.
