Nadia: Yes, I love Boxer, too. I like old Benjamin as well. You'll have to tell me what you think of the book when you finish. I just finished it last night.

Right now I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell because I need to read it for school. It's actually quite good so far. I would highly recomend the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. They amaze me. I'm probably the only person on earth that didn't like the Dark Materials Triology. I don't even know why, but I found it so irritating that I couldn't even pick up the 2nd book after reading the first. I like plenty of other fantasy books but them *shakes head*

i liked the first two but the second one i couldn't stand, but if you dont like the first then you wont like the second. in my view the first was the best, that first book is what got me into reading and what got me into fantasy especially. i havn't read them in years though so im not sure if i'll still like them.

I quite liked the books, but there are some elements in the book which really gets on my nerves. Some places where it just seems like the write doesn't really know what he's doing... But all in all I really quite liked them:)

I highly recommend Little Women by Lousia May Alcott. Usually I go for fantasy/adventure books, but seriously, this is one of the best books I have read. It might sound like it would be dull, but the writing style is very captivating and entertaining and there is just the right amount of humor, romance, sadness.....I Love it!
