    What are the last three books you read? That's books....not magazines ya' bunch of pervs. Here's mine : Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, You Suck by Christopher Moore, and Slammerkin by Emma Donnaghue. I love black humor and tend to gravitate towards fiction. So lay it on me...what do you like?

    I prefer history or fantasy (what a combination). I've read most of the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. When I started, I thought it was a trilogy but they just kept coming and coming. Unfortunately, Jordan died before he could complete the series.

    You never know? Tupac keeps coming out with new albums and he died in September of 1996 and his last album came out in August 2007. You could alway cross your fingers that they have the same publicist.:D

    Peony In Love by Lisa See (sad, strange book)
    Taming The Beast by Emily Maguire (icky, weird)
    Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir (tragic)

    I am currently reading The Secret Bride by Diane Haeger about Mary Tudor, King Henry VIII's sister.

    I have read some books on Henry the 8th's wives. Good reads, but a lot of freaking names.

    Yah I got ya'. Student reading is pretty lame. Somehow Physics and Microbi. don't sound that cool do they. Been there, done that. That's why I took some fun elective classes so I didn't turn out to be a weirdo academic without any social skills :p

    I actually liked most of them and would prolly had read on them for fun. The pharmacology text sucked but the others were pretty good reading.. Still working on that fundamentals of nursing.. thing is thick as a brick and wieghs 8 pounds. Took 6 or 7 hours to do 1 chapter several times.. :eek:

    Some chapters are short and sweet but others.. holy crap.

    Oh no. Wez is a nerd after all. Are you like my organic chemistry partner? He used to sweat profusely and every time I would talk to him he would stutter painfully. I bet he loved reading chemistry texts. Of course he may have just had a difficult time staring into my giant lidless eye :p

    Books are better than TV and far more detailed.
