I never read any of the books when I was a kid, but after seeing the movie 'Narnia' I started reading the series...just finished 'The Magician's Nephew'. If anyone hasn't read these I recommened it. A quick easy read but a fun story

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I just finished The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri.

<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/The_Namesake.gif">

Fantastic book. I love Jhumpa Lahiri, have since I read Interpreter of Maladies my senior year of undergrad in my Senior Seminar class. I don't know if I want to see the movie, since I find that movies never really do books justice, and I'm worried I'll be disappointed, and that I'll never be able to read the book again and love it as much. And it was really a fantastic book. But I am curious as to how the director interpreted the book....and to see just how good of an actor Kumar is :P

I recently finished Charles in Charge. The story of how he came to live with the Pembroke's, and his first date with Gwendolyn Pierce!
