    Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi.

    I already adored her and Ellen, but when I read that book I related a lot with Portia and they way she talks about Ellen is the most adorable thing ever. I almost squeed in delight, and I don't squee. Ever.

    After I finish that I'm going to crack open Life by Keith Richards.

    I'm a big fan of autobiographies.

    freaking love that book

    ---------- Post added 20th Apr 2011 at 10:26 PM ----------

    and im reading huck finn, we were doing this thing in ap lang&comp about censorship and we decided it would be a good choice since that whole thing with one printer replacing the n word with slave when refering to Jim, so its mostly to notice how censorship can change the author's origional intent. i actually like it so far though:slight_smile:

    Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku. Great fucking book. I'll be reading Physics of the Future next.

    I also recommend Michael Crichton's PREY for sci-fi fans.
