Last thing I read for enjoyment was The Fountainhead or was it The Fountain Head... Not sure. Started off as something I was reading for a scholarship, deadline passed but I enjoyed the book enough to keep reading it. xD Never finished it though as it was due and I had already renewed it once at the library. Been too lazy to check it out again.

Not sure if you'll like the book though... Some parts are boring, I actually had to force myself pass the intro into a part I found more interesting. What's it about? Ummm... *shrugs* I'm sure if I thought hard enough, I could name the themes and such. XD Anyways, starts off with a guy who just got expelled from uni but decides to go into the world and do who he enjoys most anyway, architecture.

What else did I read senior year? Hmm... Don't remember. :/ My brain is kinda tired now.

Edit: Oh wait, I'm wrong, last thing I read for enjoyment was Harry Potter book 6. xD Well, not so much for enjoyment as Book 7 was coming out the next day and I felt the desire to finally catch up. One year later, I'll get around to reading book 7.

@ Esen- My oldest brother{NOT SEC!} is reading the FountainHead, he had started it a while ago and never got to finish it, so his gf gave him it for x-mas along with two other books. && I read the 7th Harry Potter book in like 3 days while Sec read it in like less than 1 day(D<) and my oldest brother took the longest since he was always working and stuff.

I don't read much (actually, I hardly read, LOL) but my favourite books are the Ancient Future Trilogy by Traci Harding. First book is The Ancient Future, second is An Echo in Time, and the third is Masters of Reality.

They're science fiction.

And I read on Wiki that they are starting to make a movie on the first book! YESSSS!!

Have you read the "His Dark Materials" trilogy?

The movie "The Golden Compass" was based on the novels. I had to read it for school, wasn't that bad.

Haha, the books went from getting longer to getting shorter so I might read book 7 in a day. Did that with 6. Reading book 5 was the most painful for me though, which is funny as I took breaks and read it over a span of a week.

Like dragons? Like Pern? xD I find it sad I claim that to be on of my favorite series, yet I just remember it now.

I used to enjoy reading for fun, but haven't been reading much lately. To lazy to get to a library. xD

Ooh, Ayn Rand. My favorite Russian author.

I would recommend Atlas Shrugged over The Fountainhead, simply based on the fact that -everyone- reads The Fountainhead.

But all of her books are superb.
