Questions in the title, what novel are you reading? At the moment I'm reading Sailing to Sarantium, as I wait for my book store to get a copy of Speaker for the dead (Enders game sequel) it's pretty good so far, probably going to read the sequel to it too.

A very interesting tale of the HeLa cells and the woman behind them, which have helped with things as big as the polio vaccine. Pretty schweet

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

I don't think I've ever read the Harry Potter series, although I've read at least parts of some books and watched parts of some movies so I guess that counts?

Anyways I haven't finished a book in like 2 weeks and the last book I read was Crime and Punishment, so yeah... no

I forget how many pages long it is, but the description of hell in Dubliners is amazing. One of many great reasons to flush organized religions down the toilet.

I'm learning bread baking from the Tartine Bread book. If you want to make EPIC pizza, look no further. I'm living proof.

I'm on goodreads, apparently I am currently reading 22 books...and have 159 more on my to-read list. Some of those I haven't picked up in over a year.

Trying to do at least 30 books a year while learning spanish and getting my math up to par on Khan Academy.
