For Shakespeare, I always read the play once through without any help then read the "No Fear Shakespeare" version on Sparknotes to make sure I understood everything. Sometimes the "No Fear" version is hilarious the way it condenses a 20 line speech into like three words.

I'm currently reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the umpteenth time and started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this morning. I left that at school, so since I have to wait for the weekend to end to get it, I started reading The Alchemyst: Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

I'm reading through Fight Club again because we're going to be studying it in English.

I ought to be finishing up Gulliver's Travels, as I intend to use it on my final. Though as it's a random draw of choices, I ought to be both starting and finishing a reasonably sized list of other candidates as well.

Jealous! That is so cool.

I've gone back to Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger after I abandoned it for other pursuits.

Taking up the reigns of Oliver Twist again. Preferably, this time, to see it to its correct end.

Several, actually. But my favorite would have to be Demons of the Ocean.
