Default Re: Books: What are you reading tonight?

I finished To Kill a Mockingbird a couple days ago. I still think too much of it was slow moving, but it picks up really well in the second half. I watched the movie the night I finished the book and thought that Atticus in the movie was way more of a forefront character than in the book. I understand why this was necessary in the movie, and I really liked the change.

I started Perks of Being a Wallflowr yesterday and finished it this morning. It was a really quick read that I enjoyed throughout. There weren't too many downspots. The novel as a whole is a little extreme/unrealistic, but if you take it bit by bit, it's a pretty entertaining novel that is probably worth reading by the older high school crowd.

I'll be starting on Skeleton Crew by Stephen King tonight or sometime this week. Mostly, this is because I want to read "The Mist."

Hope everyone still has their noses in some good books!
