It's really quite sad eh? I know that I miss reading and then summer comes around and I think that I can't read another book and I make a trip to the library and find something that I am totally obsessed about and then my reading adventures begin. What school do you go to?

outlander by Diana Gabaldon
well written historical girly goodness

....with racy bits too!! *blush*
Outlander was Diana Gabaldon's first novel. She has a Ph.D in Marine Biology, I think. Outlander won a few prizes when it was first published. I've read the entire series twice. It's kind of like the Sword of Truth series, but for girls. :P
Fuck, just thinking about Claire and Jamie's love story sends shivers up and down my spine...

Cosmos is an unknown quantity at this point
i'm not at all a religious person, i'm trying to trek my way through the bible, as it was one of my useless last year new years resolutions to resolve before next new years... so i started reading the bible from new years onwards, and i'm not even half way through! why must they make the pages so thin, it doesn't seem so long, until you realise....it is, and then it's too late, you can't stop. it's really a horrid situation i'm in. adhd doesn't help either.

but ya, go illiteracy! wait...literacy! yay!

I am currently trudging through Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, a retardly LONG FUCKING NOVEL, but rather enticing to the mathematically inclined mind nonetheless.

But fuck almighty is this entertaining.

Also just beginning God Emperor of Dune, hoping to eventually finish that series.

Im pretty sure has a series using the relatives of the characters in that book.
It takes a little to get into but picks up well about a 1/3 of the way through.

The Baroque Cycle, which starts in Quicksilver, follows the same families about 200 years prior....

Haven't touched yet, but would like to check it out.
