I admit, I lost.

But yeah, I don't read children's books very often. The last children's book I read was stuff from the Redwall series.

Fucking yesssss

I love those books with a burning passion.

I haven't gotten into anything raunchy, but I think I'm close.

The story itself isn't smutty. But it implies a whole lot. Great novel. Except for that one super long chapter in the middle explaining Dorian's various obsessions and trends. Longest chapter in the book, entirely made up of descriptions and imagery. <____>

Brought Raymond E. Feist's Magician series to school for some light reading. Again.

Reading Hollow Fields, which is not a manga as I had first thought, but an American comic book. That reads right to left.
Why would you do that?
Also plan on reading Ender's Game sometime in the future.
