Don Quixote is not as hard to digest as one might think, but it can be an undertaking if you're not fluent in Spanish. If you'd like something shorter I recommend any of Borges' short fiction, it's some of the best stuff you'll read in Spanish.

I'm reading Stephen King's Four Past Midnight - currently on The Langoliers. It's great, but not his best.
Also re-reading HP & The Goblet of Fire. I luuuuurve that opening chapter about the Riddle Mansion.
On my list to read: Twilight Robbery by Frances Hardinge, The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier, and Perfume: Story of a Murderer by Patrick Surskind. Also must really finish Crime and Punishment. That's effing brilliant btw, if anyone hasn't tried it. The Russian names are a lot to remember, though...

It still irks me when people call the book by that name. I will never understand why the US decided that the "Philosopher's Stone" wasn't suitable.

Nobody in the US knows what the hell a philosopher is.
In case you haven't noticed, our general modern society isn't really known for intelligence.
"Stupid Americans" etc.

Disney Princesses : Happily Ever After....
Alright I'll check some of those out =) Thanks!
And Snoozing Snorlax, I think everyone should read the Inheritance series, they're some of the best fantasy books out there!

But 'The Philosopher's Stone' is quite a well known legend. They didn't say that Ed and Al were searching for 'The Sorcerer's Stone' in the FMA english dub, did they?
Woohoo for all the Harry Potter readers/re-readers. And for Lemony Snicket :3 I just discovered those books...damn, they're a lot of fun. Plus it's fun to read what is clearly a kid's book on my college bus (I'm 22). Everyone around me has their psychology and history textbooks out; and there I am with The Reptile Room. Classic.

Currently halfway through Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It's for 9th grade Lit.
Every time I pick it up, a paragraph through I feel like bashing my skull in with the book.

I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through Smoke and Mirrors, a collection of short stories by Neil Gaiman. I'm on kind of a Neil Gaiman kick. I've read Good Omens, Coraline, Stardust, Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book, and I still have American Gods and Anansi Boys waiting in the wings x)
