I'm currently reading Animal Farm.
Zack: Preppy, charming and totally gorgeous! Zach is a schemer who would rather stay up all night figuring how to get out of an exam than studying for it!

Slater: The All-American athlete with dimples to die for! Captain of Bayside's football team, Slater is a chauvinist who -- believe it or not -- has an emotional side. What a combo!

Screech: Class clown and electronic genius! When Screech turns on the power, the fun never stops!

I'm currently reading Stephen King's Dark Towers series. I just finished part I and I liked it.

I'm probably going to either read my Discworld Omnibus again or going to the library to pick up Dark Tower 2.

I don't mean everything, even though I accidentally said that, but recent stuff.

Like, my list is just this year and shit.

Actually, just do whatever you want with this. I don't care.
