The Golden Compass

by Philip Pullman

Finished Today
Finally, a book that I can give the "girls" tag.

The Gods Themselves

by Isaac Asimov

Finished today.
I still love Asimov, but don't bother reading anything he wrote that was more than 200 pages or so. It was boring, even though it was about melty three-way alien sex and how in the future men and women on the moon will be hot and naked all the time.

[UPDATE: It was still a bit too long, but I liked this much better the second time I read it.]

Dog Day Afternoon

by Patrick Mann

Finished today.
Man, books from the 70's. Too much misogyny.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

by J.K. Rowling

Finished today.
And I thought I may be starting too late to finish them all by July 21st.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

by J.K. Rowling

Finished today.
The writing isn't as good as I remember, but I think the story is even better.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

by J.K. Rowling

These are more interesting the second time around. There's more to pick up on. Like, the Lovegoods live near the Weasleys?

Fantastic Voyage II; Destination: BRAIN!

by Isaac Asimov

Finished today.
I love Asimov, but this was pretty bad. Not just because it didn't teach me about brain structure like I had hoped.
