Reading and Writing for Fun? What happened?

Since I got here, I've read 5 books. I think that's more books than I read in the year prior to this exchange (except for Honors English books, ;) of course). And in addition I'm reading two books now, one in English and one in Spanish. Now if only I had some good books. Everything I've read has been okay, but I want something that people have heard of. I am also writing a lot. Sometimes I get in trouble in school for writing stories instead of doing math (bleh math, who ever used that?). I've been writing news articles, short stories, scripts, everything. I think now that I don't I can't really speak English, I have to get my fix of it other ways. It's kind of enjoyable though. Hopefully, I keep these new found hobbies next year when I'm taking 2 AP English courses.

Learn Spanish: Traje (trah hey) (suit)
Learn Quechua: Itki (it kee) (Sun)
