As a kid my favorite series was Encyclopedia Brown. I loved trying to solve the mysteries on my own before reading the solution in the back.

Currently, I'm reading World War Z in tiny pieces at a time. I hang out in the book and magazine section during lunch breaks and I never have the money on me to just buy the book.
Oh oh oh! Enjoy World War Z! I'm a little hazy on the story details at this point but I remember enjoying it.

As for what I'm reading... I'm spending most of my reading time with Another by Yukito Ayatsuji (and this is the Another that was adapted into a manga and anime). I've already read the manga, so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the story, but I rather enjoy reading a novel more than manga because of the differences between having an image and having a description in words.

I know what you mean, since watching the movie version of a book is really painful for me. Since reading The Wizard of Oz, I don't think I can watch any of the Oz movies now.

On the comic front, I have the grapic novel "Mad Love", which is Harley Quinn's (from Batman: The Animated Series) origin story. I was so excited when I learned they were going to animate the story. That quickly turned to disappointment when the cadence of the action and dialogue was nowhere near my timing.
Mazel's current mood is:

You never can win
it's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
follow it through
But how can you
when you're split in two?

The horror.
I forgot to put in my original post that I read Naruto every week. Things have been going downhill for a while now, but recent events seem to be spicing things up a bit in the manga.

I think I've decided, when I finish 'The catcher in the rye' (which should be in the next few days), I'll start a book called Battle Royale. Thank to Cracked for reminding me of it.

I'm currently reading Little Woman, my first classic and I must say reading this is quite diffcult. The phase in the story never... well change or get my interest to keep reading. Well, most of the time. I like Jo, she's my favorite. Her problems reminding me of myself sometimes.

I'm rereading White Fang. From the beginning, I loved the way the animals were portrayed, so realistic, yet with tons of personality~

Also in the middle of Corpse Party- Blood Covered manga. So far, I like it!

I couldn't resist reading more (Dat)AssClass after watching the latest episode. With a confirmed season 2 coming already, I'll probably read the manga too, just to fill my lust for more Class E madness.

I'm actually trying to refrain from reading Assassination Classroom's manga.
The twist in the latest episode was fantastic, and I think I'd prefer to experience the story through the anime.

Any ways, I don't read too much, but my favorite book of all time is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Not gonna lie, the book AND the movie made me tear up.

AssClass' manga is still very fine, even if it's just a manga, so I'm still enjoying very much. (Plus, I can imagine animation in my head any day. :P ) Besides that, even with a second season, I doubt they can cover even the more later chapters, based on the pace they have on the first season, by the time S2 starts. I think AssClass S1 will end on inside Chapter 70-75, most likely on the early 70's, if I remember correctly. (EDIT: Chapter 72) Things get juicy on the later chapters, so I'm gonna go on ahead and read. Though, even if I know of the events, a real animation of the story will be a nice thing to see still.
After AssClass, I'm gonna head to Shokugeki no Souma since food and nice art.
