I'm re-reading Middlesex by Jeffry Eugenides. I kept pushing it back because of classes, etc. but the need to read the book was persistent, like a nagging itch right under the skin, so last night I retrieved it from the suitcase I used over srping break, and stayed up until 3:30 reading and watching anime on Adult Swim (I'm beginning to like Neon Genesis Evangelion more and more).
It's a hardcover-my parents are conservative, and was in highschool and didn't have a job, so I had to scrimp to buy it. I wouldn't sell it for anything.
On my re-read list:
Lolita-Vladimir Nabokov
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Love in the Time of Cholera (last two by Gabriel Garcia Marquez).
***Your Five Factor Personality Profile***
Extroversion:

You have high conscientiousness.
Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life.
Most things in your life are organized and planned well.
But you borderline on being a total perfectionist.
Agreeableness:
You have medium agreeableness.
You're generally a friendly and trusting person.
But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism.
You get along well with others, as long as they play fair.
Neuroticism:
You have high neuroticism.
It's easy for you to feel shaken, worried, or depressed.
You often worry, and your worries prevent you from living life fully.
You tend to be emotionally reactive and moody. Your either flying very high or feeling very low.

Your openness to new experiences is high.
In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas.
You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits.
A great connoisseir of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.
