    I was walking around Chapters, with no clue what I was to buy since all the good stuff comes out in the Fall, when I stumbled upon the Fantasy section and saw "Legends of the Dragonrealm" by Richard A. Knaak. I frisked through it and saw it looked pretty decent, so I picked it up. It was that or "The Dragon with the Girl tatoo".

    Wow that is a far cry.

    I read The Da Vinci Code when it first came out and I enjoyed it, but I've found everything else Dan Brown has written to be completely intolerable.

    I read The Digital Fortress, and it's an exceptional example of a book that could be 1/4 of the lenght and still have virtually the same amount of content.

    Mr. Brown is unable to create varied characters in my opinion, the characters he created for Digital Fortress were reflections of his Da Vinci Code characters. same one-dimensional, predictable, unreal protagonist and the same boring and uninspired secondary characters.

    I attempted reading Angels and Demons at some point, couldn't continue after 100 or so pages because it felt like I was reading The Da Vinci Code again.

    It's like I can't tell if the prose is trying to fight me or fuck me.
    Either way, I'm into it.

    Finally getting around to reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, the third and final book in the Hunger Games trilogy.
    It's been forever and a day since I read the previous book though, so I've been feeling just a little bit lost.

    And it is boss.

    Lord of the Flies for summer reading- that book is the first book to legitamately scare me in a long time.
        Spoiler:- What's Scary:
    I'm sorry, were you expecting some kind of epic signature here?

    Current works:
    A Modern Atlantis- Bioshock/Doctor Who crossover (FINALLY WRITING CHAPTER 3! Will post soon!)
    -When a perfectly mundane trip to the ocean floor causes the Doctor and his companions to discover an underwater city, they find a utopia that is anything but. (Rated PG-14 for language and violence)

    I'm currently reading two books... One for pleasure (Passion by Kate Lauren) and one so I don't feel like four years of college are going down the drain (Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective by Ha-Joon Chang)

    How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker. So far it's a lot more technical than the other of his books I've read, but the subject matter is fascinating.

    This was a great allegorical book. I read it this year for English and I'm glad I did. [Then we read Maus and I liked that even better... but still, great book.]

    At the moment I'm reading Dave Barry Slept Here by Dave Barry. Hilarious book about the history of the USA, one of the funniest books I've read in a while.

    I'm also (yes, 2 books at once) reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. This is my 4th time reading it, and let me tell you, it's my FAVORITE BOOK EVAR. Anyone reading this post: GO AND READ IT. It's funny, exciting, and a great page turner.
