Of course, wait and wait for the third Inheritance book, waiting for the epic final... then we're told that it's no longer three books but four. :roll:

There are :!: SPOILERS :!: to the last two books, and maybe even to this one, but I didn't see any for the third book.

Here's a load of info on the book, even how many pages it's gonna have. :lol:

Edit: Ok, a closer read through and I found possible spoilers to the third book, there are a few guesses at what'll happen in book 3, but I'm sure readers have made the same assumptions/guesses.

I just read, "It's a funny story" can't remember the author but it was good. It's about a depressed kid who checks himself into a mental institute after calling a suicide hotline. It's kind of sad but it's a good book. I also just finished "breaking dawn" which was quite different than the past three in the series but was good none the less.

Oh and oathbreaker, in eclipse, I hated Jacob black so much, but since I read breaking dawn, I don't know, he's OK I guess.

Just finished Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Funniest. Book. Ever. Periods.

Currently re-reading Eclipse from the Twilight saga, to recap before reading Breaking Dawn, the next book in the saga. Oh, yeah, and I'm about to start A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. :Twisted Evil:

I've been reading a book called Hood by Stephen Lawhead. As you may have guessed by the title, it's a Robin Hood book, but it tells the old sotry in a completely new way. I haven't had a lot of time to read it, but it's been excellent so far.

Directed at me? If so, then I'd definitely recommend it, if you like that kind of book.

Thanks, Most Unholy One. I'll be adding that to my "to read" list then.

I'm currently reading Small Favor by Jim Butcher. Then I'll have to wait until April for the next Dresden Files book. Oh, the suspense! Cactus told me that in the next book Warden Morgan comes crawling to Harry's door begging for his protection.

I am currently reading the "Lord of the Ring" series, and a 16 parts series called "Left Behind". Left Behind is a religious type book that takes place after the rapture. While I'm not exactly religious, it's a good series. I'm on book 3 of 16 as we speak, it'll be book four soon though. :)

Recently read Richard Matheson's What Dreams May Come. That was a brilliant book, I must say.

Still plodding through Clockwork Orange. If you've never read it, you should definitely do so. As long as you can keep up with the weird language. It might help if you know Russian, since most of it is based off of Russian. :P

Well I'm not really reading anything right now, but I would like to enlist the help of the people here who do read. I need a book pertaining to the Criminal Justice system for school. Either law enforcement, court system, or corrections. It can be fiction or non-fiction, but it has to be about the criminal justice system. I don't think a mystery story really counts, but if anyone has a suggestion, I'd really appreciate it. :D
