Coraline!

How is it? I like Neil Gaiman, but I have so little money to spend on books that I want to be absolutely sure a book is worth buying before I do so.

It's... creepy and AWESOME.

I'm attempting to collect them all, have around 20 of them now. But it's taken me seven years to get there The library is a good friend in this case.

damn, that is a pain to write. If I could just read the damn book, I wouldn't need to type it

[Leilah]

I am reading Middlemarch by George Eliot. For the second time. I wish I never even had to read it the first time, but it was either that or Paradise Lost.

[DerangedPickle]

I'm reading the book Brisingr (Book 3 of the inheritance series)

Heres a brief overveiw of the first book:

Eragon a younf Farmboy discovers an odd blue stone that turns out to be an dragon egg, the egg hatches for him, making him one of the legendary dragon riders, Eragon sets off on an adventure with the town storyteller Brom who teaches him how to fight and use magic he also give him a remrkable balde callled Zarroc.

After a while of adventuring with Brom, Eragon meets a man called Murtagh who helps him save an elf called Arya from a place named Gil'ead, the group travel across the desert Eragon, Saphira ( The now fully grown dragon), Murtagh and Arya to meet the Varden, a group that oppeses the king Galbatorix who is has lived for thousands of years and is a tyranical ruler.

The king finds out where the Varden ase is and send an army of Urgals ( A race that works for him) to attack the Varden, an epic battle ensues.

(I couldn't say too much incase I gave away the plot without realising my origional post was longer and went into detail about the characters but my computer refreshed the page randomly before I could post)

/facepalm Sorry. You are right. Not sure how I messed that up.

Currently, my urging of my dear pop, I am reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. Surprisingly I like it. I always assumed I wouldn't like a book if it wasn't fantasy or fiction. Guess I was wrong.

I only got that book last year and have read it at least 3 times. it was awesome, but a bit more political than his other two, what with the deciding of the new dwarf king and all. But all in all, very good book indeed. I like how I can see his writing skill improve with each book he writes too, like I see him maturing. I almost view Eragon as Paolini himself; he is constantly growing up way to fast, being presented with problems that most men will never face in their life time. Any one else get this? Or am I even making any sense?

Makes sense to me because I see it too, i'm loving that book i'm literaly covering 100 pages every night, just the night aswell as with Eragon and Eldest I was covering about 30 every night.

Check your sources. The Libertines have been back together for a few momths now.

Anyway, I should post what I'm reading. It's called Dead Souls. It's a piece of classical Russian literature, so it's practically Norroen Dyrd's dream.

I'm currently re-reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. Seeing as I recently discovered that my younger brother has minor Asperger's I thought it would be interesting to go back and have a look at other takes on the syndrome. That, and it's really just a nice book.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Today I will start reading the novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
