i was reading Eragon earlier this summer but i stopped because i didn' like it so much.

'The Lovely Bones' was a fantastic book - I loved it! After finishing that one I read 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven', which I read in one sitting - a great and though provoking story!

i like the sisterhood of the travelling pants...i thought the first one was the best..the other two kinda went downhill from there for me

Anything by Brent Ellis i.e. American Psyco is a head trip. An I mean serious head trip most of his stuff is like a good car wreck you know you should put it down but you just can't.

Anything by Neil Gainman is BRILLIANT! Try American Gods, or "Good Omens" great reads.

Roger Zlazney is pretty awsome for Fiction Fantsy. He wrote a whole series called "The Cronicals of Amber" that are great reads.

I actually just put in an order to get "Breackfast on Pluto" by McCabe so I'lll be laetting you all knowhoiw that is when i'm done with it.

Cheers

An excellent nonfiction book is The Long Walk by Slavomir Raciwz. The last really good fiction book I read (that wasn't for school) was The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.

What is everyone reading right now?

I've seen the movie butcher Boy" but never read the book. The movie is a trip buit i liked it.
Just got done with BOP.
LOVED IT! I can't wait for the movie now. I could see Cillian on ever y page as I read I'm very curious to see if my minds eye matched up at all to his performance. It's dew out soon in theaters isn't it?

I think Oliver Twist would be one of my all time favorite books. If asked, however, my answer would be the Orson Scott Card series "Ender's Game." I hope that has been mentioned. He ahs now written....9 books I think? I personally like the Bean or, "Ender's Shadow" series best, but they are all awesome. I have a book on how to write by him that is where I consult all of my writing. He's amazing.

Um...currently....Well, I am working on the last book of the Ender's Shadow series, just read the latest book in the Pendragon series *children's but awesome* and the Last of the Jedi series.
