Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

I am reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe which is the second book in the Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy series. The writer has opened my mind to a lot of different ideas about the universe. The way he writes everything has to have humor in it and the characters are amazing I've got no clue how he comes up with them.

DragonLance Dragons of the Spring Dawning By: Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

The reason I like the Book DragonLance By: Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman is because the authors hold your attention with breathtaking aerial acton and fights between dragons and knights. There is also a betrayal from several fronts death of a very powerful enemy and sacrifices for love. Quests to the depths of the DragonLance world also the style is extravagant and your eyes will remain glued to the book. When I read the books for the first time I wasn't sure if I would like them, but as time passed I felt that I couldn't concentrate when the book was at the edge of my mind. It was like an itch in the one part of your back that you can't reach.

Betrayal By Arron Allston

Eldest By: Christopher Paolini

I liked the book Eldest By: Christopher Paolini because he has a way with his writing that keeps your eyes glued to the book even when you know you should be going to bed or be doing something else. Just a few days ago I looked at my clock and it said 8:30 PM. I told myself that I could go a little while longer with the book, the next thing I knew it was almost 11:00 PM. It felt like I had been reading for no more than 45 minutes. I coundn't believe that that much time had gone by. So naturally I went and checked all the clocks in my house they all said the same thing. I decided that I would finish Eldest the next day. I was upset that I didn't finish the book because it is such a good book. Christopher Paolini is such a good author that I wiil definetly get the 4th book which comes out November 8, 2011. Also I will read the 3 that are out over and over again.

Dragon Champion

I just finished a book called Dragon Champion By E. E. Knight. The book starts with a fight between a scaleless dragon and it's red scaled brother. The reason this happens is because all male dragons fight for who gets to live in the nest whoever wins gets the nest with his mom. The dragon who becomes champion of the nest is named AuRon. AuRon is a very rare breed of dragon one reason is because he is a grey dragon and another is because his skin changes color depending on his environment. Also he doesn't make noise as he climbs because he doesn't have scales. AuRon grows and has to run because away because their nest is found by dwarves and elves who are dragon slayers created by the elemental powers that you find out about earlier in the book. AuRon gets captured soon after escaping the nest with his sister. Then as the book draws to a close AuRon is trying to find the dragons weakness. He finds it but has to kill hundreds of people to find his answer.

Jungle of the pygmies

I'm now reading the third book in one of Isabel Allende's series. I've only read the first 20 pages of the book but so far its been awesome with lots of hidden humor. From what I understand this trip they take in Africa is supposed to be completely harmless yet from what I know from the other books the characters have a certain knack for collecting trouble.

Books I Have Been Reading: GEB and Foundling

Hello ATA. It has been a long while since I posted here, but non-the-less, I felt like sharing a little. I cannot promise that I will be back to respond to comments, but we shall see.

Two books I have finish in the past months are: Godel, Escher, Bach (GEB) [Wikipedia] (by Douglas Hofstadter) and Foundling [Wikipedia] (by D. M. Cornish). While they are completely different (maybe the only similarities are they both were in English, and bound in soft cover), I would recommend both of them, but perhaps to different audiences.

The first, GEB, is a tomb of a book that talks about, primarily, the inter-connectivity of field of knowledge, such as Music and Math, or Genetics and Logical systems. It speaks primarily of communication, storage, and rigorous definition of knowledge. It was written in the 1970's, so his theories about computers are sometimes a bit dated, however, the way he approached the topic is still interesting. This intensely intellectual book is not for the faint of heart… I took me nearly eight month to finish (not that that was the only book that I was reading). I first heard of the book from Mr. Britch, who quite liked it, for good reason. The author does a fantastic job of connecting many fields of knowledge, in an understandable, interesting way.

The second book, Foundling, by D.M. Cornish, was a great book as well. This I would highly recommend it to those who like fantasy/sci-fi novels. The author's first book, Foundling takes place in a painstakingly detailed world, quite different from our own. (The world is populated by "monsters" and humans, who fight for land, with chemical "potives"… I cannot give it its due at all, my apologies for this attempt) The reality with which the world is constructed makes the book gripping in it self. If that was not enough, the tail that is woven intrigues the reader. I have now read the second book in the Trilogy, and am starting the third, and I remain quite enthralled. One slightly strange thing I notices was the feel that throughout the book something more was going to happen… and it never did. While the story is geared to the YA or J groups, adults would still enjoy it, but it might be a little scary for those of the younger disposition (but not that bad at all).
