Hey!
I see you are into the fantacy books... have you read Eragon and Eldest??? If not you really NEED TO!!! They are soo good and I'm going through withdrawls waiting for Empire to comeout!
I've read a few of these. They are very good!
I'm reading "Murder in Tombstone", a detailed account of the investigation and preliminary hearings of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. With my background and history in Tombstone, I find any new assessment interesting.
I am reading the Sight right now.. I forget who the author is and the book is up in my room
But it's an awesoem book if you like reading about animals. It's a fantasy book about a family of wolves.. I think it's an awesome book.

Just found out that Rita Mae Brown has a new Mrs. Murphy mystery: Sour Puss. I have already reserved it, at the library.
I have also reserved James Swanson's "Manhunt". It is about the search for John Wilkes Booth, after he assasinated Lincoln.

I've read soooooo much in the last couple weeks for school its not funny, but I love to read so its good.
I just finished reading a journal article on the medicine wheel and To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I'm writing a paper on how I think many people mistake the character Atticus for a hero when he is not and that he is truely socially prejudice against people of lower social class. I believe it should be good.

I've been on a young adult kick lately. In the last month I've read:
Warriors #2 & #3
Chronicles Of Narnia #1 & currently reading #2 The Lion, The Witch, And The Warddrobe
Eldest (Inheritance #2)
And then a prehistoric fiction:
People Of The Wolf (First North American Series #1)
I got really into Jean Auel's books The Earths Children (Clan Of The Cave Bear and the rest). She is teasing us by coming out with a book what seems to be every 20 years.... So I decided to branch out and find other prehistoric fictions. This one was good and had a unique style. Haven't decided yet if I will continue the series though.
It probably won't take long to finish the Narnia series as those books are so short. I'm going to pick up #4 of Warrior tonight.
I also really like Science Fiction and can you believe I've never read any Michael Crighton? The next novel I will read will be by him...The question is which one? I think I will read State Of Fear.

I'm listening to the Valley of Horses right now (Auel) - I've only ever read through part of the Mammoth Hunters. For some reason I got bored with that one. We'll see if it's more exciting now that I've aged a bit.
Have you read Jurassic Park? That's a great one. Timeline is good too. My husband just read State of Fear and liked it.

As much as I love Auel there are a few things she does that can easily start to annoy you. Time passes SO slowly. In Vally Of Horses you are waiting forever and ever for Ayla and Jondular to meet and it will take forever. In subsequent books there is a lot of stupid quarels that are huge misunderstandings (Mammoth Hunters). In Plains Of Passage its hard to get through because they travel the whole book and you desparetly want them to get home. I won't say exactly what happens in Shelters of Stone as I don'twant to spoil anything but again you are waiting for something to happen for the entire book. So...its a love/hate relationship with that series. I love it so much for the overall story...but she loves details and she loves arguments and she loves tantalizing the reader by making things take forever
. Ooooh and she LOVES cliffhangers! Of all her books Clan Of The Cavebear was excellent. I read this series way to young though, it takes a more mature reader.I've wanted to read Jurassic Park but feel that I know the story and want to read some of his others. All of my coworkers have read State Of Fear and really loved it.
