Well, again..I'm reading about 3 different books. I just finished a book on Norse mythology and started a book on Egyptian mythology. I've been trying to read Eldest, the second book in the Eragon series. Eragon was decent, way over-hyped in my opinion. Eldest is pretty bad so far. Heart-Shaped-Box by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) was great. Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things is a great collection of short stories, one of which is nominated for a Hugo Award. Michael Crichton's new one, Next, is OK if you like Crichton, but like alot of his recent books, it's full of plot holes and hardly any character development. Company by Max Barry is a good read and so is Barry's Jennifer Government.
