This seem like a rather vague topic.

I hope to read the first book in Eragon and Sabriel. Hopefully I like both so I can read more in the series.

Well...the month's not over yet, so I can only go with what I've read SO FAR this month

Erica Kennedy's "Bling." This wasn't bad. I didn't think that she had to go with so much back story...and the asides to explain things...but it worked all right for her first novel. Not bad overall.

Chuck Palahniuk's "Choke." I figured that this would be a lot like "Fight Club," seeing as the latter novel was the one that made this guy famous. But, it's not like it at all. It's a pretty good read if you like Chuck P's fast-paced and really weird writing style.

I re-read Stephen King's "The Bachman Books." The old edition with "Rage." You know - before he became concerned about the whole school shootings thing and had that novella replaced with "Thinner." Yuck.

Oh, and I also read "Cell" (another King novel). It's not as good as some of his older books. I liked it, but not enough to re-read at some point in the future.

Right now I'm waiting for Anthony Swofford's "Jarhead" to show up. I saw the film and really want to read the book because I'm betting that the guy's novel explains things more thoroughly. As in, why in the world the unit did half of the things that they did...what was on the guy's mind...that sort of thing. The stuff that the movies can't often show us.

I'm reading Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson. Its a good book simply becuase it keeps you laughing all the way through, especially due to the fact that you can relate to every observation and opinion expressed.

Hey Husker I just read Eragon too, It was ok. I read all of the Brians books, ( By Gary Paulson ) In two days, yea they are kind of easy but very enjoyable. I like books about people surviving in the wilderness.

I'm currently reading The Exquisite Thing, an erotic novel by Joyce Maciver. )@mn, I'd like to write like her! Erotic, hot, yet at the same time subtle and non-vulgar

Oh, and while I'm at it, I'd also like her heroine's power of seduction

Personally, i do not have time to read books for fun anymore. Between working, college, research and fraternity events and such i spend most of my time reading school books. This past week i read about 15 different research papers published in SIGRAPH about real time render of plants, soft shadows, hard shadows, prt, etc. that i need for research. They are hard core programming papers but are very interesting and the realistic graphics they produce is amazing. For me, this is somewhat my fun reading cause its much better than a book for women's studies or something like that
