Ya know I bought the audiobook for The Time Traveler's Wife, which was a huge mistake...'cause it was actually really raunchy.

I recently picked up an old Tom Clancy book I missplaced.

I'm a sucker for a war story.

I just bought Kurt Vonnegut's 'Timequake'. I really hope it's good.

^I love "The Great Gatsby!" It's such an enchanting love story... if you like it, try reading Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise." It's a bit more contemporary has a wicked sense of humor.

I'm reading "Snow," by Orhan Pamuk, and "The Torrents of Spring," by Ivan Turgenev.

I was just about to say that I loved "The Great Gatsby" and then saw you'd already got there first! I actually like "Tender Is the Night" the most out of all Fitzgerald's books.

Well "Timequake" was something of a let down. I'm probably going to read "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" next, seeing as a friend got it for me for my birthday. It should be an interesting read if nothing else!

Nothing... but I want more of the books from the Sweep series. Why does it have to be 14 books long. XD

Well, I am rereading New Moon in preparation for the movie.

I thought Sweep was 15 books long? Well sort of, there's that "special" something or other, which is basically book 15. Although I haven't read it. How far have you read?

Eragon, by Christopher Paolini.

I've come to the conclusion it's a rip-off of Lord of the Rings, contains pretty much every fantasy cliche possible and has a stupid plot.

But it's entertaining. And cool. So I'm not going to get too analytical.

^^ Well, I think it's a good read so far, entertaining with lots of fighting and nic eimagery and so forth. I've only read part of the first book so I'm not the best to ask.

The only problem is that the plot is quite cliche and so are the characters...if I looked too hard I'd probably find lots I didn't like.

I wouldn't buy it straight away, but I'd definitely read it from a library or something first and if you like it, then go ahead.

^^^ I always joke that Eragon is Harry Potter meets Star Wars set in Middle Earth. Alright, but nothing particularly new or interesting.

God, I couldn't get through Eragon. It may just be me being picky, but the majority of the chapters ended with something like
"and suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his head, and fell into darkness."
or
"he allowed the darkness of sleep to overcome him."
or
"he lay his head down, closing his eyes and succumbing to the darkness."

I mean really! There are better ways to end chapters.
