I'll probably start Adrian Phoenix's "Rush of Wings" soon. The cover art makes it look like everything else on the vampire front these days, but it's been getting really good reviews.

thedelicateflower: His Dark Materials trilogy is set in a parallel universe.

Now reading Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley.

This is the same author who wrote The Hero and the Crown, which is an excellent novel, and been around for quite some years. Definitely worth the read, if you've never read it before.

Anyone seen/used that new Kindle deviceKindle device that Amazon is hawking, basically a dedicated handheld electronic book reader? It looks kinda neet, and has wide area broadband connectivity (uses wireless broadband), but it's still hella expensive.

i read 40 pages at Barnes and Noble...i figured i should just buy the damn thing.
so far it's really captivating. Neil is a great observer, and he remembers place names and motel names with ease. I found that funny.
100 pages in, i really dig it...

yeah i know what you're talking about...still can't beat having a great story told TO YOU, instead of having to read it though. I'm not a huge fan of physically reading, but love story time! HAHAHA!
