Salmon of Dought by Douglas Adams. It's awsome. A colaboration of short stories and articles written by Douglas that his freinds found on his old Mac after he died. It's a perfect tribute to the greatest author ever (or at leats from my point of view, the greatest author ever). :mrgreen:

Chapter 15 of the big read. AKA, the Gnome Chapter. One which is probably gonna get way slimmed down in the end. But it's so fun. XD

Alex’s head swerved, nonchalantly soaking in the dappled green carpet, when his line of sight snagged. Dear Lord, there it was again! And Alex was confident that it hadn’t been standing there when he sat down. There was no doubting that it was the same one. It had the same chip in the plaster making up its overalls, and why would all the gnomes on the campus be in that exact same pose? Even the dotty old ladies that had lived down the block from him didn’t have repeats on their lawns, and they had so many lawn gnomes in their front yards that it ought to be violating some zoning ordinance. It looked almost derisively at him, curling its rough, stony plaster beard around one of its token four fingers.

Well, school's in full motion now. In my English Honours class, reading a novel is a requirement. I didn't have any novels at home that interested me, so I signed one out from our classroom. So, I selected a book called "Tell No One" by Harlan Coben. I haven't started it yet, but I guess I should start it up soon. It's about a man named Dr. David Beck who lost his wife eight years ago. The twist is, he soon receives a message on his computer containing a phrase only he and his wife know. So he soon embarks on a whirlwind, suspense-filled quest to track her down. But he's been warned to tell no one...

Dun, dun, duuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn!

Mondo agreement. Question: are you waiting in anxious anticipation for the movie version, or are you dreading it in case it ruins the book?

I know this question wasn't directed to me, but I'ma answer it anyway. I'm excited for the movie, yet afraid that it won't do the book justice. They cut a LOT of subplot-type stuff out of the GoF movie, and they're gonna have to do the same with OotP. It's just too dang long. I'm scared to see what they'll cut.

I'm 50-60 pages into The Hidden King, final book in The Charlie Bone Quintet. It's pretty good so far, and the opening plot is very mysterious(but still very well written).

After that, I plan to restart The Opal Deception, fourth Artemis Fowl, because I got bored of that. And now that I got the fifth book, Lost Colony, I'm going to read that after.

Then the Gregor series should play along nicely, and by then The King Cobra of Kathmanduu and last Harry Potter should be out.

Yay for words written on white paper that tell a story placed inside of a colorful packaging!

I'm so happy about all these Pratchett fans. It gives me a warm feeling. He's so wonderful, I think everyone should read him.

I just finished reading The Angel's Command by Brian Jacques. I'll go read The Seeing Stone next. Though I don't really find it enjoyable. But I have to finish it.

NO LOST COLONY SPOILERS PLEASE! I still have to buy it. >< I have sooo much on my plate to read... I'm behind... gah. But I'm 3/4ths of the way done with my book! Yipee! And my co-author and I thought of a GREAT idea for the series! and I really wanna start writing the second one... Ah well.

I wonder if I'll have any fans on the forum once I get it published. XD

I'm not quoting you so I don't see the spoilers. XD

Anyway, I'm actually looking for beta readers (as it were). Do you like the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane? Because my book is sort of like that.

You can read it, it's safe.

And if that's an offer, I'll gladly take it up. (Though I've never heard of the Young Wizards series.) Any book with a chapter known as "The Gnome Chapter" is worth reading. And if the snipit of text is any indication it should be a very entertaining read.
