Football and dragons
Football is on tonight - State of Origin II for those foreigners interested. I just can't raise the enthusiasm - rather curl up with my book.
I have been reading the second book in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. I got interested when I heard PJ has optioned the movie rights, and then got hooked because it's basically the Napoleonic Wars re-written with DRAGONS. Awesomeness. So there's enough sea-faring adventure to keep the Naval fangirl in me squeeing, spiced up with some cool dragon-riding shit. I highly recommend these books.
Speaking of dragons, finally saw Eragon the other day. Rather surprisingly liked it - any thoughts from the peanut gallery? I was scoffing a bit at the stuff basically copied off the Pern novels :p
