Book #49 -- Steven Gould, Jumper, 344 pages.

Good old fashioned fun teen sci-fi about a kid who can teleport. I'm going to have to read the others in the series and then see how the movie turned out.

Book #50 -- Thomas Neff, Holding Out and Hanging On: Surviving Hurricane Katrina, 98 pages

I heard that the movie actually draws a lot from the second book, which I haven't read yet. Not sure if that's true or not. Either way I plan to read all the books before watching the movie so we'll see. Other than having nothing to do with the book, how was the movie?

That's kinda what I figured it'd be. I'll save it for a time I feel like shallow action and a few decent special effects :)

I hated the movie, but people keep telling me not to let that put me off the books. So I won't...

Well, they're nothing special, imho, but they're definitely good fun.
