Just finished Blink by Malcom Gladwell. It was a pretty good book, i liked it, but i had a hard time reading it and reading the Enders Quartet books by Orson Scott Card
( Read more... )
Omg, I laughed aloud when I read the order you are reading the Harry Potter series. You are insane. I hope at some point you read them in order to get the full awesomeness of the series.
Outliers sounds really cool, i will have to see if the library has it. I love reading from the 300 section. I have read books on how tv effects kids under 4, how one family tried to go a year without buying anything made in china and of course the obligatory books on how fast food is so evil for our bodies etc etc.
It is definitely a very interesting read! I think they have the blink in paperback at borders for pretty cheap, not sure if it just where i live or not...
Glad to hear you liked Leviathan! I have heard a lot of good things about the book, so i hope it lives up to expectations!
Anywho, I'm currently reading The Princess of Landover, which is the sixth book of Terry Brooks's Landover series. The first five were far better. I'm really only reading it now to keep me reading until I get my Kindle for Christmas, at which time I'll start reading the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
Landover is a fantasy. The first book is about a man who's recently been widowed who purchases a magic kingdom out of a magazine and ends up becoming king. The first five books were a lot of fun. The sixth is more of a bore, because it's told from a different point of view -- a snobby teenage girl who thinks she's the bee's knees...you know how teenagers think.
Dresden is a series of twelve books (thirteenth comes out next year sometime). They're about Harry Dresden, a wizard-for-hire in modern-day Chicago, and his little adventures fighting crime with the local police. Well, the first one was, anyway. That's all I've read so far. There are vampires and werewolves and fairies and flying monkeys and giant cats and all sorts of fun things.

Ooh! Two books I haven't heard of yet! I will have to see if the library has them. They sound interesting!
