I'm currently reading Eoin Colfer's new book, The Supernaturalist. And it's not out yet! I got it from the newspaper a month early to review! It's really good so far. It's about a boy about 100 years in the future who's abandoned by his parents at a very tender age in Satellite City. He's sent to an orphanage where they basically use the orphans as human guinea pigs. He finally escapes at age 14, but almost dies and sees Supernatural parasites sucking the life force out of him. Seeing these creatures saves him, since a group of kids that make it their duty to keep these creatures from killing people are looking for as many "spotters" as they can find to help them out, and they fix him up and take them into their gang. It just gets better from there. Anybody who liked Artemis Fowl or The Wish List HAS to read it.

It sounds really good. I still have to get my hands on the Wish List though. I read the summary and it sounds good. Wow! Must look out for this book when it comes out!

At the moment I'm reading One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest by Ken Kesey for a school project.
It's pretty... interesting, so far. It's about a man who decides to pretend he's mentally insane and go to a psychiatric ward instead of going to prison. But he finds out that wasn't such a good decision...

You honestly haven't heard of Eoin Colfer or his masterpiece trilogy, Artemis Fowl? Read the first book in the series asap.
Well that's cool. Shakesphere (sp?) is pretty boring in class but I bet if you read it outside of class it might be alright.

I saw the movie, and it was great. Hey, I just finished Digital Fortress. Finally. It was very good.

Cool. I already finished the Supernaturalist. I didn't read it as fast as OotP, of course, but I read it pretty fast. It was one of those books you just can't put down.

Nice, Matt. A page turner, huh?
I just got "Deception Point". Also by Dan Brown. Sorry, I'm in a mode now. I've got to read books that are smart thrillers right now.

Yeah, all of Eoin Colfer's books are.
That's yet another Dan Brown book that I've heard of / seen at the book store but have no idea what it's about. Is it good so far?

I actually like Shakespeare (I know, I'm a big dork lol)
I'm currently reading Face the Fire by Nora Roberts. It's the final book in her Three Sisters Island trilogy. I haven't read the first 2 so it's a little confusing lol.
