I don't know what translation it was, I will check, thanks for the tip.

I am working on reading so many books (darn clearance section at half price books!), but I am currently working on the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I just finished Dead Until Dark and am getting ready to start Dead in Dallas :-)

I said series a large number of time in just two sentences.

Series! Series! Series!

(Only reason I took the plunge on the last one was because of his Family Feud performance, which aired on TV last week. He seemed like a pretty intelligent guy, in spite of some of his interviews on television/PPV.)

Old Man's War by John Scalzi

Scalzi has been compaired to Heinlein. I don't know about that but this was a very entertaining read with more than a few laughs.

The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald.

Also, The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, because Mrs Danger got it from the library and I liked it when I was a kid.

I just finished the newest Laurell K. Hamilton book in the Merry Gentry Series A Lick Of Frost.

It was actually pretty good with a nice twist.

Mrs. Danger has good tastes in books. If she liked this book I would highly recommend Andrew Carnegie by David Nasaw by far one fo the best biographies I have read in some time!
