    Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy is now going to become the Inheritance Series. He had too much material to fit into a single, 3rd book, so he's writing two. Book 3 due out 9/23/2008.

    Just finished the new Star Wars book, 'Fury', and about to start on 'The Golden Compass' (which i understand is not the original title) by Philip Pullman. Got the whole trilogy-in-one-book book the other day.

    The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien. Obviously just mind candy, but it's been a really long time since I read it, and I was feeling kinda nostalgic. :chinese:

    Markedly different writing style than LotR. As a kid, I read the Hobbit several times before I read LotR. After I read LotR, as dry as it was, I couldn't handle the first few chapters of the Hobbit anymore. Too bedtime-storey-ish.

    But I think I'll love reading it to my kid.

    I read The Road recently. It took all of 2 days. Writers who write like that are more about the meditation on the subject (good/evil in the context of survival) rather than excitement and surprise plot shifts; the art of writing rather than the story. Half poetry, half prose.

    I still have a strong image of that scene where they go into that house and open the padlocked door on the floor looking for food. They find it. Creepy.
