Is summer reading just blah this year or is it me?
Just finished 'the River King' by Alice Hoffman. It's about an odd private boarding school, the town it's situated in and some of the people that play there. The most interesting character is found dead in the local river and I wish more of what he thought and felt was at center of this novel. But then again it's Alice Hoffman(shrug) 3 out of 5 stars because it was a 2 day read.

I'm reading an entire series at the moment. I read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, now i'm onto Speaker of the Dead. All by Orson Scott Card. There science fiction... I usually hate anything thats not horror, but these books are really good. They only last a couple days each, but that because they suck you in and you can't put the book down. Thats the kind of book I like. Almost like a Laymon novel...

I just read Arthur Machen īs "Tales of Horror and the Supernatural" and "Best ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood". I think those guys are the best. They have influence one of the best novel i ever read: T.E.D. Klein īs "The Ceremonies".

Contact by Carl Sagan (Sci-fi)
So far it's so boring that it scares me.
