Holy molies, I got alot to throw in. I'll keep it brief... or will I? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
Alright, lets get it on:
1.
The Ambler Warning by Robert Ludlum
First read day: July 27, 2006.
Last read day: August 8, 2006.
Read Time: 10 days of reading for a 489 paged book.
Read Speed: 48.9 pages per day.
This was a good book, to say the least. Its got its cool characters, cool style and cool story. Cool! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> If you like some of Ludlum's other stories (The Bourne Identity for example -- this is the first book by him I've read, I've only seen the Bourne movies), then this will not be a dissapointment. Conspiracy, fear, spies and dies. This is that kinda book and its a good'un.
2.
The Seventh Tower by Garth Nix
First read day: August 8th, 2006.
Last read day: August 11th, 2006.
Read Time: 4 days of reading for a 649 paged book.
Read Speed: 162.25 pages per day.
This was an awsome fantasy novel. Actually, its a trilogy that I got in a one volume hardcover edition (Book 1: The Fall ;; Book 2: Castle ;; Book 3: Aenir). This is a fantasy style of its own, something different than any others I've seen or read or played. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" /> If you like any sort of epic and/or fantasy book, then get at this one. Its well worth the read; as you can see, I couldn't put it down. There's a second trilogy out there, but it isn't sold in a single volume and I'd have to find and order each book online. Quite a hassle so I'll have to wait for now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> I don't pick bad books <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> , read it.
3.
Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King
First read day: August 12th, 2006.
Last read day: August 26th, 2006.
Read Time: 13 days of reading for a 816 paged book.

Baaaah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Did you see that? It took me
13 days! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> A sign?... Nah. Well, this was another awsome collection of King's short stories. I liked just about all of them, and I gotta say a few of 'em kept me up at night. Especially the one about "The Moving Finger" (say no more) because I was sleeping in a simple cabin at the time I was reading most of this book. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> Spooky. *Creek* Ahh! What was that?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> I gotta say my two favs were "The End of the Whole Mess" and "Suffer the Little Children"; of course, those were two of the maddest. Says something about my state of mind, dunnit? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> Alrighty, King fans. Dig in!
4.
Night by Elie Wiesel
First read day: August 29th, 2006.
Last read day: August 30th, 2006.
Read Time: 2 days of reading for a 135 paged book.
Read Speed: approx. 67.5 pages per day.
This was a pretty good book. I got it as a present, so I started it right away. Its the true story of the author about his experiance of being in a Nazi concentration camp. He and his father were separated from their family and put in the camp, and he tells of the terrable things he'd seen and gone through. Its very interesting and moving, especially if you haven't yet seen a movie or read a book that takes you into the same subject (I haven't, so this was a good experiance). Read it if you like, and if you're thinking "Iiii don't knoooww... Will I like it?", then I say to you "Its 135 pages long, the size of a Goosebumps book and not at all hard to read; its well worth the what-ifs." Thats what I'd been thinking, and I ended up being glad I chose to read it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Euh... Four book reviews seems good for now, yes? I gotta wake up early tomorrow, and I haven't gotten much sleep in the last few days (50% my fault, 10% other people's faults, 5% bad luck, and another 35% my fault <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ).
Time to be sleepsing.
G'night.
Killerzzz
