i just finished The Season of Passage by Pike (i know i started it a while back, left it, and then picked up again) and reading it the second time and being considerably older, i think not only did i understand more of it, but it made me remember how much i loved the book as a kid. i was not disappointed. :grin:

now im about to read Ender's Game for the first time. some friends read it when we were younger, but i never got into it. Mara is kinda pushing for me to read it because it's one of his fave books.

I have just started reading a book called Drylor The First Artifact. It is an Action/Fantasy book created by Ryan Tomasella. So far it is actually damn good, it is a story about a man that suffers amnesia and struggles to regain his memory. As his memory starts to come back to him he realizes that his brother is an evil S.o.b and he makes it his mission to stop him.

It seems like a fairly generic story line but the author makes it his own. There are tons of twists and turns in the story (mainly when the main character thinks he remembers something from his past he realizes that it was only an illusion that his brother wanted him to think was true.) I must say I am really impressed with this book, then again I read almost anything that involved sword and sorcery. Below is the cover of the book and what the back of the book reads.

When a man wakes up inside a cage that is being carried through
an underground city, he has no idea where he is or what has
happened to him. As Von, a victim of amnesia, is taken to a jail
cell to await his fate amongst elves, humans, dwarfs, gnomes, and
halflings, he is told he is a member of the Royal Guard of Genisus.
It is not long before he is transported to the palace where he
meets an impatient king who eventually returns him to his jail
cell while deciding his destiny.

As Von’s memory slowly returns, he discovers that he is the only
one who can protect Drylor—a world that abandoned him—
from its greatest evil, his own brother. Through his journey to the
truth, Von meets an unlikely group of friends who are willing
to sacrifice everything to help him stop his brother Scarlet
from annihilating the only world they have ever known.

As Von’s past becomes clear and reveals his future, he soon
realizes the only way he can end his brother’s heartless
massacres is to find him and kill him.

The book is for sale through all major online retailers, so you can buy a copy from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles or any other book retailers. If you're too lazy to look it up then here is a link to the barnes and nobles website where you can place an order:

I am reading a very dusty book I found on the back of the bookshelf... it's called lord of some rings, by a dude called Jr Token.

So far, it's purty gewd. About half way in.

Looking forward to reading "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker on my plane ride next month.
I also recently got an Agatha Christie book I read over 10 years ago (no joke, little homeskillet grade 7 whassup) and I remember it being awesome. Can't wait to reread the crap out of that. Solve them mysteries, Scooby Doo up in this hizzy yeye.
