Thanks for asking. I'm actually reading a couple of books right now: A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon. It's a fiction story full of quirky characters and it's written really well. I'm also reading Guide to Wine by Fiona Sims...because I aspire to be a wino. :)

I just finished Eragon last week (everyone knows what that one is about).
I am currently reading a book called "Amazonia" by James Rollins. It a lot of fun so far but I'm only about 75 pages in. It takes place in the Amazon and starts with the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of an ex-Ranger...you see when he dissappeared into the jungle, he only had one arm, but 6 years later when he came out of the jungle near death...he had two!

David Standish's HOLLOW EARTH, "the long and curious history of imagining strange lands, fantastical creatures, advanced civilizations, and marvelous machines below the Earth's surface." Who knew that so many otherwise intelligent people (like Sir Edmond Halley, of Halley's Comet fame) thought the Earth was hollow and inhabited?
