    Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

    I won't say I didn't like it (not after 850 pages, duh :grin:) but it wasn't THAT good IMO.

    Finished Falling Man earlier today, though I know it's gotten mixed responses, have to say I really 'enjoyed' it [as much as one can considering the subject matter.] Can't wait to get another DeLillo novel. :slight_smile:

    I'm reading Fifty Shades Darker and it's really bad. The first one (fifty shades of grey) was okay, but this one is just unbearably slow, there's like no plot at all except the main characters fucking like three times a day.
    I don't understand how a novel like this could be on tops of book charts.

    The fault in our stars- John Green. Lovely story, it's teen fiction but still great in some ways, but did not like the way the book was going towards the end.
    1984- Orwell. Amazing, very well written. i recommend it to anyone, and mostly to those who enjoyed the hunger games.

    Rena's Promise: Two Sisters at Auschwitz - What a great story. This woman promises her mother she'll take care of her younger sister when they're young. Years later, when the Nazis begin to round up the Polish Jews, she turns herself in and is one of the first of the Jewish prisoners brought to Auschwitz. She serves almost a year there before finding her sister, who arrived later. Together these women survive everything from disease to the Death March across Germany. Highly recommended. It's an eyewitness account as well, which makes it all the more powerful.

    I also just finished Roseannarchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm, by Roseanne Barr - I love this woman. The only part of the book that lost me was her chapter on feminism in Colorado during the 1980's, because it read like a (very biased) textbook.

    Now I'm reading My Life In France, by Julia Child - an idol of mine. I just got to my favorite part, which is when she enrolled at Lé Cordon Bleu. I almost attended an American branch of the school myself, and Julia's descriptions make me wish I was in the smoky Paris school's basement learning alongside her.

    Finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's a pretty neat story centred around a writer (Juliet Ashton) who finds out about the creation of a Literary Society on Guernsey during the Second World War and the German occupation of Guernsey. The writer decides to write about the Society and the people who formed it. In a series of letters sent from islanders to Juliet, she learns about their lives during the German occupation, and about one particular person (Elizabeth) whose life is remembered and touches Juliet's own life.

    Just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness. I'm finishing off the trilogy probably tomorrow or the next day when I finished the third book Monsters of Men.

    They are excellent.
