[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sabriel-ebook/dp/B000FC13MM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1307148155&sr=8-2"]Sabriel by Garth Nix.[/ame]

I was at McKay the other evening and a young lady was telling her boyfriend that he haaaad to read it. I introduced myself and asked her why? What was so good about it? Sounded interesting enough, so I got it. Kinda interesting so far.

Had to get all the Feegle voices out of my head after Wee Free Men, before I picked up the next one in the series.

The bookstore just called to let me know this one is in. I think I will be able to pick it up tomorrow and start on it right away.

Hoping to get a Kindle for my birthday then I won't have to wait as long for books.

The Sabriel series is REALLY good! REALLY REALLY.
Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorrsen - are the three titles.

like the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy (or more loosely the HP series) these are YA fiction that are based on a 'coming of age/rites of passage' format. BUT just likst HDM and HP when they are read by adults they have greater meaning and content.

I loved the Sabriel series because the series is lead by a very strong young female character.

Just finished Born To Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall

This is an inspiring book for many runners. For this runner, it shed new light on the biomechanics of running and the bill of goods we've been sold as far as running shoes are concerned. Looking forward to shedding my running shoes for those Five Fingers now. The little sexist flourishes (and notable omissions!) irked me.

I need a good book to read.
maybe I will drag Corkey to Barnes and Nobel tomorrow
he doesn't know this yet
I want something mindless that involves vampires, witches, or fairies, or some such nonsense. Or something set in some doesn't exist outer or inner world. Something where I don't actually have to remember it all 6 months later!

My mom got a new book in that I hope to begin reading soon called Autism Tomorrow: The Complete Guide to Help Your Child Thrive in the Real World. Because My sister has autism, I'm looking forward to reading this and learning how to better help her to succeed in the world :-)
