I just finished Andy Weir's "The Martian". If you like sci-fi, you should make it the next book you read. It's probably the best book I've read in the last year or two.

I just finished "Lines of Departure", by Marko Kloos. Decent, well written sci-fi that you can tell was written by a former soldier. Solid, but not spectacular.

Corrian wrote:Decided to start up Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson again. Short 190 page book that I've read maybe twice already (Watched the movie like 8 times which is a very high number for me). I actually prefer the movie to the book (Watched the movie first, so maybe that has something to do with it), but still a quick and good read.

"Bridge to Terabithia is the story of fifth grader Jesse Aarons, who becomes friends with his new neighbor Leslie Burke after he loses a footrace to her at school. Leslie is a smart, talented, outgoing tomboy, and Jesse thinks highly of her. Jesse is an artistic boy who, in the beginning of the novel, is fearful, angry, and depressed. After meeting Leslie, Jesse's life is transformed. He becomes courageous and learns to let go of his frustration."


Have you seen the original movie?




I'm reading The Prisoner of Zenda as well as writing one of my own.

The Silmarillion's exceptional, but daunting. It literally took me half a year to get through it in high school.
I'm also reading John Stewart's America: the Book. There aren't words in the English language that adequately express my adoration for it.
