    I just finished a wicked book call "Witch Child" I loved it sooooo much!!! :) I think everyone should read it heh. It was based off of these old diary entries from England about a girl and her struggles after being accused of witchcraft. And they suggest that she might really have certain powers. . .and its just really cool, intresting. The author . . who I cant think of at the moment >_> made so its easy to read, she "translated" it to modern english. Well what are you waiting for??!! Go read it now! =P

    Sorry, I haven't called my work so i don't know when the Eldest is coming out yet. I will check next time I work and look it up in the Computer if it's not in the computer then a release date hasn't been given to our company yet...

    but to stay in topic-
    I've just finished reading vol. 14 in the Kare Kano Manga series and have begun reading another section in my photography book... i'm reading a section at a time so that i can fully understand it and try out the tips in it with my own photo taking. I've also begun reading a mythology book i didn't know i had. It's on Greek and Roman Mythology... I don't remember the title at the moment.

    Eh. I bought Bittersweet by Danielle Steel before, but I haven't gotten myself to read it just yet. Oh well. I had just bought Anne Rice's Blood Canticle and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist yesterday. I thought I'd read them sooner than I ought to.

    Just finished Dean Koontz The Face. Fairly good book, but only a one time deal. Rereading it would suck...

    Anne McCaffrey. She's okay, I think. I never could get into her books, though.

    The Wheel of Time Series. I'm currently on book 3, The Dragon Reborn. Depite what many say, I'd like to read threw the "bad" books that people lable as starting at book 5 or 6. Maybe it gets good again after.

    Ten Thousand Things

    Tao Tse Ching by Lao Tzu
    ----------
    He is the father of Taoism.

    -The central vehicle of achieving tranquillity was the Tao, a term which has been translated as 'the way' or 'the path.' Te in this context refers to virtue and Ching refers to laws. Thus the Tao Te Ching could be translated as The Law (or Canon) of Virtue and it's Way. The Tao was the central mystical term of the Lao Tzu and the Taoists, a formless, unfathomable source of all things.

    I've read some of those books myself, i've heard of people describe it as Die Hard with fairys XD.

    Anyway, i decided to pick up The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams today, i thought that i should read the book before i se the movie (which i am looking forward to).
