peeps,
yo, it’s like another week – yo…
so i finished 20,000 leagues about thursday-ish this last week – it’s not nearly as classic-y as 80 days because there’s a ton of under the sea info that’s a bit TMI – but the character of captain nemo is pretty good – anyone psychotic enough to run a ship and wreck havoc on the high seas and yet cries at the drop of a hat is a pretty complex character
i started two books near the end of the week – haven’t finished them…
the maisel report – a book about college football written by a guy, ivan maisel, that i knew a bit when i was at bama – the book basically talks about the overrated, underrated college football teams, traditions, coaches, and such – the book came out two years ago so some of the material is dated (like he thought saban was overrated and that alabama was overrated because neither one had done much in 2007) but it’s an entertaining read – unlike…
red pyramid – a BOB book – not a fan – part of that is my fault – i’ve read part of the percy jackson series and this seems to be percy jackson in egypt – there’s also some eragon stuff in there where the words have power and magic drains you – again, all ideas that have been used before – so i’m struggling to get through the 500 pages – although i took the book to bryant denny last night and got about 50 pages read while espn was at commercial timeout (for those of you who’ve never been to a college game that’s televised, there’s an annoying guy in white with a red hat that steps onto the field at every commercial break – and cues the officials to restart the game – he’s like a God b/c of his power over the game continuing…)
do hope your reading is better
sincerely,
mafeld
Hi, i just finished crispin… actually i finished last thursday. Everyone should read it because it is really good because Crispin has to gather up his courage to save his partner/ friend/ dad. He saves him from John Acliffe. The next book is even better except bear dies because of his wounds. So, its been 5 minutes it’s time for me to get off. 🙂 🙂
I finished lord of the rings the two towers today i loved it. I think the authors pupose was to entertain you because it is very entertaining because you get to see all the dead orcs…oh joy, every video game crazed boys favorite picture. It also entertains because there is alot of adversity and adventure. There is adversity because the humans, dwarfs and the elfs are very outnumbered which they always wi because thats how it goes cause the good guy always wins. There is adventure because the two hobbits sam and frodo journey to mordor the home of the volcano that can destroy the ring. I love the author who wrote this. He is very interesting. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
