As of this moment in time, I am reading Aunt Dimity: Vampire Hunter. I can't think of the author right now, and I'm too lazy to check... So, yeah...

I am now reading half an autobiography. Then I'll read the phone book.

They're about a boy named Bobby Pendragon who figures out that he is the "Traveler" from Second Earth. Travelers go from territory to territory (basically from planet to planet) that has reached its turning point, where the territory will either carry on peacefully or tumble into chaos. The man trying to send each territory into chaos is Saint Dane. Bobby's job, along with his Uncle Press, is to stop Saint Dane and save each territory.

In book one, he goes to Denduron, where a civil war is about to break out. In book teo, he goes to Cloral, a territory completely covered by water. The food supply has been poisoned, and Bobby needs to fix it. I just started book three.

I'm reading a book called "going bovine" (It's all lowercase on the cover), it's really good, incredibly random, and not suitable for small children.

I just read this book called 'My Side Of The Story.' Funniest thing I've ever read. Its about this gay teenager. Crappy storyline, but its really funny. I found it in HMV and read the first page and really liked it, so my friend bought it for me as an early birthday present. This is a bit from it:

'My name is Jarold, but everyone calls me Jaz, which is a damn sight cooler, I think you'll agree. I know that everyone hates their names blah-blah but mine is really bad so it's lucky it abbreviates to something with a bit of cred. I'm sixteen (just) and I have two remarkably undivorced parents, along with a sister and a grandmother and we all live in the same house together just like in a TV show. I've just started my A levels too, which me and Al are planning to fail, which is our way of saying smurf You to the British educational standard.'

I finished the first two books to a series called the "Hunger Games". They are incredibly good, actually. The third one is suppose to come out in august.

Now I am reading an EMO vampire series called "(something, something) Vladmir Todd".

I was contemplating reading them.

Just so I can mock them more accurately.

I have been at Sean's everyday for the last week or more. Tonight I will stay home after work. I am actually excited to read the books and I hate reading. :oops:
