Friday Again

March already, what to do what to do. Only three more months about until school is out!

This is a tribute to my home town

So, winter is at an end...anyone else happy about that? I am, however I wish I could have gotten a few more really good ski days in. But, from the looks of the weather it's not going to be like that. Hmm, typical right? When you don't know what to discuss, weather is the subject to be on.

Well, mud season is approaching, and there is nothing to do but read, or track, or swim, and I'm stopping now. So any readers out there? If not, oh well I'm blogging about books.

So some of my favorite books that are a must read consist of all sorts of genres. From historical-fiction to fiction and science-fiction to mathematics. Yes I'm weird, I actually read stuff that is educational.

So a few must reads are:

The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls - a tale based on a true story

Harry Potter - J.K Rowling -  a classic in every sense

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova - honestly I was not to thrilled when I was informed I had to read this for a book group. Considering the main topic happens to consist of vampires. BUT! it was about the original vampire, Vlad Dracula, and was a tale of how he had survived and is hidden among us. The book is set in the 1900s in Europe. It goes into detail about the Byzantine Empire, the original Vlad the Impaler, etc. It's kind of hard to explain, but it is truly a good read.

The Devil and Miss Prym - Paulo Coelho - A book that displays human nature at its core. Where basically the "Devil" comes into a town and tells the townsfolk they have one week to kill one of the town members, and they could receive 11 bars of pure gold. A young barmaid is first informed of this, and fights with her inner demons. To either take the gold, or stay.

Eragon - Christopher Paolini - once again another fictional classic

Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton - Yet another older classic, that raises the questions of reviving extinct creatures 

Well, there is my inner nerd! Book lover! 

Well good bye imaginary readers! Until next time!
