I read his bat books 5 years ago and didn't really like them.
But I didn't like bats so maybe I was biased.

Airborn isn't quite bats. Adventure is the theme. And characters are humans.

Just been reading "The Extraodinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle", by Catherine Webb. She's a decent author.

I didn't like the bats, but Airborn and the ice one were okay. The author lives in Ottawa, I have his autograph.

Never heard of it. Unless...isn't Airborn turned into a movie starring Liam Aiken? =/
Trying to read Eragon right now. Wanna get past it so I can get into other books.

Yeah. That's the one. But Kenneth is denying the film's rights because of its bad script. And Liam Aiken thing is a rumor. Four year rumor.

Oh. No wonder they kept confirming and denying Liam Aiken being in the movie. Maybe I should read the book. *adds Airborn to need-to-read list*

'gossip girl', because i was extremely bored at work and there was literally no one there for most of the day. almost everyone in that book is so despicable that it turns into a Great Gatsby situation; your favourite character is the one you decide to loathe the least. but on the plus side, it was very quick and easy to read, which is the type of series that will be good to read now i'm back at school.
i finally finished reading 'my place' by sally morgan for school, thank goodness. but i still have to analyse it chapter by chapter

I'm reading Matter by Iain M Banks. It's massive. 600 pages (in hardback). :D

Admittedly, it's not that great, true. There is too much melodrama and the plot is kinda bland. But it's still so...addicting.
Currently reading Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman and Twilight ffs.
