Aye, Cap'n Pete- I got "Pirates/Scientists" for Christmas-and Finished reading it Dec. 26th- a fast and fluffy lil Book-Aye, Like"Hitch-Hiker's Guide"- Only with Pirates- and Ham. Not as Funny as Eric Idle's Blurb

would have Us believe, but a harmless Distraction.

I am Currently Trying to finish Sandra Rice's " Sisters of the Sea"- I had the Pleasure of Meeting Ms. Rice at PIP and don't wish to Discourage anybody from Reading Her Work-BUT...

Going between "A History of Pirates: Blood & Thunder on the High Seas" by Nigel Cawthorne... as well as "Patrick O'Brian's Navy; The Ullustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey's World" by Richard O'Neill.

Both were Christmas presents from a friend of mine... & I am enjoying them both greatly! Invaluable info.

I'm currently reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.

The last few books I've read are:

The Lord Thief by Cornelia Funke

Eragon by Chriopher Paolini,

The Prophecy of the Stones by Flavia Bujor,

Raising Dragons by Bryan Davis,

The Candlestone also by Bryan Davis,

Peter and the Starcatchers by Barry and Pearson,

The Scorpion House by Nancy Farmer,

and that was just in January.

Books I recommend... some classics, Dracula and Frankenstein, neither are like their popular movies. And The Lord of the Rings, of course.

Some of my favorite books are by R.A. Salvatore, all about his character, the dark elf, Drizzt Do'Urden.

May not be a pirate book but I am still reading ( but it is so good, i have to tell someone) Bill Bryson's In a Sunburnt Country. Amazing book about the guys journeys around Australia. And those who know me, know that i am daffy for everything Australia.
