I have been reading a lot of books recently I just finished Michael Crichton's new novel 'Next. Is about genetics and about who owns what in this not quite present not quite future world where transgenic pets are becoming the norm. Which includes a half man half monkey hybrid, a monkey that can speak dutch and a grey bird with an extended vocabulary. Crichton has several storylines going at once and it is interesting to see these charchters cross into each others storylines.

Just today i got started on One Hit Wonderland by Tony Hawks (Not The Pro Skater) it is his quest to get a hit somewhere in the world after he had a one hit wonder.

One of my favourite books is surprisingly a memoir.... it's by Tony Martin it's called Lolly Scramble: A Memoir of Little Consequences and it documents his life through 15 short stories about his life from trying to corrupt his school's weird religious kid to his experience of having a whole tour bus turn against him. I urge evryone to go and seek it out it is bellyachingly funny and the Donkey Shines chapter particually resonates with me.

My sister just got into Harry Potter after 5 years of me telling her to read it she had nothing to do this summer so she went through all of them and now she is getting really weird i think she's having withdrawal symptoms she bought a notebook just because it had Harry's mug on it. Now she is starting to go thrugh them all again and she doesn't know how i could cope with it having to wait between books she has planned her year around when Harry's latest adventure comes out in literary and visual forms.
