Listening to: The Android's Dream by John Scalzi. Kind of interesting, definitely not the kind of sotry I thought it was. It's more a of pseduo-sci fi mystery. Once again narrated by Wil Wheaton.

Reading: The second Honor Harrington novel. Haven't ever gotten around to reading this series. Not too bad, though this one is defintiely a bit slower moving then the first book.

I'm getting into comic reading in a big again after a break of almost 20 years! Loving it. I was always a Marvel guy but I've started to expand to DC and Indies.

In the mean time I picked this little gem up. Geeky fun!

It is. The art is great and it's modern, and the story is very unique. I could have seen this being a concept for a movie.

Batman: Earth One. Been waiting a while for this, it's pretty good, a new take on Batman, in the same universe as the Superman Earth One released last year.

I enjoyed the Superman: Earth One and i want to check this one out as well. I have it on my hold list at the library.

I'm almost done with Catching Fire (The Hunger Games Series)

[spoiler]OMG! I think that this one was a bit darker than the first one. I couldn't believe that Katniss had to go back to the games and the games seem to have a much different goal than the first one. The whole thing about Peeta saying that Katniss was pregnant. The part with President Snow at the beginning totally creeping me out about the blood. Then I felt bad for Gale when he got whipped. Cinna getting beaten up was awful. I liked the nicknames Nuts and Volts. The whole arena is a clock where bad things happen at each hour. I was sad when Mags ended up sacrificing herself. The jabberjays was eerie mimicking the voices. The monkeys were awful.[/spoiler]

I can't wait to see these movies. Amazing stories. I'm gonna start Mockingjay right after I'm done with Catching Fire.

I just started a new series of short stories on my Kindle that take place immediately following the events in SW ANH.

Finished my last audio book and moved on to some history: The Rise and Fall of the Thrid Reich by William Shirer. Very interesting and detailed histiry of Hitler's rise to power, learning a lot.

Do they tell about Chewie ripping the arms off the dude who didn't give him a medal?

LOL! No, but they do make some little errors about things they say happen in ANH that actually happened in ESB!
