To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. I seem to be one of the few in my English class who actually found the book to be interesting. I'm near the end now (as I decided to read on). Interesting, supposedly, most of the book was actually ghost written.

Truman Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of this novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person – Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's – has gone on record as believing his assertions were true. However, Capote would likely have been much more aggressive in claiming credit for the novel's Pulitzer Prize had he been the real author, since he never achieved a Pulitzer for his own work. His persona was far more flamboyant than Lee's, and their writing styles reflect this difference. A letter (dated July 9, 1959) from Capote to his aunt indicates that Harper Lee did indeed write the entire book herself [1]. However, in one respect, his influence on the work is inescapable: he was the model for the major character of Dill.


yeah, I don't think he wrote it. Pretty sure Harper Lee did herself... cause it doesn't make sense for someone to have written it. Crackpot theories are fun though :)

To Kill a Mockingbird for English as well. Outside of English... nothing, and it's driving me insane. I just ordered eight books from Amazon, none of which will hurry up and COME already.

Reading Eldest currently. I'm just getting to the climax of the novel (the Battle) and here are my thoughts on the books

Eragon - The first half is really cool. From the prison escape scene, it gets dull.

Eldest - Its alright. The "shock horror surprise its a twist" moments aren't really that shocking (that said, I hear there is at least one actually shocking one to yet to come in the book). Some parts tend to drag on for no apparent reason, but the book isn't that boring as long as you don't try to tackle it in large chunks. It picks up practically straight after the first one, so its good in the sense that Paolini didn't try and shift the time period to fast-foward through the repercussion stuff.

Bear in mind that Eldest is a large book without too much action for a lot of it. I'm up to page 623, and the action in the book has been minimal thus far (that's not to say there isn't action, just a lot of it focuses on the training Eragon undergoes and his ever-so-tiresome vain attempts to form a relationship). [EDIT] - Having just said that, I hit the Chapter "Inheritance", action ahoy mateys!

I found the big twist in 'Inheritance' quite predictable. But maybe that was because I accidentally opened the book near the end. And saw his name. And parts of conversations. But still predictable.

I've started reading Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. As I'm only a few minutes in, I can't really judge it, but so far, it doesn't seem like a total trainwreck, so that's a good thing. :P

I'm about to dive into Anne McCaffrey's books. I plan to finish all the Pern books at least by the end of next month.
