"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Having already read the first three books, I certainly find this one interesting at its own rate. |

Just read some Creepypasta if that counts. Slenderman Jeff The Killer The Rake BEN Drowned and the one that has me freaked the most. Smile.dog or Smile.jpg I don't really believe it but that picture is disturbing.. *shudders* never want to see it AGAIN,saw two different ones,one was with a human in the background like it was summoning with a bloody handprint on it,the other was in a red background both claimed to be the 'real' one,but it ain't right...right...right? Acording to the legends Smile.dog was is meant to make me insane at the sight of it...I'm fine and it also meant to haunt me in my sleep..we'll see.... As for actual books I'm reading Marley & Me. Good but sad book. |

James Patterson's Zoo. Basically, imagine zombie apocalypse but with crazed mammals. It's a high octane thriller but lacking greatly in substance. The characters are flat, the science shatters my suspension of disbelief and the writing is amateurish with chapters telling of an animal attack placed in between chapters telling the protagonist's tale. Not to mention the use of some just plain bizarre metaphors and similes. The ending sucked too. Actually, ending's the wrong word. It's almost like a "to be continued..." message. Finally, the most grating thing are the radical environmental and Luddite messages in it delivered with the subtlety of a dam failure. Bottom line: idea is good but Patterson screwed it with terrible writing and stilted pacing. Personally, I think Cornova's Poké Wars is better written and executed (even if Cornova writes fanfiction and Patterson's a professional author). |

"A Practical Guide to Constitution Building" by Markus Böckenförde, Nora Hedling, and Winluck Wahiu This is a rather nice handbook that summarizes the major decisions that have to be made in the creation of a new constitution and (resulting from that) the design of the government itself. It is relatively concise for the breadth of the topic (at around 150 pages) but it does effectively give an overview of the topics at hand and the options that are available. I would definitely recommend the book for anyone who is interested in comparative constitutional law. |

Dinoland by Wolfgang Hohlbein, Frank Rehfeld, Manfred Weinland I can only recomment this novel (though I'm not quite sure whether it has an english translation ). It's about dinosaurs of course. An experiment gone terribly wrong opens a portal to the past... Parts of the present are being replaced by the respective area many millions of years ago... plus their habitants...EDIT: Now reading Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hollows |
