I'm reading a bunch of John Grisham books that I rented from the library. Right now, I've finished Skipping Christmas and the Pelican Brief and I'm starting on the Last Juror.

I like them a lot. He's a great writer, I plan to rent more of his books later, but first I need to read Dragon's Luck after I finish the Last Juror.

Oooh, that is such a good book. She can write!

As for your question, Vilstrup, it is taking the Napoleonic Wars, and adding an aerial division. The soldiers of the aerial divisions of the world ride dragons. That is the basic gist of it. The series revolves around Captain William Laurence, who unexpectedly acquired a rare Chinese egg and partnered with the dragon who came out of said egg, Temeraire.

I'm currently on book 3 of that series, Black Powder War.

Have anyone read Jules Verne? I love his books, just finished Dick Sand, A Captain at Fifteen, and The Mysterious Island. Now I'm gonna start reading The Adventures of Captain Hatteras. He also have some amazing classics: A Journey to the Center of the Earth or Around the World in Eighty Days. He wrote about space travel when flyable aircrafts just invented. He had an excellent fantasy, or he knew something. :)

I like Temple Grandin. She is quite a role model in the form that she is successful and well it is difficult to explain but I think for those who are on the spectrum do need some good role models to follow and look on with hope that they can achieve goals. You will have to inform me on what it is like. I've been aiming to get Cat's have Asperger's but the local bookstore doesn't stock it and I'd have to order it or get it from England.

I'm a historian. I MUST be like that!

I'm reading two books at the moment one of which is about all the difficulties and trickeries of the German language which can confuse even the native speakers ;)
