Book 11: Eats, Shoots and Leaves - Lynne Truss

Love this book- who would have thought that a book about grammar would be so entertaining? Not me! But I am now one of the converts - can't wait to read all those books with the fascinating names - "Pause and effect" or "Usage and abusage" or "You have a point there" or best of all "Mind the stop". Fascinating! I believe grammarians must be the most innovative book-namers. When I write my book I shall enlist one to give it a fancy name.
Ok! back to the book - Lynne is funny, entertaining and so utterly delightful that when it takes her all the way till page #33 to explain what the book does, all one wants to say is "aw shucks love, take longer." However, now whenever I write I am petrified if I need to add a comma; or should it be a semi colon ? I don't know if I improved my punctuation, but I sure as hell had a good read.

Book 10: Eragon - Christopher Paolini

This is not part of the list of books in The Telegraph - I just had to break my own rules and read a book that I already had.  I don't remember when I got this book - but I must have bought it at some time, for some reason that probably escaped me as soon as the deed was done. No regrets though; all in all I enjoyed reading it - specially after my bout of boring books.
I think Dragons are my new obsession, suddenly everywhere I turn they are right there in front of me. I think it started from watching Avatar and now I am inundated with references to them. What does this have to do with the book you ask? Nothing whatsoever, I just feel like going of on a tangent- I reply.
Getting back to dragons, I think the prettiest was the green one in Avatar, the one in "How to train your Dragon" was a rather boring color although cute in its own way. Saphira, Eragon's dragon is Blue- the nicest, freshest blue - I think this is the one I want. Sigh! guess I am not getting one any time soon, instead I shall read the other two books in this series when I am done with the requisite 50 for this year. Can't wait
