Finished "Three Cups of Tea" last night and it's a definite 10/10

For a factual book it's the most extraordinary book I've had the good fortune to come across in a long time ... I strongly recommend it to anyone who feels despair at the malign forces at work in our world. It's truly amazing proof that one genuinely good person can still make an amazing positive impact in the world.

What on earth were they doing giving the Nobel Prize to President Obama (much as I admire him) while Greg Mortenson was out there having more than earned the honour? Awesome is the only word for him!

3/5 for Blood Red by James A. Moore. It was good but not much happened but it was still a good read.

Finished Duma Key by Stephen King yesterday and i would rate it 8 out of 10. A slower paced book than usual but the plot is fantastic and it never feels like its plodding. The characters are all very interesting, the story multi-layered and it is quite unnerving in places with a real sense of doom throughout the book. I would highly recommend it. :D

Nightlight: A Parody. 7.5/10. It's a parody of Twilight. It was funny and kinda a silly read. I would recommend it to any fan of twilight.

Oh definitely, I was confuzzled by that as well.
But I just couldn't resist the chance to poke some sort of fun.

I read What's In A Word by Webb Garrison. I've just reviewed it in my blog. I'd rate it 3/5.

In The Country of Last Things by Paul Auster

4/5 Not bad, very bleak, really gave a sense of things falling apart at the seams, but too much was left unexplained.
