I have been listening to Year Zero by Rob Reid. It is read by John Hodgman (the PC guy from the old Apple commercials). The story is fun, but John Hodgman really pluses the book. The story is about aliens considering blowing up the Earth, because they realize that they owe a ton of money due to music copyright laws (aliens have their own personal Napster accounts). The protagonist is a lawyer whose law firm represents most of the music industry and is trying to help figure out a compromise.
I also started Battle Magic by Tamora Pierce. It is the third book in a series which is the second or third series in a particular universe. I received it through the GoodReads First Reads giveaway program. I have been a bit slow to warm up to the book, because it has been hard understanding all of these characters. This is because the author is not spending any time giving background. She is assuming that you are reading this book, because you have read her other books. I did some background reading on wikipedia; however, it is still a bit confusing.
Finally, I am reading Uncle John's Funniest Ever Bathroom Reader by the Bathroom Readers' Institute. I won this through the GoodReads First Reads giveaway program. I have always liked these Uncle John's books, but I had never purchased one. I am so excited about this book. It is just filled with lots of short funny stories and fun facts. It is simply fun times.
Fun! Entertainment! Randomness!
