I havent forgotten about this blog but...
I've been very busy with Christmas and stuff, so when I get some time I will write some reviews of several books I have read, if I can remember which ones I've read and which I haven't. (My memory isn't that good sometimes.)

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
WTF??? This wasn't at all what I thought!
First of all, the general storyline I knew:
The Time Traveler makes a time machine and travels to the year 802,701 and meets a very different society from that which one thinks would be in the future. He prepares himself to meet a society that has far advanced medicine and sciences, but instead meets two vastly different groups of beings: the Eloi, peaceful sun loving people who have the mentality of children. They lazy about all day with absolutely no worries. But at night they sleep in big groups to hide from the Morlocks, white, carnivorous, ape-like creatures who live underground and terrorize the Eloi.
The Time Traveler meets a young girl by the name of Weena and she follows him on some of his adventure to recover the time machine, which had been taken by the Morlocks and locked away.
I wont reveal the ending, but I was very surprised at the end with what happens to Weena and the Time Traveler.
I enjoyed the book very much, but I was shocked with what happened to Weena. (Okay, okay, I know its just a story but still!!! It's not fair!)
Anywho, here's my reading list:
A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne (Currently reading this)
80,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
So I seem to be on a classics streak... Why not? They're great books. :)

Eagles Booklist and Cowboy Poetry
If you like reading cowboy poetry, (and funny poetry!), I recommend you read
"Humorous Cowboy Poetry - A Knee-Slappin' Gathering"
It's an anthology of poems gathered from cowboys everywhere! It's the fifth book in a series, (I haven't read them all), so if you've read the others or have anything to add, that'd be cool.
I will add other books and possibly links to related websites and stuff when I have more time after halloween. :)
