Summary: (Taken from Wikipedia)
"Inkdeath" Finds the immortal, but slowly decaying Adderhead, his brother-in-law the Milksop, and his trusty right hand man The Piper ruling over the small village of Ombra, where Fenoglio, the three Folcharts plus an unborn child reside, and Farid works for an increasingly powerful Orpheus, who treats him like a slave while promising to read a dead Dustfinger back to life, in exchange for the Bluejay's (Mo's) life. Fenoglio, the author, gives up writing at the beginning of the book and grows increasingly drunken and senile. Farid gives up his fire at the beginning of the book after Dustfinger's death. Ombra is under constant threat by the Adderhead's men, who have killed every young adult male in the city, and regularly kidnap children to work them in the mines.

Movies and Audiobooks

Everyone, I finally sat down and watched the sixth sense and I have to say that everyone who said it was a good movie was right. In the last few days I've watched a few movies with mixed results. At the theater's I've seen Transformers 2, Terminator Salvation, and Star Trek. Star Trek was good, Terminator Salvation was OK, and Transformers 2 was a disappointment. Transformers 2 felt like a Megan Fox commercial with a movie about robots wrapped around it. On DVD i watched Sublime, Henry Poole Is Here, and Charlie Bartlett. The first two movies were strange, artsy, and a bit pretentious. Charlie Bartlett on the other hand I thought was just a funny flick.

I’ve had an awesome week with audio books. I’ve listened to the following: A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O’Reilly, Animal Farm by George Orwell, Catastrophe by Dick Morris, Crazies to the left of me and Wimps to the right of me by Bernard Goldberg, Glenn Beck’s Common Sense by Glenn Beck, and The Housing Boom and Bust by Thomas Sowell. It’s been a great week with books and all of those books are great books. Feed your mind with these great books.
