Books that I've Been Reading

Well I know it's been quite a while since I've last blogged...Well the usual excuse not able to access the site and shifted to a new location. Anyway it's back to blogging again.

Well been reading three interesting and un-put-downable books. Firstly been reading Philip Pullman's Dark Material Trilogy, right now on the Amber Spyglass. The books interesting as I've been following the Lyra and Will through the previous books (Northern Light/Golden Compass and Subtle Knife). Had to put the book on hold as couldn't resist starting the 7th final installment of J.K. Rowling's famous boy wizard, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and can't seem to put the book (or close the window in case of the eBook). Worth the wait, the hype, and the hoopla that surrounded it. Well finally been reading the Systematic Design of Instruction by Walter Dick, Lou Carey, and James O. Carey. Initially couldn't get myself to read it. but somehow today the book seems pretty knowledgeable and fascinating. And this coming from a person who would normally avoid such books...so this quite interesting.

Three very different books. Two fiction and one knowledge based. But all very interesting and helpful (whether to pass time or improve your working knowledge).
