current read - Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

suggested reading level: 6th grade

my age: 28

i know.  based on my last reading choice and today's choice, you've probably dismissed me from your list of book suggestors.  and i know.  my last book entry talked about the trite and immature themes found in books.  i know.  i know. 

but after reading jane eyre, i need a mental break, ok? 

so far, percy jackson isn't as thrilling and creative as harry potter (the most likely comparison).  but, it's still a fun read especially with all the references to greek mythology.  ahhhh, takes me back to seventh grade.  the series takes you through the adventures of percy jackson, a demigod (aka - half mortal, half god).  there are 5 books in this series by Rick Riordan, and all of them are 300-400 pages along (but really, what's up with kid's books being so dang long?)

only about a third of the way in so i'll update later   =)
