unfortunately, I did not get enough time to read Snow Crash, maybe when I get my projects finish I will begin to read it, right now my work is overflowing through my face.

This weekend, I read a bit of, The Stars My Destination. I didn't read the entirety of it, but I read enough to know the main character and the purpose of his goal. The main character, Gully Foyle, is the last survivor of a ship called the Nomad and is left for dead there. When a space carrier, Vorga, ignores his plea for help, Foyle goes on a quest for revenge, so from here on out, the actions he does will title him an antihero.
 I got to the part where he unsuccessfully plans an assault on the Vorga, the ship that ignored him and gets captured. So, I'm about to read the part where he goes down the dark labyrinth like prison they send him to after trying to get information about the Nomad. It's pretty good so far. Looks like a long  read, so I'll try to have most of it read by next week.

So this weekend, I read the rest of the Golden Compass. The concept behind of it was cool, apparently people live with these shape shifting animal beings called deamons whose lives are linked to their owners, so if they die, their owners die and vice versa. It's about a girl named lyra who is given a pocket watch by his uncle that can answer any question. She escapes an evil women named Mrs Coulter with Gyptians that head toward the north and befriends a polar bear wearing armor to help free children from experimentation.

I have to say this is definitely different that your typical fantasy story, it takes place in a world similar to ours, but yet still has a fictional feel to it. I'd recommend if to people who want to read a fantasy book with an imaginative world to it.

I've recently read The book, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, I have read it before and didn't finish re reading it, but my view on it was different than what I remembered when I was young, I think about 10 or 12 is when I last read it? I think my impression of it when I was a boy was I didn't think much of it, I just remembered a magical wardrobe that teleports these kids to a fantasy world with a talking lion and a sadistic witch with the power of ice.
I also don't remember if I enjoyed it or not, but I did see a play of it and later on the theatrical movie which I did enjoy more than it's sequels. Reading it recently about some chapters in, I find that it is a interesting book, the world is imaginative although a bit cliche since I have been reading many other fantasy throughout my life. There's talking animals, mythical creatures and medieval like settings, I have all seen it before. I found the characters to be interesting though, the kids each have there own distinct personality, the villain is pretty fun too, she manipulates one of the main characters to join her temporarily and Aslan is still the badass I remember. Picking a Lion was a good choice because I always thought they represented a top power, the king of the food chain. Overall, I may finish reading it, but because this class requires reading about every week I might as well put it on hiatus.
