I loved the books Eragon and Eldest. Allison and I listened to both books on CD. I picked up Eragon in a Wal-Mart in Arkansas before a very long drive to Texas from Arkansas. I absolutely loved the story and was so disappointed because the movie was so rushed and terrible. Christopher Paolini created a whole new and wonderful world. Eragon and Saphira live in that world in my mind, the world created by the movie as far as the landscape was pretty close, but the story was so off from the books that it became distracting and painful to watch. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, I think it will most likely be named Empire or something like that. No release date on the movie yet but I am constantly watching. I am anticipating this much more than the last Harry Potter book to come out (There is a series that actually translated well to the big screen).

I love to read.
Greed is Good
Author Jonathan Hoenig wrote this book at age 23. It is a straightforward account of how to increase your wealth and uses examples from pop culture to illustrate his points. I picked this book up back in 1999 and loved it. I started adapting many of Hoenig’s principles and they have really been helpful throughout the years. Hoenig has a website called Capitalist Pig.com. The site also has an e-mail newsletter and Hoenig is now a Managing Member of a private investment partnership. I first saw him on some show on MTV, and since that time he has gone on to bigger and better things. This book, if you buy and read it has the no-nonsense approach to financial security and becoming an investor.
