Hiassen is one of my favorite popular authors. So funny and capable of creating some truly bizarre characters.

Been reading:
The Famished Road by Ben Okri (didn't like)
Blink by Gladwell (loved)
Falling Man by Don DeLillo (it's not White Noise, but it's very good).

I haven't checked out either but there are also audio versions available where Campbell reads it himself.

Yeah, those are the ones. Really cool, unique working of the dragons into the storyline. I actually quit at Black Powder War, but I'll probably finish the next one sometime later. Just got a little burnt out.

This is a good formula. Take something already awesome, add dragons. MEGA AWESOME!

Cool picture. The coolest part about the series is that dragons have basically become warships in their own rights. They have captains, flight crews, ground crews and such.. at least in Europe. In Asia, they're completely different. It's a really unique, cool workup of draconian culture that the author creates.

BTW,

Just looked at the wikipedia page for the Temeraire series. Evidently Peter Jackson has the rights to the film and is planning on making the movies.

Yeah, he's had the rights for a couple of years IIRC. That's actually what got me to read it in the first place (well, when I say "read" I mean "listen on audiobook").

It's a really well-done series, she brings you totally into that world.

I've never read any of those, although I did catch part of the movie on HBO some night.

Apparently the series is nothing at all more than a retelling of the original Star Wars trilogy...but with dragons!

The main selling point being "it was written by a teenager!"
