			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve kind of had an urge to read a few books (something I don&#8217;t do often enough), and I kind of get obsessive and tend to read the books in one sitting (kills my sleep cycle&#8230; ;&lt;)</p>
<div id="attachment_82" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 208px"><a href="http://blog.thedt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/034545712901lzzzzzzz1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-82" title="Axis of Time" src="http://blog.thedt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/034545712901lzzzzzzz1-198x300.jpg" alt="Axis of Time" width="198" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Axis of Time</p></div>
<p>In the last few weeks, I&#8217;ve read quite a few books the first was a series called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_Time">Axis of Time</a> Which is a series revolved around a US lead taskforce of ships in 2021 which end up traveling back in time to 1942, and the impact these advanced warships have on the culture of 1942. The problem isn&#8217;t only with the technology they bring back with them (which is a huge issue in the books), its also the attitude of the crew, how many ships in 1942 had female crew members? or openly homosexual ones?</p>
<p>I quite enjoyed reading this series, and I recommend that you go read them too ;p</p>
<p>There are three books in the series (I do wish there were more <img src='http://blog.thedt.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<ul>
<li>Axis of Time: World War 2.1: <a class="mw-redirect" title="Weapons of Choice (book)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Choice_%28book%29"><em>Weapons of Choice</em></a></li>
<li>Axis of Time: World War 2.2: <a class="mw-redirect" title="Designated Targets (book)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_Targets_%28book%29"><em>Designated Targets</em></a></li>
<li>Axis of Time: World War 2.3: <a class="mw-redirect" title="Final Impact (book)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Impact_%28book%29"><em>Final Impact</em></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Onto the next series of books that I&#8217;ve been reading</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.thedt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/twilight11.jpg"></a></p>
<div id="attachment_78" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.thedt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/twilight11.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-78" title="twilight" src="http://blog.thedt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/twilight11-300x216.jpg" alt="Cast of Twilight" width="300" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cast of Twilight</p></div>
<p>Twilight, yes I know many of you are sick of hearing about it =p so I wont go into much detail, but the books were quite enjoyable. Its like a classic romance novel where two lovers are figuring out their relationship and have to struggle through issues and dangers&#8230;.. It has a nice supernatural cast of creatures, like vampires and werewolves in it to make things interesting ;p.</p>
<p>There are four books in the series</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_%28novel%29">Twilight</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Moon_%28novel%29">New Moon</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28novel%29">Eclipse</a></li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Dawn">Breaking Dawn</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Quite a few people have said bad things about the movie, I more want to see it to compare how the author and director envisioned the characters compared to how I imagined the characters (just looking at the movie poster I can see small differences)</p>
<p>If you any suggestions for the next series of books I should read leave a comment <img src='http://blog.thedt.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>(If you haven&#8217;t figured it out yet, I do like scifi-ish books ;p)</p>
