My house has an amazing view of Skaha lake and to give you an idea of where is is situated, from it you can see tiny Penticton and just barely over top to see a little bit of Okanagan lake. Close by (less than a five minute walk) are the infamous diving cliffs. The highest of which are said to be 110 feet tall, but I've only jumped off the "60" as my highest. I am very uncertain as to he accuracy of any of the measurements of the jumps. They starts at 20 and raise in supposed intervals of 20 feet each until you get to the top where the last is only higher by 10. I am extremely skeptical of these measurements because the by my reckoning the difference between the 100 foot and the 110 foot is about 3 inches. -_- way to go guys. The other measurements are also obviously wrong because the 60 is probably less then 10 feet above the 40. The people who named them were probably drunk when they did it anyway. In the winter I ski a lot. I think this upcoming winter will be my 3rd or 4th seasons pass.

SO i'm telling you about myself.
Foremost I spend a lot of my time on my computer. In the future I want to go to UBC and get a Bachelor of computer sciences. What job i will get after that? I do not know. I might end up getting a different degree but still one of the same subject. Such as software engineering. I am convinced that a world centered on computers in exactly what we are heading for. It is not hard to see. For years the pace at which computer technology has advanced has been at an incredible rate. The rate itself is increasing too, very quickly. Pretty much all science fiction would agree with me that computers will come to the forefront of each of our lives. That is after all the premise most of them are based on. Unless the world was destroyed by a nuclear winter or some other catastrophe in which survivors scrounge for resources like water on a radioactive wasteland filled with mutants and gangs of desperate young boys or marauding tribes which maybe have come to dominate entire regions which they call their own by the divine right of their leader Caesar which they pronounce like KAI-ZAR. Also their currency is bottle caps because that's what everyone uses on the wasteland. Anyway that is not as likely.

Would you choose to read another book with these same characters?
Yes, well I already have started but that is beside the point. The Eragon series has proven to be enthralling and extremely well written. I would recommend the books to anyone who has even the slightest interest in this sort of genre. I plan on finishing the entire long, long, long series. Even though the last book of the series, Inheritance is 1380 pages (I think). I don't even think I have the time or the dedication to get through it all but still I will try. I have already slowed down the pace at which I was reading immensely as i moved from one book to the next as I had been reading an extreme amount in a short period of time and it starts to take it's toll after awhile. I'm pretty sure most people in the class are not done their under 300 page book while I am already finished my book which is 661 pages #notbragging. The series has so far captured my interest to continue whole heartedly and I believe it will continue to do so for the next two books. There are still many direction and diverging and converging plot lines that it is sure to keep me pulled in all the way to the end and I'm excited to get there.
