Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony (Eoin Colfer)
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code (Eoin Colfer)
Artemis Fowl (I wonder...)
Shatterpoint (Matthew Stover)
Showdown (Ted Dekker)

As you can see... I have a slight interest in Atemis Fowl. As far as writers go, Colfer is my idol.

A question for fans of "Le Comte de Monte Cristo" - if either of you have read "The Man in the Iron Mask" also, would you say "Le Comte" is better? I like Dumas's style, but "The Man in the Iron Mask"'s story made me want to scream.

Thanks.
