I started up this blog with the intentions of bloggin about everything i like, disliked and otherwise, yet I haven't got around to writing anything about books or writing...

I'd like to firstly thank Justin from dragonblogger.com for giving me the inspiration to actually do something about it :D

My favourite author is a fellow Australian by the name of Matthew Reilly.

All of his books are very action-packed, and intensly gripping, yet easy to read.

Once you start on the first page, you can't get enough, whether it's a story about an island filled with killer apes, or a futuristic tale about two unique brothers racing hover cars, it's easy to get far too involved in his books.

His most famous novels are about a hard-ass character Shane Schofield.

My favourite of which is 'Ice Station', a story about a remote ice station in Antarctica.

Scientists at this station make a discovery hidden deep under a 100 million year old layer of ice. (Not the type Ben Cousins uses) It ends up being something very far from what you would expect to find down there, and the grueling tasks that Schofield and his US marine team goes through to get to the truth tells one truely amazing tale.

"They are a tight unit, tough and fearless. They would follow their leader into hell. They just did..."

Nothing would make me happier than for this book to be transformed into picture for the whole world to see, non-book readers and all.

It could be the blockbuster of the century, truely, all it needs is an inspired director and a bunch of rich producers :D

Callan Mulvey (Channel 10's Rush(Josh), and Underbelly) would be tops as Schofield, rolemodel-looking and scar to boot.

I just hope someone picks up movie rights ASAP, before I rise up and take it for myself (Dreaming...)

Matty, if you ever read this, stop with the 'Contest' pilots (Contest Will Be Pretty Cool Actually) and whatnot, DO ICE STATION NOW!

Make me proud :D
