Percy Jackson and The Olympians

I bought a book last Wednesday - Percy Jackson and The Olympians, Lighting Thief. This is actually a motion picture now. I have not seen the movie though; and I still want to read the book even if I can just see the movie. It has somehow made me interested to Greek mythology. And just this afternoon, I almost bought a Greek Mythology Dictionary (big grin). Gladly I was able to control myself. My colleague told me about this book. A series of this book has actually been released to the market a long time ago. I was not aware; perhaps because I have not been to bookstores when it was released/introduced. Anyway, I started reading the book this afternoon, while I was having a hot oil treatment for my curly hair (big grin); and so far, I am enjoying it. I can't wait to get hold of the second book (smiles).
