Artemis Fowl (all of them so far) - Eoin Colfer

I have read but was confused by Mostly Harmless, and I got the latest Artemis Fowl for Christmas, but haven't read it yet due to Spain. :-[

So many new books at home: Qi (the general ignorance one), Halo (first two novelisation thingies), The Picture of Dorian Grey, Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox, Twilight (in Spanish), Hitchhikers (in Spanish). I think there may be more, but I'm not going to be home for f*cking ages yet.
