Next project crisis (Host vs Rules)

For anybody who cares, I have two books in my hands (so to speak) to start sporking. Neither I have read before and I just know the basics. Also neither give me much confidence; I can't shake the feeling they'll both piss me off. One is "The Rules" and it's a book about how to get men while the other is "The Host" by Meyer. I think I'll read the first chapter of each on the weekend and let that guide me.
