I'm rereading A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin (AKA "Game of Thrones").

...And I'm lagging and procrastinating my way through War and Peace.

...And I'm lagging and procrastinating my way through War and Peace.

That one took a while to get through...

After reading through all the Song of Fire and Ice books, I decided to catch up with my wife who was reading through the Harry Potter books. I'm currently on the 8th one, "Half Blood Prince."

After I finish HP, I might go back to some Tom Clancy stuff. He's been writing a lot lately, and I need to get caught up. Maybe he should team up with GRR and we could actually get a new book out from that series sometime this year.

A Confederacy of Dunces by James Kennedy Toole

Its basically about a fat smart Don Quixote esque character who wanders around New Orleans and does things while being a good for nothing

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

I no longer take the bus, which has put a real strain on my reading time. Recently I've been working my way through the George RR Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire. Yeah, I read the Game of Thrones books like every other reading hipster...

The Damned by Nathan Greenfield

The Damned tells the largely unknown saga of Canada’s first land battle of the Second World War -- fought in the hills and valleys of Hong Kong in December 1941 -- and the terrible years the survivors of the battle spent as slave labourers for the Empire of Japan.

Last night i curled up w/ my kindle and thought i was going to read The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. Unfortunately it wasn't the book but a summary and study guide instead...waste of 10 bucks...thanks amazon :/ So instead i read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

[Parker 1st MRB]

I don't have the time to read because I'm constantly driving so I use audiobooks. I'm currently "reading" Interracial Hole Stretchers VI by Seymore Butts, a fascinating story about equality in the workplace.

I read Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell while I was on holiday. It chronicles his time in an anti-fascist militia in Spain after Franco's military putsch. Fascinating stuff for anyone interested in military conflicts and/or politics.

Just finished reading Tahereh Mafi's trilogy Shatter Me, Destroy Me, and Unravel Me...and currently reading The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Also am working my way through Matterhorn: A Novel of The Vietnam War, but not that excited about it. While the historic accuracy of it all is fairly decent, the writing style itself is choppy and sometimes feels as if it doesn't do the events it is trying to describe justice.

Anyone read any of these before? And SOMEONE ELSE NOW GO; I love books, I want to know who else does!

I've read Matterhorn. I suppose it was ok.

Right now I'm focusing my reading on topical pieces that are related to my field of study.

I LOVE to read! I read all kinds of stuff but I really love memoirs.

If anyone has a kindle or ipad or any ereader really there is a group on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EreaderNewsToday?r...location=stream

They link about 6 different free books found on Amazon a day... they dont stay free for long! They do the work of finding them for you. They arent always good but I have found some decent ones that way.

I really love Laurell K Hamilton - the Anita Blake series and for easy reads I love Robert Parker.

And yes - I am on the Hunger Games bandwagon although I hated the movie. The books were awesome.

Exactly how I'm feeling. It's just...ok. I was hoping for so much more.

I'm still on the old-fashioned paper route of reading. I have an ipad but just never have bothered to read with it, other than news. I'm old though so maybe I'm being stubborn.

Also, never read anything by Hamilton or Collins, but as long as people are reading, I've got nothing against 'em. Even Twilight encouraged a surge in book sales for other Y.A. authors, so whatever it takes to get people to read, I support.

I know what you mean about the e-reader thing! It took me a long time of fighting it before I would try it and the only reason I continue to do it is the free books without having to go to the library!!
