Now I am reading: No god, but God by Reza Aslan

What did you think of Breakpoint? I saw it in the Bargain Books section at the local B&N and have been considering picking it up.

It made me wonder how much is actually fiction, and how much he's painting over the truth enough to tell the rest of us without getting Gitmoed. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's worth the bargain basement price easily.

Almost finished with Steven Erikson's 'House of Chains' and have the next book in the series ('Midnight Tides') waiting.

Finished those two books, and am back to reading some books I got my kids. Finished Garth Nix's 'The Fall', 'Lirael', and am partway through 'Abhorsen'. Got a pile of Suzanne Collins' 'Gregor the Overlander' books to read next. Gonna hit Powell's for more of Erikson's 'Malazan' series after that.

Finished all that stuff, read SM Stirling's series 'Dies the Fire', 'The Protector's War', and 'A Meeting at Corvallis', some David Brin and David Gerrold, some more kids' books that I mostly forget at the moment (a couple of them were by Clive Barker-'Abarat', some by Garth Nix, PB Kerr, Jenny Nimmo, DJ MacHale, GP Taylor, Jonathan Stroud, Angie Sage, Susan Cooper, Susanne Collins, Eoin Colfer, and several more that I can't think of that I got for my kids), finished Erikson's 'The Bonehunters', and am currently partway through the next book in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series, 'Reaper's Gale'.

Read a bunch of stuff since that list, including, but not limited to:
a good dozen kids' books by Garth Nix, Edith Pattou, Chris D'lacey, etc.
book of short stories by CJ Cherryh (not bad at all)
silly trilogy by David Eddings (the Elenium)
and currently working on Hunters of Dune by Brian Herbert.

Waiting for a few books to come out next month (next Eragon book, next book in the Malazan series (Toll the Hounds). Will pick up some more of Brian Herbert's Dune books to keep myself occupied until then.

Read Brisingr and a bunch of Dune books (House Atreides, House Harkonnen, House Corrino, Hunters of Dune, Sandworms of Dune, Paul of Dune, the Butlerian Jihad) and am currently reading The Machine Crusade. I haven't dug into Toll the Hounds yet. It and a kids' book (Chris D'Lacey's 'The Fire Eternal' are sitting on my nightstand waiting for me to finish the Machine Crusade and the Battle of Corrin.
 
Just ordered Toll the Hounds. Should be here tomorrow. Won't get a chance to read it though until next week 🙁

Also ordered The Night Angel Trilogy. About assassins and received decent reviews, so I took a chance.

In semi-related news, I don't know if Martin will ever release A Dance With Dragons.
 
Currently reading a book called Empire by Orson Card Scott (author of the Ender series).

It's pretty interesting, it's about what happens when the president and VP are taken out and the country divides into left and right wingers and civil war ensues in modern times.

 
Nicholas Sparks - The Lucky One

No idea why I picked up that book from the library, perhaps the mystery angle. Wife was snivelling about me reading romace novel (she loves romance novels). Read it in like 5 hours. Meh. Next time I will look up the author first before just grabbing the book because it was on display as new.

RA Salvatore The Pirate King (Forgotten Realms: Transitions, Book 2)

Might have helped if I read the other books, but the intrigue in it was interesting for me.

I liked it. I won't spoil it for you. I have always liked Card's setup.

Noone else has posted in here that they don't read books? I find that hard to believe.
