    The Silmarillion..........It's pre-Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
    Yeah it's nerdy.....so what

    I LOVED THIS! It doesn't have the same tempo as LOTR or Hobbit, but it's like the bible for Middle-Earth!

    I'm reading something right now that Tolkein probably would have read, The Tain Bo Cuilaigne (Cattle Raid of Cooley), an early Irish prose epic. BAM!

    The Queen's Fool - by Philippa Gregory (she also wrote "The Other Boleyn Girl")
    She writes a lot about the Tudor's and the war of the roses time period. Very good reads.

    I have three words of advice:

    Read "Gone Girl"

    It's an amazing book with twists and turns, and there is a movie to be released this year! :)

    Just finished The Innocence by Dean Koontz, have to wait until July for his next book The City.

    I've been reading this one for a while now and I just can't get hooked into it! It's a little slow going for me but I'm dedicated because I love Koontz lol.

    Favorite books of his are the Odd Thomas series and Watchers

    The Shining - Stephen King

    I've wanted to read it for the last 15 years but never got around to it. I finally bought a digital copy that I can read on all my devices (PC, tablet, phone) and now I'm almost done with it. You'd be surprised how much reading you can do waiting in line for little things like a sandwich during lunch.

    Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie (book three of The First Law) and I am Providence by S.T. Joshi (biography of HP Lovecraft). I'm reading the Abercrombie book as I picked up the first book of the series while on a trip so I'd have something to read on the plane. Totally hooked and would highly recommend for fantasy fans (think of it like reading a violent Tolkien).

    I have about 100 pages left of the 50 Shades series. My friend gave them to me a year ago and I finally got around to it. I think I missed reading them when it was "cool." :tongue:

    I just finished reading "All Quiet in the Western Front". I'm not the emotional kind but when I was finished I was really chokey.
    Wanted to start "Neverwhere" but the friend who lent it to me needed it back for a while.

    So thinking of what I should read next... hmmm...

    Just finished The Waves by Virginia Woolf and really enjoyed it.

    Now I'm reading The Beautiful & The Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's rather funny, in a sad kind of way.
