A Dance With Dragons by Geroge R.R. Martin.
When I finish it, I will probably pick up the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I am on book 9 or 10 of that series, but I it has been so long since I read them that I don't remember what is happening.
I also may finish the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I am maybe 1/4 of the way through the book and I find it dull so far. It's one of the only books I have started and not finished. My husband tells me it gets really good about 1/2 way through... but it has been a struggle.
For the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, you have to get past about the first 100 pages and then you seriously can't put it down. I had that same problem and then I got past that first part and I seriously could not stop reading until I was done with the series!!0 -
The Count of Monte Cristo, for the second time. A must-read classic.0
-

Love all three of them. I read my Bible scriptures for the day (doing the Bible in a year program again); then I read a couple of chapters of the Ya-ya's in Bloom; at Night, I read Water for Elephants0 -

I am reading three: The Bible, a paperback book called, "The Assignment" by Mark Andrew Olsen, and Through the Fire on my Kindle for iPod by Shawn Grady. The two fiction books aren't amazing, but they are easy reads and they were free (paperback from the library and free kindle book). I read a LOT so free is my friend. I read about 3-4 books a week.0

I read all the time, but I refuse to go the way of the e-reader. Mainly because I just refuse to buy books. I'm not going to pay almost the same price for a book for one that's online. Maybe one day, but for now, no. I frequent my library. I go online, reserve the book I want, when it comes in, they email me, and I swing by after work to pick it up. I love turning a page. I love the sound. I love the smell of books. I love cute bookmarks.0

Just finished reread of Games Of Thrones. Was reading enough each week to stay with HBO series that just ended recently for the season.0

A lot of libraries now have ebooks you can rent and you can get cute covers for them
I've actually never paid for a book and have 70ish on my Kindle right now.. but I know some people do not like illegally downloading torrents..0 -

I love books also. I collect them, and I am beyond fanatical about keeping them in pristine condition. A book I know I'll want to keep and read again or pass on to someone else is a book I'll buy in hardcover. But I travel a lot for work, and it's just easier for me to carry my Kindle on the road (it's lighter, takes up less space, and I know I won't mess up my actual books). So I use Kindle to read classics (though I have a ton of these in my "real" book collection, they're free on e-readers) and any other free or very cheap books I can find that look interesting to me but are probably not books I'd want to keep in my bookcase and someday pass on to my kids or whomever.
In short, I guess I am saying I think there's room for both.0 -
I am reading The Girl Who Played With Fire, second book of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series. Pretty interesting book. The first one was hard to get into, but then it got good and took off.0
-
I'm reading The Descent (can't remember by who cuz I'm at work....shhh!!!!)....
FYI...I get books from my library constantly and there are some national libraries that will let you become a member for like $20 if your local library doesn't do ebooks.0
